I realized I haven’t really talked about school in a while. The last thing I mentioned, I think, was that I was quitting… well, turns out that’s not happening. Somehow, I got accepted into all the universities I applied to. Honestly, who would have guessed that was even possible? Not me.
Money ended up being the deciding factor, so I narrowed it down to two local schools. But with my new job, things feel a little easier to manage. And in the spirit of reconnecting with myself this year—balancing work, maybe school, and life in general—I’m giving myself a little space to figure things out. I don’t have to confirm my acceptance until May 1, which feels like a tiny gift of breathing room before diving in fully.
On top of that, I’m planning to get a cottage food operating permit. If you haven’t heard of it, it’s basically a way to make food at home legally and sell it—think bread, cookies, pies… all the good things. I’m still figuring out the exact steps, but I’m excited to learn and create, and maybe even bring a little extra joy to my days (and others’) with baked goods.
I’m also thinking about bringing back my bunny’s hangout Instagram. It feels like a nice way to share this little journey—baking, farmers markets, and the quiet, happy moments in between.
Here’s to slowing down, exploring, and savoring the small things along the way.
