Introduction Post
Hello, my name is Jasmine, and I live in Fairbanks. I was born and raised in Fairbanks with my three older siblings, two brothers and a sister. I did spend a year outside of Fairbanks in Fort Drum with my ex-husband when he was stationed there. When I was a kid, I loved to bake and cook with my mom, and I pictured myself doing something that involved food when I got older. Holidays and birthdays were and still are my favorite time of year because it means I can do a ton of baking for other people and have a super good reason to do so. It also means I get to try out a bunch of new recipes and make some interesting new stuff. I tend to find a lot of fun new ideas on the So Yummy channel on YouTube. One of the more recent recipes I have found is about making a bunch of smaller different flavor cakes from a large sheet cake, which I find to be helpful because not everyone tends to like the same flavors. In October of 2018, I had my first child. I had a little boy, and his name is Marcel but I call him Tre. He makes my life crazy and I always feel like I'm gong a hundred different directions, but I wouldn't have it any other way because he makes my life so much more fun and fantastic. After having Tre I decided to go back to school to finish my bachelor's degree. After I finish my bachelor's I want to start working towards opening my own bakery, but that is still a little while off for now and will probably happen in the lower 48.
Music has always been a big part of my life and still is. I started singing in choir in the third grade and I continued to do it till I graduated from High school. I also started playing the flute in the third grade and I kept up with that until High School but then I stopped playing. I would attend concerts with my friend when we could find the time to do so. Now I just listen to music whenever I get the chance and lately at work I have had a lot of opportunities to do that. I will listen to just about anything but it really depends on what I'm doing or what mood I'm in. For example when I'm driving to work in the morning I tend to listen to up beat music I can sing along to to get my ready for the day or if I have to be out cleaning rooms with my staff I listen to good up beat music to keep going and motivated to keep going. I almost always have music playing when I'm doing homework because it keeps me focused on finishing my assignments and I normally just have my thumps up playlist from Pandora playing. Now that my son is really starting to talk I love to watch Disney movies with him because he will try to sing along with me to all the songs and I love it so much! My favorite part about Disney movies is all the singing and sing along to the songs.

ReplyDeleteMy husband and I owned a seasonal restaurant for 21 years - Zorba on the Run. Hard work, but certainly worth it financially. We sold it to another family and they are doing well. I am always grateful that we didn't run it year round. That would be too exhausting.
ReplyDeleteIt's so cool how you knew as a kid you loved baking and now that you are older it is still something you are trying to work towards. I see that it is something that you are passionate about and I wish you the very best!
