Coconut Curry Chicken Soup

January 08, 2019 by Tara Haack in soups, life

Oh my gosh. We are HOME!! Like actually home, in our own house, sitting on our couch with our boys ever so closely snuggled by our side, the fire place is lit, I’ve got a mug of tea just a hand grab away, and the Christmas Tree is still doing its charming thang. It feels so right.

May 2019 Be The BEST Year Yet

January 04, 2019 by Tara Haack in business, life

If you follow along on Instagram (@ryliecakesgf), you know I made a promise to share more about my 2019 goals, plans, dreams, and resolutions as soon as I was able to put my doodles and chicken scratch into real words that humans could read.  So here I am, doing just that.

2018 was a very trying year for me.  For the first time in my life I didn’t have the opportunity to define myself by my accomplishments.  The 30 years leading up to 2018 I most definitely defined myself by the things I did: Valedictorian, Senior Class President, graduated Magna Cum Laude, opened my own bakery at 24, Founder, Owner, Head Pastry Chef… I always had something up my sleeve because up until I closed the bakery, I went non-stop, 24/7 to be the best I could be for everyone else.

In 2018, I had no job, no income, and no title.  I had no way to define myself and for the first time in my life, I felt extremely lost.  What was I meant to do with my life?  Who was I meant to be?  What did I love to do?  What did I want to do with my spare time?  What was I doing to fit into society’s view of me?  What was I doing to please others around me?  What brought me joy?  What stressed me out?  The questions lingered throughout the year and I spent countless hours - really, the entire freaking year - trying to figure them out.

Who was the real Tara Rylie?
