We’re Taking August Off

August 1, 2022 by Joy the Baker 35 Comments

Friends, hello!

Welcome to the weird and wonderful month of August.  Some of you are sending your littles back to school this month and I still think that’s downright criminal.  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.  We should all go outside and find the shadiest, breeziest spot to halfway fall asleep after a pizza picnic.  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.  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

    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.

    I think that this is the most civilized approach to summer. Enjoy every minute of it. Happy August.

    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!

    Enjoy your time off and thanks for reminding us to stop and breathe.
    The world is spinning so fast and life is so busy that we rarely take any time to relax.

    Hi Joy,
    That’s a seriously great idea. I guess you could say life is really so many things to do, achieve, in such a small amount of time. You definitely deserve time to do as much, or as little as you want. Enjoy yourself, Will, Tron, the wind in your hair (or helmet hair, whichever you prefer but I think I know!), time away from all things work related. I will miss your posts but already can’t wait to see what you bring back to the Joy the Baker table. Enjoy.
