What a year this has been. As of today, we’ve officially been in our home for eight and a half months.  Man, has this year has been full of ups and downs.

We are grateful for the opportunity to work with so many incredible brands. Super Dad found a job he loves. We’ve adjusted to distance learning and are missing our family road trips terribly.

But, above all else, we are healthy and together and so we can’t complain. I’ve gotten the opportunity to work on old recipes, and create new ones.
