Hello!
My name is Alise I’m a self-employed/work from home mom (formerly a pharmacy operations administrator), hobby crafter and self-taught cake decorator.
I have a little girl, aptly named sunshine, after whom this blog is named. After she was born and before eventually returning to a traditional corporate schedule, I was a stay-at-home mom for 3 years. In that time, I figured out pretty quickly that was where I loved to be. Home & front and center in her childhood.
The little free time I had as a working parent was always most enjoyed when spent creating. My most notable craft is cake decorating; however, I have long had an equitable love for cooking and writing.
For just over 6 years I’ve dreamt of two things creatively: running a cake studio and a blog. The idea of spending my days creating cake art and cataloging the ways I live presently in my daughter’s life (and my own!) to share with others makes my soul smile big. This blog is the foundation of that.
My purpose here is to tell you an unscripted story of truth in moments both beautiful and mundane. Pull up for my favorite recipes, commentary on motherhood, craft ideas, or my experience running a small business at home.
Take what you need and leave the rest…
Xoxo,
