I’m a stay-at-home mom to 3 busy kiddos. I’m a wife to an amazing man. I’m a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I’m a college graduate with a degree in Social Work. I’m the youngest of 11 siblings. I’m a reader. I’m a baker. I’m a new recipe lover. I’m now a food blogger!
I just recently moved across the country (from Idaho to Virginia) for an amazing opportunity with my husband’s work. It was a huge transition for us all, especially since we moved away from 90% of our family. We’ve encountered a lot of “growing pains” since becoming Virginians and it’s left me feeling a little disconnected. I have been thinking of starting up something like this where I could express my feelings and the little things I find interesting and exciting.
Now, I know it is the end of 2019 and like “who reads blogs anymore?” is probably running through your head. I get it, I’m right there with you! I have no idea who reads blogs anymore haha but I feel like this will be a fun platform for me to share who I am with friends and family and hopefully new friends to come!
So the big question – What to expect from this blog? Mainly food….I mean it’s in the url (though to be honest I wanted it to be just sugarandstice.com but apparently the sweet little .com costs money in the high tech world and I’m all about saving the moolah;) For a year I ran a little at-home bakery in Idaho and had to stop when we moved and I’ve been craving to share what I’ve learned through making tons of breads, rolls, cookies, and more! Also, I love cooking meals for my family. In fact, the love of cooking is my greatest blessing and curse. It is a blessing because my family and I eat delicious and healthy food everyday. It is a curse because I make a lot of dishes and I HATE doing the dishes!
Well, there you have it. A quick sum up of what I’m doing and what you can expect if you decide to follow along. I hope you will join me in making recipes and adding great home cooked food to your table…along with some dishes in the sink 😉
