2nd Anniversary in Taos!

 Jimmie and I had such a hard time trying to figure out where we wanted to spend our 2nd anniversary. After much debate, we found a nice AirBnB in Taos! It so happened to be the town that Grammy and Grampy love!

It was so fun exploring. The weird thing was that Walmart didn't have a produce section. Weird right?! We had to go to Albertson's down the street. 

The view from the AirBnB was gorgeous!! I will stay there again in a heartbeat. Jimmie liked the toilet the best. HAHA it was a fancy one that cleaned and dried your butt. If he had the money, I know he would buy one. Maybe he will someday. 

It was such a nice weekend to spend with each other. We walked around the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge. Super dope! Could see for miles around it and the drop was so far down! I normally don't like heights but for some reason love bridges. Weird, I know. 

We also went to Taos Pueblo where there are still original Native Americans living there. We bought some jewelry and items there. I love exploring my roots and the roots of the American people. I am part Cherokee. I also just enjoy getting to know other cultures. 

Honestly, I want to buy a house in Taos. I am just in love with the feel of it. I also just adore adobe houses. When I was little, I dreamed of having a hacienda by a lake with a live-in chef. Maybe that dream will come true with Jimmie as my chef lol 

Bake it With Sass Adventures

 As some of you know, I started an online business in April of this year. It's been fun and A LOT of work. If you've seen The Sassy Baker show - that was the catapult to Bake it With Sass. 

When I understood the urge inside me was to create a community center for Deaf children so that they wouldn't grow up like I did - I realized I needed a second source of income. My first idea was to open up a bakery but someone said there was a better way - a way that wouldn't be as time-consuming (eventually). Obviously, now, it's time-consuming because I had to create a website, send up an email marketing system, and am trying to be consistent with posting on social media. 

Bake it With Sass is an online membership providing baking courses in ASL with English subtitles. I also have blog posts sharing baking tips and about Deaf culture. This is meant to be a community where you can learn from each other and level up your baking skills! 

I have two subscriptions: New Sass on the Block for beginners and Beyond Sassy for intermediate/advanced bakers. Each one comes with a growing library of baking videos in four categories (so far): cookies, brownies/bars, cakes, and allergy-friendly. I am hoping this becomes bigger as I grow.
