Hi Brownie Lover!
My name is Janet O’Leary, HR/Operations Assistant for Fairytale Brownies. I have been employed here since 2002 and I am so happy to be sharing Janet’s Journal with you!
I have many responsibilities in my role in HR with the biggest being the recruiting & hiring of seasonal team members. I enjoy helping people and love to talk, so I think I have the perfect job!
I look forward to sharing my love of brownies with you through my journal and will provide you with many interesting & fun ways you can share brownies with others!
Okay, I will admit I'm getting older but, how many people can
say they have had a best friend
for 50 years? Well, I can! My BFF Maureen, who lives in Ohio
is visiting me for one glorious week! She is leaving the snow &
cold behind for some warmer weather, sunshine, and
quality girl time! Over the past 38 years, we
have traveled to California, Ohio, Georgia, and Arizona to
spend time together and have seen each other through the good,
the bad, and the ugly!
This next week will be filled with...

Brownie batter, baseball chatter, does it really matter? Both
are sweet to my ears... Cactus League Baseball; that's all I'm
saying. For those that know me, know that I am all things baseball,
and a huge fan of the Arizona Diamondbacks! I have been
counting the days since the last game in 2011. I have to
admit, (should I admit??) I watched 160 baseball games last
year! Needless to say, I am excited about spring
training which starts in 6 weeks. I am proud to announce I have my
spring training...

Surprise! I'm going to a surprise birthday party this weekend for a
dear friend and yes, I will bring along
Fairytale
Truffles,
Fairytale
Cookies, and
Fairytale
Brownies! My friend is a huge lover of all things chocolate and
after she received a box of
Fairytale
Truffles from me for Christmas, it was love at
first bite! We both grew up in the same small town in
Ohio where birthdays were a big deal so it only seemed fitting to
give her more of what she loves best on her special day! Of course

A friend of mine won an NFL sweepstakes that included 47 yard
line tickets to the Steeler/Cardinal game last Sunday! Being that
we are both from a small town outside of Pittsburgh, it only made
sense for him to invite me! Growing up in Steeler
Country, we both had a great appreciation for this game and
the ridiculous seats! 18th row directly behind the Steelers
bench! Sweet!!
There are no crazier fans than the Pittsburgh Steelers fans
that's for sure! These people will dress in just...

I recently returned from a trip the Buckeye State where I was born
and raised. I have to give kudos to the Ohio weatherman
for providing perfect weather for my entire 7 day stay! Blue skies,
cool mornings & warm afternoons was something I enjoyed
daily. The scenery was magnificent! A road trip is a must
this time of year; there was was a blanket of robust red,
bright yellow, and burnt orange foliage that embraced every
valley and hillside on my trip. The state of Ohio is breath taking,
to say...

I am planning a trip to Ohio next week to celebrate the
wedding of my nephew Dominic and his fiance, Camie. Holy Toledo,
here I come!!! I am looking forward to a week filled
with family, friends, and cooler temperatures! Growing up in
Ohio and now living in Arizona makes me long for the
beautiful fall foliage of bright yellows, robust reds, and
deep oranges! Oh, the beauty of O-H-I-O! Not to mention
Buckeye football and the best Italian food you can
find...anywhere! Ah, nothing like comfort...
