More contractors........

Met with another contractor today and have another meeting set up for Saturday morning. We are hoping to meet with at least 5 companies to make sure we have plenty of options. Things are progressing. We should have 2 bids by next week so the wait is on. I hope they are reasonable bids. I have many orders to fill for this weekend and one for tomorrow so I am cutting this short. Enjoy the pictures of the cookies that my goddaughter and I baked on Monday. I will post more pics when my next batch of cupcakes come out of the oven.

Contractor week is here!

Contractor week is here. We met with one set of contractors today and they were cool. We have a meeting tomorrow morning and another one set for Saturday sometime. I have Mo working on getting another name too. Hopefully, someone will come in at a price that we can afford. We enphasizes that we are looking to get this shop off of the ground with the least amount of $$$$. We can get fancy with location # 2 (again, I am Thinking Big- thanks Ben Carson). I so wish money grew on trees or that I played the lottery. I am so close to Harmony that I can taste it.

I also met with a wonderful lady at the Cincy Urban League. She gave me a lot of valuable pointers about getting Harmony up and running. I love that there are so many FREE resources out there for entrepreneurs.

Onto Harmony business. The buzz is continuing to grow. I have 2 more orders for this weekend from people that I do not know. I love the Internet. People are actually finding us through Google. My friends are also doing a fabulous job of spreading the work, Thanks Eb!

Well, I am out for now. I will better about posting, it has just been really crazy and last night I got home too late to even think about writing.

Peace, love and SOUL.......

Kids Kreations

I could not help but share the cupcakes that my kids decorated on Saturday. I only wish that my location was going to be big enough to host decorating parties. Perhaps location # 2! (yes I am dreaming and THINKING BIG)

The ones up top are Amari's (age 7) and the ones on the bottom are Nalah-B's (age 6)

New product development

Here are pics of the Chocolate covered pretzel and the nameless M&M. The chocolate covered pretzel was pretty but really a bust b/c the pretzel lost its crunch, like I expected. I love chocolate covered pretzels so I am going to have to do more work on this one. The whole sweet and salty concept is a big winner. I have a few others up my sleeves too, so check back often. I will also be unveiling my holiday limited edition varieties in the next week or so............

It's just another Manic Monday!

Good-day Fans of Harmony!

I am back and feeling better. I had to take a day and a half of rest. I think between the baking and catching Z-man's cold, I was pretty much out for the count after 2pm of Saturday. I am kinda mad b/c I missed our neighbor's annual harvest costume party. I had planned on surprising her with some Apple Cobbler cupcakes but instead I was dead to the word. Chaka and the boyz went and had a good time. I hope my neighbors don't think that I am too anti-social (even though I kinda am). I just really cherish our weekends and family time.

Nalah-B and I had a girls afternoon out yesterday. We went to see the Children's Theater production of High School Musical at the Taft Theater with her gymnastics buddy and her family. The girls had a blast. They knew every word to every song and danced and sang in the aisles throughout the entire play. They were TOO cute. Afterwards they waited outside the stage entrance and got several of the casts autographs. It was really a night to remember.

Today, I am pretty much chillin' and hanging out with my goddaughter who is on fall break. Who ever heard of a fall break that lasted a week and a day. I could understand in we still had to harvest our crops in the fall but a full week off wreaks havoc on a mom's schedule. We have done a few arts and crafts, played with play-dough and next we are going to bake some cookies for her to take home.

As for Harmony business, Chaka is helping me out today by taking care of all of our phone calls. I should have more new to share by the end of the week.

Life is good b/c I am still following my bliss.

Today, bring some Harmony into your life!

Peace.

Competely exhausted!

I guess I am truly getting a taste of what is to come. I am like a zombie walking today. I was up last night baking until midnight and then up again at 5AM to finish off my orders. I even had time to do some creative product development this AM. After my orders where completed I worked on creating a chocolate covered pretzel variety and a variety that I am not sure what to name. It is a chocolate cupcake with chocolate butter cream dipped in mini- M&M's. Maybe we can call it chocolate covered rainbow? I will post pictures later. Well, I am off to do my Saturday chores, deliver cupcakes, spend some quality time with the family and attend a neighbor's costume party. I hope to get a nap in at some point.

Have a happy Saturday!

Akers Angels was a HUGE success!

I am pretty tired from all the baking and I have more to do tonight, so I will just entertain you with pictures of this evenings Akers Angels event. The cupcakes were a huge hit with the young and old. Harmony's doors can not open fast enough....................................

Over 310+ people came out to support the Akers family. I am sure that a great deal of money was raised. Visit www.akersangels.com to find out how you can help this deserving family.

Until tomorrow, Peace.
