As far back as I can remember my favorite holiday was Thanksgiving. The comfort of gathering with family and friends around delicious foods often as well as on special occasions and for holidays is something I have always cherished. To me these are the times in our lives when memories are made, love and laughter are shared and those who have passed remembered …all of which are priceless.

I’m super excited to announce that I’m entering a new chapter in my life. I’m proud to say that my sons and I have recently purchased a sweet and savory food manufacturing company with two upscale retail bakeries. Ganache Premium Cakes and Confections is the name of our new business and you can learn more about us by visiting our website www.ganachepremiumcakes.com. While I still hold inspiration in high regard and will continue to seek it out and share it with my online community as well as others, I hope you will come along on with me on my new venture.

We have lots of dreams and plans for the direction and growth of this company. Although we have plenty of work ahead of us we look forward to the tremendous opportunities owning a family business can bring. As most of you know, I believe that everything happens for a reason and I feel grateful and blessed to be able to have this amazing new chapter of my life unfold with my sons at my side. I hope you do join me on my exciting new adventure and I hope we will be able to help you make your life a little sweeter as well.

Please look for us on Facebook (under Ganache) as well as other social media locations coming soon! If you or your company have any wholesale needs you can look for Pastry Strudel House in South Windsor CT, this is actually the kitchen where all the sweet and savory magic happens. All of our products are created and baked fresh daily and I know you will love them as much as we do! Thanks for all of your support and here’s to having your cake and eating it too!

Today My Baby Turns 22 that’s right. Wow time really does fly.

Today my baby turns 22 and is now a man, no longer in need of mommy. That’s right babies grow. But where did the time go? Seems like only yesterday I was up in the night feeding him every two hours, a mere 7lbs. 2oz. fitting snuggly in my arm he is now 6’4” towers over me and wakes with a five o’clock shadow. How is it I still see him as my little baby? Happily wishing him the best birthday and a long happy, healthy life full of success I am a bit sad for my own selfish reasons. I am wondering if I am all I thought I would be at this time in my life. Although Ken has grown into a young man with a big heart, high integrity, dependable, honest and loyal to a near fault, as well as extremely hardworking, today I am left wondering if worse than the reality that I still have so much to accomplish in my own life, if I have been a good mother. I think it is natural to wonder but I question if I should have had more patience, if I was too hard on him, if I should have given him more of my time when he could’ve used it. Did I provide the right amount of emotional and financial support? You know you are old when … I am looking back and I wish not only that I had spoiled him more and taken him on more vacations but that I had soaked in every single second of his life instead of cleaning the house and working all the hours I could.

Dear Ken,

I know you didn’t have everything you could ever ask for growing up but I did the very best I could right or wrong. As you venture off into the world on your own I hope you know that your entire life and the bright future ahead of you are now all yours for the taking. Don’t be afraid to take chances. You can do, become and conquer anything you put your strong willed mind to. Always stand up for yourself, keep the feelings of others in mind but do not allow others to put limitations on you as you move toward your dreams and successes. Remember that any failure you may face is a chance to learn and for every door that closes a better one will open believe it. The respect and admiration I have for you today I always will. Wherever you go and whatever you do may the warmth of the love I have had for you since birth surround you. I couldn’t be happier for you or more proud of the man you have become. I cherish the memories we’ve built and I look forward to our future together not only as mother and son but as friends. I love you Ken Happy Birthday!

Love always,

Mom xo
