The Boss Lady, looking so adorably happy on Sept. 10th, 2014
Since before I started, Barrie has provided every staff member with a custom homemade baked good on his/her birthday. Tailored to our respective dietary needs and taste preferences, it's not unlikely to see avacados, almond flour, and applesauce among ingredients of these one-of-a-kind treats.
Clockwise from top left: Tess, Shea, Amory, Will, Barrie - who we showered with her favorite Pip's Donuts this year - and me
Birthdays are obviously special on their own, but Barrie's baking tradition makes betsy & iya birthdays extra sweet (literally). Not only does her treat make the birthday guy/gal feel extra special, it also turns it into a day we all look forward to celebrating. Thank you, Barrie! <3
The dogs don't get a sweet treat because duh, but I couldn't resist a picture of Maurice on his "re-birthday" last year (the anniversary of his adoption).
We love sharing these birthday moments with our people; just don't ask us to share any of the treats, ok? ;-)
May all your birthdays include a cake,
Anna
