As many of you know, I am a military spouse. Toward the end of December, we received orders for a new duty station, and we have since relocated to Fort Polk, Louisiana. We are now settled in DeRidder, and while the move took some time, we’re excited to be getting back up and running.

I am currently exploring local markets in the area and look forward to connecting with new customers here. For those I had to leave behind, please remember that you can still shop online anytime at:

Thank you all for your continued support—it truly means so much!
