bonding time before Cindy comes back work!...

Say
hello to Andres! He is the newest little "magic morsel" to be
born into the Fairytale
Brownies family! Baking team member, Maria Vega recently gave
birth to a happy, healthy 5.5 pound baby boy! If my math serves me
right, Andres is the 6th baby born into the FTB family this
year and we still have one more coming before year end!
Something in the water? Not sure, but babies are being born almost
monthly around here and we love it!
These babies could be the next generation of Fairytale...

Friday is going to be a bittersweet day
for our family. After four months at a great daycare, we are taking
our daughter out to save some money and get her more individual
attention by sharing a nanny with friends (
Fairytale Brownies graphic designer Erin, who is
returning from maternity leave Monday). While the savings and
2-to-1 baby to caregiver ratio will be great for our daughter Kat,
we have loved the daycare she is attending. I know we've made the
right decision for our family, but it was...

My husband and I are
heading out on our first road trip with our 6.5 month old daughter
on Thursday. We'll be driving at least 7 hours to California to
visit friends for the long weekend, and for us, road trips mean
snacks. Our staples are beef jerky, fruit and, of course, fudgy
chocolate brownies. I've been working here at
Fairytale Brownies for 5
years, so our Belgian chocolate brownies have become a frequent
snack. We especially like to take
Magic Morsels mini brownies on the road with
us, as...

We
seem to be having a bit of a baby boom here at
Fairytale
Brownies. My little girl Katharine is 5 months old, our graphic
designer Erin's son James is 2 weeks old (that's him in the picture
with Eileen's daughter Bebe, who just happened to be here when he
came to visit last week - so cute!), and two members of our baking
and shipping teams are expecting their own bundles of joy before
the year ends.
Of the many things I've learned so far about being a working (and
nursing) mom, it's that...

There must be something in the water because babies are being born
like crazy these days! Babies, babies, everywhere! Babies are
being born at Fairytale Brownies almost monthly, and the first of
three babies to be born into my family this summer was Aiden
Michael, first child to my niece Kristen; a whopping 9 lbs. 8
ounces and 23.5" inches long!
That makes me a Great Aunt, and I couldn't be happier! It takes a
lot of work to give birth to a baby that size so I treated Kristen
and Daddy to some
Be...

Today is my Fairytale-iversary! :)
That's right, I've been on the marketing team at
Fairytale Brownies
developing and selling gourmet brownie gifts for five years now. I
cannot believe how quickly the time has gone. So, this morning I'm
thinking about all that has transpired since I first walked into
the
Fairytale Bakery in 2006. The picture at left is from
a trade show I attended just a couple of months after I
started working here.
When I started, our
current building was under construction,...

We have a guest blogger this week; Holly Pringle, Fairytale
Brownies' Wholesale Team Member!
"I recently had the honor of hosting a baby shower for my
daughter-in-law and son. They are having their first baby and
our first grandbaby! It was a co-ed baby shower since my son and
daughter-in-law live in another state. It also was an opportunity
for them to see friends and family.
Because both men and women would be attending the party, I had
a difficult time coming up with an idea for shower favors....

Before I came back to
Fairytale Brownies
from maternity leave last week, my husband and I took our daughter
"home" to Indiana to meet some friends and family.
One important stop for us was our alma mater,
Ball State University, where we met 10
years ago and got married (our wedding was at Benny, a beloved
campus landmark - pictured at left) four years ago. We wanted to
see the many changes on campus while taking our baby girl on her
first visit to a place that means so much to us.

The giant
purple carpet covering the grounds at Children First Academy of
Tempe on Friday wasn't your average berber.
This carpet was made from 200 purple t-shirt-clad
volunteers that arrived at "O dark 30" to build
a playground.
What an awesome group of volunteers! Together, we moved 175 cubic
yards of wood chips; mixed 8 pallets of cement; built two slides, a
tire swing, bounce buttons, a geodome, a climbing wall, two tether
ball posts, a prehistoric basketball hoop, and two deck landings;
also...
