Now as I read how it came to be, I'm inspired! I'm studying to be a social worker and my boyfriend is in fashion but he's wanted to own a restaurant and I love baking and want a cafe. It always seems like outrageously wishful thinking, but hearing your story reminds me that the unexpected can be possible. Best wishes to you moving forward!

I'm going to place an order for Michelle and my mother-in-law, who are feisty critics. I'm sure they'll love them. We had a little girl a month ago, by the way: Lindsey Bryn, 7 lbs, 4 oz! Hope you guys are great. Cheers! Rich Congrats, guys…looks like things are going really well with Amai! I’m going to place an order for Michelle and my mother-in-law, who are feisty critics.

I think we all worship our mixers, for without it baking wouldn't be as much fun. I love the tall, proud Kitchen Aid on the masthead.
