SIDE QUESTS
The things I do when I have an idea and apparently no adult supervision.
SO… WHAT’S A SIDE QUEST?
Sometimes you start with a little idea.
Wouldn't it be fun if…?
And then suddenly you're planning an event, building a whole experience, gathering people together, or creating something that has absolutely nothing to do with cupcakes.
Those are my Side Quests.
They're the things I create because they matter to me—or because they sound like way too much fun not to try. Some are annual traditions. Some come back when the timing is right. Some are brand new ideas that are still figuring out what they want to become.
They're not necessarily products. They're not necessarily businesses. They're just things worth doing.
A little community. A little creativity. A little chaos.
And, occasionally, a really good excuse to get people together.
Welcome to my Side Quests.
CURRENT SIDE QUESTS
Shopping. Shenanigans. Supporting small business.
A yearly celebration of women supporting women. This curated market brings together local, women-owned small businesses for a weekend of shopping, shenanigans, and showing some financial love to the people building businesses in our community. Now with a community baking contest—and always looking for new ways to make the tradition even better.
No plans. No responsibilities. No one needs anything from you.
A weekend sleepover for busy women who are ready to check out of real life for a little while. Come be taken care of with full meals, dance parties, ridiculous amounts of laughter, and the kind of connection that doesn’t come with an agenda. No expectations. No productivity. No pretending you have your shit together. Just a few days to unplug, breathe, play, and remember what it feels like to simply be.
Stay. You matter more than you know.
A grassroots community project built on one simple idea: you matter. We leave sticky notes filled with encouragement, kindness, reminders, and words of support for complete strangers to find when they need them. No agenda. No expectation. Just one human reaching out to another, hoping to make their day a little lighter—and maybe remind them that they are not alone. Sometimes a few words from someone you’ve never met are enough to make you stop, smile, and keep going.
