About me

Gender Female
Location Los Angeles, CA, United States
Introduction I'm a 30-something who loves baking and blogging about it. I find that baking provides me with a therapeutic release and being able to share what I bake brings me great joy! My Mom loved to hear about my baking adventures and after she passed away in May from Lung Cancer I found baking very difficult. Six months later, I have started baking in her memory. ChallahMama is dedicated to my Mom, Alyne Speed who passed away from Lung Cancer. Any money this site generates will be donated to Lung Cancer research and The Wellness Community. Favorite Quote: "Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are. Let me learn from you, love you, bless you before you depart. Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow. Let me hold you while I may, for it may not always be so. One day I shall dig my nails into the earth, or bury my face in the pillow, or stretch myself taut, or raise my hands to the sky and want, more than all the world, your return." ~Mary Jean Iron

You've just inherited a manufacturing plant that specializes in plastics. What are you going to make?

I would make plastic lids for varying sizes for plastic, metal, and ceramic cups and bowls...I say this because I am always losing my lids!
