It’s been a while since I last shared a blog post, but for good reason! Life has been beautifully busy—preparing for our little one’s arrival, working on coaching certifications, and even finding time to get creative with a mural in the nursery. With so much going on, I’ve been leaning into small moments of calm, and one of my favorite ways to slow down has been with a homemade lavender latte.
There’s something incredibly soothing about the combination of lavender and espresso. The floral notes bring a gentle sweetness, perfectly balancing the richness of the coffee. Whether you’re looking for a cozy morning ritual or a mid-day moment of peace, this latte is the perfect treat.
Ps. I am currently working on some samples for my Easter sugar cookie pre-sale. I will offer a few different options of sugar cookies that will be available to order early April. I will also have a pop-up sale closer to Easter with some Easter baking. Not sure what this will entail but it will be whatever I feel like baking at the time. I will not have pre-orders for this baking as I am not sure how much I will be able to handle. There could be anything from hot-cross buns to pretty cupcakes. Time will tell, so stay tuned!
