My name is Michele Boudreaux and this is my blog. I am a mother, a graphic designer and a baker. I graduated from Penn State University in 1997 with a BA in Graphic Design. And that’s how I made my living until I became a full-time mother. I have three sons: my first son was born in 2007, my second in 2011, and my third son was born in 2014.
In 2010, in hopes of combining my love for design and packaging with confections, I put my lifelong love for baking to work and went back to school. In November of 2011, I graduated with a pastry degree from ICE.
I live in Maryland, right outside of Washington, D.C. with my husband, three sons, two cats and a rescue dog. I balance my family commitments with an active freelance career in graphic design and I make elaborate cakes for people. You can see my cakes here. Recent professional accomplishments include designing the logo for The Webby Awards. I’ve also been a featured seller on Etsy. You can visit my online candy shop here.
I truly enjoy writing.
This Web site is over 15 years old. (I KNOW!) It spans my life in New York City; how I met my husband; the birth of my son; the miscarriage of who was to be our second child, and finally, after years worth of infertility, the birth of our second son. Our third son, Walter, came a touch later. He was a bit of a surprise.
I write about New York City, miscarriage and infertility, and loss. I also write often about depression. In 2013, we moved to the dreadful suburbs. I write about that as well.
Lastly: I love animals. All animals. (Yes, even squirrels.)
You can find me on twitter, Instagram and Etsy as well.
