Word on the street is September is almost over. A month I spent surviving, not thriving. Sometimes when life gets this busy—so busy there isn’t room to think—things fall through the cracks. But if I were to throw a more positive spin on it, it’s a season to really figure out what matters most. If there’s no time for silly little things, all that’s left is your most important work. You have no choice but to drop the trivial. Continue reading Links for Another September Sunday at Jo...| Joy the Baker

Hey, friends! The weather in Texas is thinking about cooling down, which feels like the perfect time to dream up b...| Joy the Baker
Friends, good morning! I’m so grateful we get to catch up today. How are you feeling? Me? Well… a little distractible, if I’m honest, but doing my best to stay on task. The slow change of season has me holding onto hope. Summer was a heavy lift for me this year, and I’m craving the different kind of energy that fall always seems to bring. I can already feel it in the air via the apple cider doughnuts I made a few days back. Continue reading Notes on Hope, Cake, and Other Sweet Thing...| Joy the Baker
Cautiously, and optimistically, I am feeling better lately! In therapy today, I said I felt finally tipped upright instead of feeling tilted half in and| Joy the Baker
Happy September! It is still in the triple digits here, but the light is changing. We have the most beautiful windows in our house, and fondly refer to the fall and winter as “sunset season.” The colors during this time of year are so electric and I love intentionally watching the sun go down — I’m often in bed too early to catch it during the summer (don’t judge me). I’ve been reflecting a lot on this summer. Continue reading The Summer I Filled My Cup at Joy the Baker.| Joy the Baker
Friends, hello and happy Sunday. We’ve landed at what feels like the last weekend of “true” summer before September Summer sets in - which, I do love!| Joy the Baker
Since you last heard from me, I’ve made a batch of salsa verde from my garden, cleaned and organized my kitchen, made bouquets with these zinnias from my flower patch, spent countless hours working on Floso (my dirty soda business here in Oregon), and drafted my fantasy football team. I’m sorry to say I haven’t read a single book this summer that I liked—but I’m sure one is out there. Continue reading Sunday With Salsa Verde and Zinnias at Joy the Baker.| Joy the Baker
Yes, it’s still approximately one million degrees outside, but my brain has already jumped ship to pumpkin season. I haven’t baked much this summer (besides pop-up bakery testing), but suddenly I’m daydreaming about bread marathons (yes, I restarted my sourdough starter), pumpkin muffins, and lighting a fall candle while the A/C whirls in protest. This time of year I love a little kitchen reset. It’s like stretching before the big holiday bake-off. Continue reading From Summer to Ci...| Joy the Baker
Friends, I’m still languishing in heartbreak, but you know what? It’s okay. I am very much in the thick of things, and things will shift, but for now I have learned to say, “I am sad,” pretty confidently. It’s okay to be sad, it doesn’t negate happiness or tranquility, but rather sits alongside it. As I navigate this journey I am making sure not to rush to say, “I’m healed! Look at me!” simply because it is about the journey. Continue reading Healing vs Healed at Joy the Baker.| Joy the Baker

Hello friends, and welcome to another fine Sunday. If we’re paying attention, July is slipping through our fingers like SPF on a hot day. You feel it too,| Joy the Baker
There’s something about mid-July in Texas that makes me feel like I’m living inside a Dutch oven on convection mode. My house, charming as the old gal is,| Joy the Baker
Hello friends! Whew, I never thought how grateful I would be to write the words "hello friends" again. It's been a whirlwind few months for me, so much so| Joy the Baker
