Busy, busy, busy! Silicon Valley is an awesome place to live no doubt, but sometimes, all the hustle and bustle gets to me. Recently, I’ve made several changes to try and reclaim my sanity – entirely changing careers, fields, and pace. So far, so good 🙂

With my new focus on ENJOYING life rather than just living it, I’ve been looking for all the ways I can find joy. One passion I have but haven’t truly explored much is baking! Ever since I was little, I loved waking up to my mom making muffins or banana bread. I equated these sweet breakfasts with family, fun, celebration, and comfort. Now that I live entirely across the country, I’ve found that making something delicious brings me back to those sweet memories – a nice way to stop and enjoy life.

Even though I enjoy baking every time I get in the kitchen, I don’t do it as often as I’d like to. Hence, this blog! 😉 I want to push myself to bake more – more often, more variety, and with more creativity. I’ll admit, usually when I hit the kitchen lately, I whip up a quick bread or box mix of muffins. They’re delicious, but there’s just something about the love that goes into baking something homemade.

So I guess when you get down to it, that’s my quest here – learn how to bake more goodies and enjoy the process. Day 1 will be tomorrow…no idea what I’ll make yet, but fingers crossed it’ll be a yummy adventure!
