“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." -Dr. Suess Hello friends! How is your summer going so far? I hope you are enjoying everything these warm, sunny days have to offer. Want to know a secret? Well, okay, it's not much of a secret– I am one of the most introverted, socially awkward people you'll ever meet. You know, the type that when someone asks, "How are you doing?" they overthink the answer and respond, "Thanks." Yeah, that's me. Last October, while getting ready to board the Star War Smuggler's Run ride, the cast member announced to the waiting crowd, "Anyone who is single, stand over here," pointing to a spot near him. Well, I was slightly distracted, and being the newly divorced, single mama that I was, I proceeded to stand where he directed. The cast member looked at me confused and said, "I meant single riders, ma'am." Suddenly realizing my mistake, I sheepishly made my way back to my group of friends, face red, all whilst laughing at myself. You cannot make this up! My sweet friends, always be everything you. Be awkward, funny, and silly. Make it weird! Life is too short to be anything but your truest, most beautiful self. And like Dr. Suess said, "Those who matter, don't mind." XO Rebekah |

Since their pjs are my main uniform when cookie decorating, I was beyond excited for this collaboration!! Check out our reel on their Instagram page here. I'm so grateful for these fun opportunities of doing what I absolutely love with companies I so value and respect. Thank you, PJ Salvage, for your support of my small, home business, and a fun collaboration! | | |
