What's Up with Summer ? - Part 1

If you have noticed, I have not been putting a lot of summer classes up this year. It's not because I don't want to teach, trust me .... I do! But I have been working on 2 AMAZING projects that I need to share with you to understand.

For the past years, I have been doing A LOT of pop up events at different locations to see which one fits the best. I have had a lot of amazing experiences and met a lot of great friends. As I teach and grow, there are things I have realized. And if I want a successful business, I cannot short change certain things. For me to create an amazing class with amazing results, I need a kitchen, even for my littlest friends.

Project 1 (in no particular order)

Village Play

The first time I walked in Village Play, I felt different. Almost like I was home. I love working with the owner and her kiddos became some of my favorite people too. So, when Village Play announced their new location it didn't take long for us to realize we needed a good plan.

As Village Play sets up their new location at

7901 Seneca St, East Aurora, NY

I will be assisting in designing the layout of our first ever UpBeet Cooking kitchen location. A place I can call home and spread my wings.

Tentative start of August 2026
