My Story
Hi there!
My name is Pam, and I’ve been rooted in southern Alberta my entire life. Here, I raised four strong, independent daughters, and now I get to watch them raise children of their own.
​
My whole being is based on family and helping others. I love surrounding myself with the people I care about and spending time with them. I often fondly look back on my own girls growing up, and I know that the warm kitchen and the time we spent there created some of the best memories. My girls and I loved baking together—whether we were preparing for the holidays, making Valentine’s cookies for the classroom, or putting together treats for a bake sale at the dance studio. It’s a tradition I continue with my grandchildren, who always ask to bake with Grandma.
​
Over the years, I’ve had many rewarding careers—from being a therapeutic foster parent to running a restaurant, and everything in between. Each life
experience has shaped me into the person I am today. For as long as I can remember, I’ve dreamed of owning my own business, one that reflects who I am and what I value. I thought that dream might never happen when my health took an unexpected turn a few years ago. I was diagnosed with a pancreatic tumour, and after major surgeries and a long recovery, I wasn’t sure what the future would hold. But with the amazing support of my doctors and the constant love of my family every step of the way, I decided to leap—to live my dream and make it real.
​
I wanted my business to be about family, great memories, and most importantly, helping others: the kids who want to dance, the swimmer chasing a spot in the finals, the organizations giving back to their communities—the list goes on. I desired to keep it simple and full of love.
This business is affectionately named after the nickname my grandmother gave me. She has been one of the greatest influences in my life, and this idea grew from that inspiration.

I hope you enjoy everything we have to offer and that you can take a little of the love my family has shared and bring it into your own home.
