My child was a big, big fan of macarons. Who isn’t?

This past Saturday, I teamed up with local designer Megan Birkel of Willow Crowns and blogger Veronika Romeis of Veronika’s Blushing for a cuteheads Spring collection reveal and trunk show at local macaron boutique MACARON by Patisse. If you plan a lot of events like I do, then you know two things: 1) they are a LOT of work, and 2) you should keep your expectations pretty low then surprise yourself 😉 To say we were surprised by the turnout would be an understatement; we couldn’t believe how many people stopped by and said hello. It was a pretty special day.

I finally got to meet Stephanie of Newlyweds: North, who works with Megan and actually lives in Maine. She flew in just for the occasion and we’re SO glad she did! Veronika was the consummate hostess, and she even convinced me that I had to try the Earl Gray flavor macaron, which is now one of my favorites.

The owner of MACARON by Patisse, Sukaina, welcomed us with open arms and made us feel right at home all day. She’s not only kind, but a true business power house, with two locations and… surprise… another on the way! Watching other female business owners grow their businesses in the city we all love gives me a lot of pride.

I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that my sweet husband Doug brought my daughter Naomi by to sample her first macaron. I can promise you, she loved every bite. And there were a LOT of bites. She ran around the shop — obviously high on sugar — demanding more “snack.” My kid’s an eater, what can I say.
