Finally! This is it! We're re-opening!!
My husband and I are all settled into our new house in Charlottesville, VA and have been loving spending time with baby Oliver. I've officially completed all of the steps to licence our home kitchen for commercial baking, so I'm excited to announce that it's time for me to start taking orders again!
Our opening day is Monday, June 17th, so now is the time to contact me about custom cookies for your events! I'll only be accepting a few orders each week so that I can balance baby time with cookie time, so be sure to place your orders early!
In the next several weeks, keep an eye out for website updates as well as a new price sheet for custom cookies.
Thank you all so much for your patience and understanding while we moved and while I took my maternity leave. I'm looking forward to getting back into the kitchen and baking!

Move Update Part 3
I think it's about time for another move update! The house progress is coming along very quickly. Our settlement date is Jan 31, which is about a month ahead of schedule! Go Ryan Homes!
We still have our temporary apartment for a couple more months, so we'll take advantage of that time to paint / put up molding / etc before we move our furniture into the house. Our official move in date is Feb 9, hopefully plenty of time before our baby arrives!
Here's our kitchen in the first week of January after the cabinets were installed:
And the progress as of a few days ago (sorry for the dark picture):
The kitchen countertops are in, electric and plumbing are done, appliances are starting to be installed, and there's hardwood floors hiding underneath that cardboard! I'm picturing some cookie sheet storage in those big cabinets above the microwave just like Lizy B Bakes showed here!
Last but not least, here's a sneak peak into the future "cookie kitchen." These are the double french doors in the basement that will someday lead to a commercial kitchen. The white plastic will be staying up on the doors until this no longer looks like an ugly storage area :)
So, when will I be open for business again? Most of February will be spent moving in and getting things ready before baby arrives. After baby S does make his appearance, I think we'll just have to wait and see how things go. I'm hoping that May/June 2013 I'll be ready to start taking a limited number of orders, but I will keep you posted!

Move Update Part 2
In my last move update I told you that we had picked out a home site near Charlottesville, VA where we were planning to build a house. I'm happy to report that we've made A LOT of progress since then!
Construction started a few weeks ago, and things are moving very quickly. This picture was taken November 18th after the foundation was poured:
And then my husband and I went to visit the site last Saturday and this is what we saw!
The very next day the framing was complete! By the end of this week we should have a roof and siding. I can't believe how quickly everything is moving. I guess it helps that the weather has been beautiful here in Charlottesville. Hopefully that continues!
The builder is now estimating that we'll be in the house in mid to late January - ahead of schedule!
It looks like Jaclyn's Cookies will be back and open for business in late Spring 2013! Hopefully in my next update I'll have some pictures of my kitchen to share :)

Move Update
I promised to keep you guys up to date on what's going on with my move and when Jaclyn's Cookies will be back up and running, so here's a quick update for you!
My husband and I have settled into an apartment in Charlottesville, VA and are having a great time exploring the new area. It's much smaller and slower paced than the DC suburb where we moved from, but we're loving it and finding lots of fun things to do and great restaurants to try.
Recently, we made a decision to build a new home in the Charlottesville area, so without further adieu, here is the future site of Jaclyn's Cookies!
As you can see, we still have quite a bit of work to do!
The great news is that the basement will be fully piped for a commercial kitchen which we'll outfit in the future when we have the time and money (that commercial equipment is expensive!). In the meantime, I plan to license the main kitchen in the home for cookie use. Gotta love the cottage law in Virginia :)
The not-so-great news is that the home will be completed in Feb/Mar 2013, so we probably won't be accepting orders until late spring 2013. I know this is a long wait, but in the meantime I'll be working on creating lots of new gift packages and making some changes to the website. Next post, you'll get to see the new Halloween cookies I've been working on!
Thanks for bearing with me during this down time. Hopefully we'll be back and better than ever in 2013!
