This is a product inspired by love.
A love of love and a love of munchies
I remember a barrel of party mix serendipitously placed between us on that morning after we randomly met. I was the awkward girl, him, the smitten boy ...and of course I had no idea. Not knowing what to say, I dipped into the barrel which spurred conversation about me hating on all the pretzels that I soon discovered he actually liked. We found that the pieces I wasn't quite fond of, he enjoyed and vice versa.
Fast forward to now, as silly of an exchange as that all seemed, I find it to be a funny analogy to our relationship. Him and I are those pieces. We're incredibly different and unique individuals, but when brought together, we complement one another to make a whole...then its a real party ;)
I’m excited to share my ever-growing collection of specially curated, hand selected, handcrafted mixes, all designed and made with pure (puppy)love.
snack x smitten
He introduced me to the snack, "Puppy chow," after I moved down to North Carolina. It's absurdly addictive; to such an extent that I found myself running to the store constantly to get my fix. I soon came to find the options were always so limited, yet I craved different flavors. I wanted something different. I began coming up interesting, sometimes weird combinations, so I set out to create my own. From there, it needed a name and I wanted it to encompass both the snack and my memories of my DK being summertime smitten. Then it hit me, “Puppylove.” Synonym for smitten and the first half of the snack. It clicked. It was perfect. It was Puppylove. (and actual puppies make us squeal like little girls till it hurts)
At first what seemed
like such an insignificant thing
became symbolic of a kind of love
I have forever been imagining.
Parts of us when together make a whole
made me realize that perhaps
I have found the other half of my soul.
Fast forward one year
to August of summer sixteen
when the memories in between
felt like it was all just a dream
When the ticking of time
vanished before our eyes
When we came to meet
that final moment of goodbye
Once merely a thought in 2015 of July...
And so here we were.
We hugged.
I cried.
But before he deployed
to the Middle East
he looked me in the eyes and said,
“Promise me...”
You'll make something of yourself
then not only I,
but you will be happy.
This is my attempt
to make his wish an actuality
because I love this soldier
who provides so much for our little family
So when he comes home
he can be proud of me
Because he is my rock,
the only lock to my key,
Together we will unlock
the path to our perfect reality,
Together we will grow
as if there was no gravity,
And then forever
and ever
Live happily.
