Wellllll… this week is looking a little different around here! 😂
We’re down a person, so James—the pie guy—has headed back out on the road, which means I’m pulling double duty right now: cooking AND manning the front!
Now, I’m pretty good at a lot of things, but I still haven’t figured out how to be in two places at once. Lord knows I’ve tried!
Thankfully, some of our other ladies have jumped in to help with kitchen duties, so we’re adjusting, figuring out our rhythm and making it work — just like small-town folks do. (Huge shout out to our crew, y’all are amazing!)
So if you come in and I’m in the kitchen when you walk through the door, or you call and I have to holler, “Hang on just a minute!” while I run to jot down your order, just give me a little grace.
We’ve got it handled… it just might look a little more like organized chaos than usual!
And honestly, I kind of love that y’all get to see the real side of running a small business. Sometimes you just have to roll with it, laugh a little, pray a little, and keep those wheels turning!
BUT… in the middle of all that, today is a VERY special day.
TODAY MARKS 3 YEARS SINCE I BECAME THE OWNER OF FLYWHEEL PIES!
Flywheel Pies was already here. It had history, customers, recipes, and decades of memories long before my name was attached to it.
Three years ago, my family and I simply took a chance and stepped into the driver’s seat. And these past three years have been about learning, changing, growing, protecting what makes Flywheel Pies special, and putting my own heart into the business while honoring what came before me.
And y’all…What a ride it has been.
There have been long days, plenty of laughter, a few “Lord, help me” moments, A WHOLE LOT of fried pies, and more blessings than I could have imagined when we made that decision three years ago.
But one of the greatest blessings has been YOU.
Every pie you buy.
Every order you place.
Every friend you send our way.
Every share.
Every kind word.
Every time you walk through our doors.
It all matters.
You have helped keep this little piece of Arkansas history going, and I am so incredibly grateful that you’ve allowed me to be a part of it.
So today, we’re celebrating three years of ownership — three years of being blessed with the opportunity to carry Flywheel Pies forward even though the wheels may wobble every now and then… 😂
Every pie is still hand-crimped. Our fillings are still made fresh every single day, and there’s still a whole lot of love that goes into every single pie that leaves this kitchen.
Three years down!
Thank y’all for trusting us, supporting us, and continuing to make Flywheel Pies part of your lives.
I truly am grateful beyond words!
