Let's Get started...

Today is my official First blog !!!   I have been tinkering, and very intrigued by this process, for a while now. 
I guess my desire for this stems from my attemot to log all the crazy , wild and interesting things that happen in my life.  I feel very blessed.  I have had a lot of wonderful adventures, and met a lot of amazing people in my 33 years.  I have 3 beautiful children  Caitlynn (7), Kelsea (5), Izzy (3).  They are my life, in every way. My daughter Caitlynn was diagnosed with T-Cell ALL on 9/4/08.  It was a total shock and life has changed ever since.  Before her diagnosis I had put my entire life's work into a small little Cafe and Bakery.  3 months after she was diagnosed life quickly came to a screaching halt.  As the "everything" in my restaurant, the battle of Caitlynn's daily medical needs proved too much for me, and I had to close the doors to my Bakery.
  I can honestly say that in hind sight I am very glad I did.  Since then I have completely downsized and gratefully reopened a small Catering kitchen in Madison, WI.  I Have been very fortunate to obtain a spot on Martin Luther king BLVD in Madison, WI to operate a small food Cart.  The food cart is a lot of fun, adn hard work,but it also allows me to be where ever Caitlynn needs me to be, any time.
  Catering ...  a very fun new world to be focused in.  I have been able to expand my visions and get involved heavily in event planning.  I have also discovered that catering weddings can be fun !!  Unlike my previous experiences in which it was nothing but difficult.  Don't get me wrong, it is a tough world, but very fun and fast paced.  I have also forged many wonderful relationships, with many corporate accounts, that allow me to be creative.  My most favorite thing is to create custom menus for events.  The WOW factor is always high on my list. 
  I was very fortunate to reconnect with a high school friend , Heather Heinzer, on facebook in 2009.  We have since partnered up in this crazy world of Catering.
  Life isn't easy, and leaves us worn out at the end of each day, but heck IS IT FUN !!!
