Where I’m at With My Goals
Two of my goals at the beginning of the year were to 1. read every day of the year and 2. have one of my photos published. With a smile on my face and while being in a state of disbelief as I type this, I'm currently two for two!?!
The incredible woman I work alongside, Sara (amazing boss, amazing baker) has been featured in The Chalkboard Mag. She shared a cookie recipe and some lovely insights on the beauty that is heritage grain.
