Opening this month’s Pampered Chef Kids’ Cooking Club box felt like unwrapping a whole new world of creativity.

Our home is very sensory-driven, so I’m always looking for activities that bring hands-on learning, calm engagement, and confidence-building to the kitchen. This kit checks every box.

Braylon’s face when he saw the tools? PURE JOY. And the way every piece is designed for little hands… 10/10.

We’re using this as a way to:
• build independence
• strengthen fine-motor skills
• practice following steps
• stay present + connected
• make the kitchen feel like a safe sensory space

If you’ve been searching for a way to get your kids excited about cooking (without chaos), this series is a win. Shop with your local consultant or online at https://bit.ly/43MPMtA

This Christmas, I’ve found myself reflecting on the last six months—and wow, what a journey it’s been.

When this opportunity first came into my life, it arrived during a season that required strength, resilience, and showing up even when things felt heavy. Life didn’t slow down, and neither could I. Looking back now, I truly believe this role helped keep me grounded and moving forward during a very trying time.

At the start, my confidence was low and my expectations were small. I wasn’t sure where this path would lead.

Fast forward just six months later, and this has become such a meaningful part of who I am. It’s opened doors I never imagined. It reignited my love for writing. It reminded me why community matters so deeply.

As a business owner myself, getting to spotlight and support our incredible local businesses is an absolute honor. Every story shared, every event promoted, every small business cheered on—it all matters.

This journey has reminded me of a few important things:
✨ Never look back—growth happens when you keep going, even when you’re unsure.
✨ Confidence is built through action, not perfection.
✨ Supporting local isn’t just business—it’s personal, powerful, and impactful.

To our families, our small businesses, our community leaders, and everyone who shows up for one another—thank you. Your support, trust, and encouragement mean more than you know.

From my heart to yours, Merry Christmas. I’m so grateful to be here, and I can’t wait to continue growing, learning, and serving this community in the year ahead. ❤️🎄
