A Thing Or Two We’re Doing Besides Bringing Saturday Energy To Monday

Nov 9

If you didn’t celebrate this weekend's tremendous news with pastries, well, it's not too late—and you're going to want to after listening to our podcast ep. We’re talking with Lani Halliday, baker extraordinaire, about making sweet treats for people of all dietary walks, navigating support for Black-owned businesses, and opening a physical location during the pandemic. It keeps the mood up, tell you what. Also! We’re planning for our gift-guide episodes, built around your special requests, so if you have anyone you want us to shop for, tell us about it via voicemail at 833-632-5463 or DM at @athingortwohq or, heck, just WB to this email.
