I started this blog as a creative way to express my passions of cookies, family, friends, contemporary folk music, farmhouses gardening and cottage living. I am a Registered nurse and having worked at Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh ICU for 18 years I wanted a break from that stress and so began my quest to start a "cookie business" Beginning from our home, my husband, my sister & I began the company with chocolate chip cookies baked from scratch on a small Hobart 20 qt mixer. My husband & I raised 2 wonderful daughters who both worked in the business as children. Today we operate from a 2000 sq ft commercial location outside of PIttsburgh PA in Plum Boro. The company, Country Cupboard Cookies is growing and I have been finding myself busier and busier with the daily running a business issues. I found I needed to get back to my creative roots somehow. So here I am. Though I hope to also let people know about my cookie company through this blog, mainly I will write about life surrounding the business...family, friends, my roots from a farmhouse in Scottdale, Pa where I learned to bake, my love of cottages, gardens and COOKIES!!
Never got around to posting this photo taken in January 2009 when we drove to Dallas to help Lori move in to her new apartment. Wow, it's been 4 months already. Sigh, we miss her!
