About Me

Hello, I’m so happy you’re here! Whether you’re here to order a cake or to talk all things motherhood,

you’re in the R I G H T P L A C E.

For the last 6 years of my life, my job description has been “cake decorator.” I’ve recently added “mom” to the description, and I must say it’s my new favorite part. With less than a year of experience in this new career, I have a lot to learn. I want to take you on my journey into my very raw and real experiences with pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. People told me about pregnancy/birth, but they didn’t REALLY tell me – the joys, the aches, the pains, the hemorrhoids. I want to remove the filter and give you all the juice about pregnancy and moming for the first time. I promise to be real and honest so you can feel as prepared as possible for your positive pregnancy and birth experience – can’t wait to adventure with you 🙂
