We’re hoping to refresh and improve our patio into a safer, covered outdoor space for family dinners, rainy evenings, and everyday moments together. While it’s sturdy, it was never fully finished, and we’d love to make it more comfortable and splinter-free for the kids. Adding backyard access will also improve flow for our home business and our dogs. This remodel will happen eventually, and any contribution toward that future means so much to us.

We’re dreaming of a family road trip to visit loved ones in Tennessee, Arkansas, and Florida, places we haven’t all been together (and some we haven’t seen in years). With six of us, plus animal care & time away from work & the bakery, planning a trip like this takes thoughtful preparation. Any contribution toward travel expenses or care for our animals while we’re away would help make this possible. We’re excited about the chance to explore, reconnect, and make new memories as a married family.
