We’re Taking August Off

Friends, hello!

Welcome to the weird and wonderful month of August.ย  Some of you are sending your littles back to school this month and I still think that’s downright criminal.ย  School is supposed to start the Tuesday after Labor Day and I don’t know why the world changed so cruelly.

We’re talking a break this month! There won’t be any new posts up for the month of August.ย  We should all go outside and find the shadiest, breeziest spot to halfway fall asleep after a pizza picnic.ย  Find a strip of sunlight on the floor and see about laying in it, Tron style.

I haven’t taken a concerted time off of posting in the literal 14+ years of Joy the Baker so this feels both terrifying and liberating. Abby says it’s very European and chic. I’m inclined to believe her.

We’ll all be back at the top of September with plenty of new recipes and autumn inspiration for you.ย  Until then, if you need a birthday cake or my favorite lemon bars, there’s a casual 14 years of recipes for you to dig through.

Have a wonderful and slow month. We’ll see you on the other side!

xo Joy and the team

  1. I’m late to the game here, but ENJOY ENJOY ENJOY your time off! A Tron style nap in the sun is always a gamechanger.
    My little is starting 4K this year, and I’m so in denial that he’s already this old!

  2. Enjoy your Summer break! The idea of relaxing days during late Summer in a park sounds like a perfect European getaway. Tron and most cats have the right idea of sun/shade relaxing. I’m taking the month to feel inspired to do craft projects, sip cocktails, and take after dinner strolls.

  3. Read some good books and enjoy slowing down. We’ll be here when you return.
    I just started The Measure by Nikki Erlick and it’s very interesting.

  4. It is very European. I’ve worked for a global corporation for over a decade, and it’s one of the cultural norms I so desperately wish our American sites would adopt from them! Enjoy!
