Yet again -- small world, Breanne! The owner of Brown Bear Bakery, Blair, is the sister of Brooke, one of my homeschool-mom friends in middle Tennessee. She talks about her sister’s bake shop with love and pride. I simply loved this line, btw: “They’re checking the clock, ready to bolt like Kentucky Derby stallions...” It’s an image I know well. 🐎😄
Breanne, what a lovely essay!! On Saturday morning, from now on, I will picture your family's trek to the city! I know the kids look forward to that so much!!! Find one near us , and we'll go wherever you get here! Love you ❤️ 😍
1. I’ve always loved when you talk about your beloved coffee shop! I’m always looking for the perfect local coffee shop.
2. Dog of the Day sounds like such a fun game!! I already take a photo and shout whatever kind of dog it is, so might as well make a game of it 😅 since moving to Europe though I will admit to being stumped a lot of the time as to what breed it is (maybe there’s a lot of mutts too?). And I grew up watching dog shows and memorizing encyclopedias of dog breeds so sometimes it’s frustrating.
I can relate to driving somewhere (not 42 minutes, though, just 10) just for the pastries, but it not only being about the pastries! You painted a beautiful picture of your Saturday ritual - I'll be thinking about it this Saturday as I wait in line for the best pastries in my town ;)
This is a beautiful piece, Breanne. Thank you for opening your life and sharing this weekend ritual with us. I know this will add layers and layers to your experience and memories of your family. If we ever get to visit your bookstore, maybe we stop for pastries too?

So beautiful, Breanne. I would love to tag along with you.
What beautiful memories you are creating for your family. I'm ready to drive to Ohio but downtown OKC will have to do ♥️
You had me at poetry, then absolutely sealed the deal with pastries. Love your pastry ritual and the joy it brings to you and your fam 💛
