    Read excerpt

    This past weekend, Ranna (my work wife, if you’re new around here) and I celebrated MFM’s 12th Anniversary. I started the business “officially” when I moved to Asheville on August 8, 2014. So, 8/8. For our ten year, we threw a fun lil dinner party for my nearest and dearest. Last year, I was coming back from maternity leave, and this year, we ate mini cupcakes. lol. I feel like ten was really built up, and now, we’re just in a steady rhythm where my biggest goal (kind of) is to keep going.<div c
