Collinsville, let’s show up for one of our own.
We saw this post from Heather B’s Sweets and it hit home hard.
Every small business has seasons where the phones slow down, the door doesn’t swing open as much, and you start doing that scary owner math in your head. We know that feeling. A lot of small business owners do. Most just don’t say it out loud.
These ladies did.
So we’re saying this from one small business family to another: we see you, we respect the grind, and we want our community to help keep your ovens hot and your lights on.
We’ve heard nothing but awesome things about Heather B’s Sweets here in Collinsville, and as Collinsville residents ourselves, we plan on trying them out. Birthdays, office parties, anniversaries, retirements, school stuff, church events, family gatherings, “just because I need something sweet before I lose my mind” days… skip the big-box bakery counter and give a local shop a shot.
There is a huge difference between mass-produced and owner-operated. When you buy from a small business, you’re not just buying cake, cookies, burgers, root beer, shirts, signs, flowers, repairs, coffee, whatever it may be. You’re helping real people keep chasing it. You’re helping families. You’re helping employees. You’re helping a dream survive another week.
And shares matter too. Seriously. A share costs nothing, but to a small business it can be the difference between a slow day and a saved day.
So please go show Heather B’s Sweets some love. Like their page, share their post, order something, tell a friend, tag somebody with a birthday coming up.
And if you own a small business around Collinsville, or know one that could use some love right now, drop them in the comments. We’d love to support as many as we can.
Small businesses don’t need pity.
They need people to remember they exist before they’re gone.
Let’s take care of our neighbors. ❤️

I’m gonna say the thing most small business owners are too scared to say out loud.
It’s slow right now. Like, watch-the-door-and-do-the-math slow.
Summer hits a little bakery different. Everybody’s being good, on vacation, firing up the grill instead of cutting a cake. I get it. I really do.
But here’s what I keep coming back to. Somebody in Collinsville has a birthday this week. Somebody’s got an office thing, a retirement, an anniversary, a “we made it another year” that deserves more than a grocery store sheet cake. And every single one of those still needs cake.
I’m not a franchise. There’s no corporate office sliding me a check when the room goes quiet. It’s just me and the these young ladies standing right beside me, hoping that door swings open so we can do what we love, which is spoiling this town rotten.
So here’s my ask, and it’s a small one. Share this post. Send it to the friend who’s got a birthday coming, the coworker planning the office party, the neighbor who always says we should support local. A share costs you nothing and it might be the thing that keeps our lights on.
