The postseason started this past week for Major League Baseball, so on Tuesday, my dad and I both left work slightly early to watch the first wild card game together. (Baseball is our favorite sport, and we’re in the process of visiting all 30 MLB stadiums together. We’ve already checked off 22 of them!)
We settled into the comfy leather armchairs in my parents’ family room, our feet propped up on the matching footstools, and followed every pitch and play on their flat screen TV as the station’s broadcasters chattered about various statistics and memorable plays from the regular season in the background.
A few times throughout the game, Dad fielded a phone call from work as his team members dialed to check in about their big presentation later that week, and I’d glance over and smile. I felt so fortunate to be self-employed as a full-time food blogger—it meant I could set my own schedule and take off the entire evening to watch baseball without any business-related phone calls or emails (or guilt!).
And I have YOU to thank for that!
You’ve made this dream job of mine a reality. Just by visiting my website and browsing through my recipes… By admiring my photos and saving them on Pinterest… By making those recipes and giving them to your family and friends… By sharing my website with those people when they ask where you found the recipes… By snapping pictures of your treats and tagging me on Instagram…
Those actions might sound small and insignificant, but they’re exactly what have enabled me to turn Amy’s Healthy Baking into my full-time job. I’m incredibly grateful for you and what you’ve done for me!
