About

Hi there! I’m so excited you have found my page. My greatest passion has always been baking and crafting recipes that add a little extra magic to any celebration. Whether you’re planning a birthday party, hosting a holiday gathering, or simply craving a sweet treat, you will find deliciously easy recipes on Celebrating Simply.  

Celebrating Simply

I’ve always been drawn to the warmth of the kitchen, experimenting with flavors and techniques to see what sparks joy at the table.

As my enthusiasm for cooking grew, I discovered the excitement of sharing those recipes with friends and family, which eventually led me to launch Celebrating Simply.

Now, I spend my days dreaming up festive ideas and easy-to-follow instructions so you can have fun creating memorable treats for your loved ones.

How I Started Blogging

Before I dove into blogging, I spent 15 years in the banking world and earned a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration. I eventually felt a calling to teach, so I returned to school for a Master’s in Secondary Education.

For seven years, I taught subjects including business, marketing, yearbook, video journalism, and even culinary arts, which was one of my favorite ways to share my love of cooking with students. Those experiences reinforced how much I love helping people find confidence in the kitchen.

Once I realized how fulfilling it was to bring people together through food, I began focusing my energy on recipe creation, food photography, and blogging. Baking became a joyful outlet, allowing me to test new ideas that you can recreate at home for your next celebration. There’s something so special about seeing a table filled with delicious treats and happy faces, and it’s that sense of togetherness I hope to inspire here.

Thanks so much for stopping by Celebrating Simply. I can’t wait to see how you bring these recipes to life in your own gatherings, and I’m thrilled to be part of the fun!
