Don’t forget! When you are grocery shopping this weekend, add a shelf stable “family meal in a bag.”
Bring it to your next session and receive $10 off your appointment!
Yes, thankfully SNAP is being funded again, but there is still a great need for food donations, especially through the holiday season. Kids that usually get meals at school, will be home for a couple of weeks around Christmas and these can help fill in the gaps. Let’s help feed our community together. 🥰

First snow ❄️ of the season on the farm. 🥰 I’ll be the first to say that winter is not my favorite season, but there is something so calming about the peaceful, quiet way that snow falls. 😍😌 In the rush of this Monday morning, I hope you take a mindful 30 seconds to step outside, take a deep cleansing breath of fresh air, and catch snowflakes on your tongue like you did when you were a kid… completely in the moment. 😋

It’s a new week and a new opportunity to participate! So far I only have 4 bags. 😔 Let’s really step it up this week to help our community.
Bring a meal in a bag for $10 off your session!

I find myself looking for easy, homemade meals that I can quickly make for my family which led me to make meals in bags.

Don’t forget!

Let’s feed local families together in November!
From November 1st to November 30th bring a “meal in a bag” to your appointment, and receive $10 off your session! 🤩
What is a “meal in a bag” you may ask? Super fun and easy! Grab a reusable grocery bag (usually 99cents at the check out), and put in all the shelf stable ingredients for 1 family size meal (usually less than $10 worth of food), along with the recipe. Dont forget dessert or a sweet treat too! Here is a link to a few examples, and there are many more if you do a search on Pinterest or Google.

“But Suzanne, why can’t we just bring a plastic bag of random canned goods?” You are welcome to, but you won’t be eligible for the discount 😉

Here’s the thing:
Although food banks appreciate any and all donations, many times they, or the families in need, are left to scrape together funds to get staples needed like eggs, milk, meat, bread, etc. With shelf stable meals in a reusable bag, all the ingredients are there, and can sit on a shelf without risk of spoilage until the family comes by to get what they need (just don’t forget to include the recipe in the bag, lol). Plus the family can reuse the bag for other needs. 🙌🏼

If every client I currently have booked in the month of November does this, we will have enough meals to feed over 60 families! 😍

If you watch the news, or scroll socials, you’ll see repeated atrocities and conflict. There’s repeated “us vs. them” and polarization and violence. BUT, if you turn it all off & go into your community, you’ll find people doing good. You’ll find love. You’ll find hope. Go be one of those people doing good things...making a difference. Here’s an easy way to help today. I’ll share more opportunities in the comments as I learn of them in the coming days & weeks. And if you know of an opportunity to help or give locally, feel free to share it in the comments below as well. Can’t donate right now? No time to volunteer? It’s ok! Just share one or all of these opportunities to your socials. Let’s flood the newsfeed with good!

Can you believe there are only 70 days left in 2025 🗓️ 🤯?! We are only 9 days away from 🎃 🍁 , just 36 days away from 🦃 🍂 , & 63 days til 🎅 🤶 🦌.

That being said, the holiday calendar over the next 9 weeks is a little 🤪 wild. I have most of my regular clients scheduled, 🥰 so if you have received a notification of your appointment, please go ahead & check your calendar. 🧐 Let me know asap if the times/dates are in conflict with your current plans so I can do my very best to accommodate. 🎉
If you have a gift certificate that expires at the end of the year, PLEASE message me right away so that I can get you scheduled. I only have a handful of available appointments left, & because I make certificates good for a year, expiration dates are firm. 💪🏼 If you can’t use it, feel free to pass it on to a friend. 🤗 Either way, if you wait to message me til December, there is unfortunately a 99% chance I will not be able to get you in. 😔 As always, the best way to reach me is via text.
Speaking of gift certificates…. 👀 The annual sale will be posted VERY soon…as well as other exciting news. 🤩 So make sure you check back often to not miss the details!
🎁 🎄 💆🏼‍♀️ ✨ 📣 🤓
