Glancing Back and Looking Forward
Celebrating 5 years of Moments Cookbook.
Tess and I can hardly believe Moments is 5! April 15th (today) marks the anniversary of our passion project Moments Cookbook. Our little Gilmore Girls/Nancy Meyers - esque lifestyle account is quickly approaching 100,000 followers, and it’s surreal to us. This past year has been our best yet, and it speaks to believing that anything is possible, as well as the incredible support we’ve had from all of you.
Since day one, we’ve shifted and pivoted, while gaining insight into what feels the most organic to us - as we also listened to you, our audience. We’ve been so fortunate to have the most affirming feedback, and your patience through our trials-and- (multiple!)-errors. Which in hindsight, were all growth moments for us (some quite laughable!). Today, Moments has a presence on several platforms. Find us here on Substack, and also on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. We believe in the content we’re producing and are beyond excited to have the momentum in our favor.
So What’s The Plan?
To celebrate 5 years of creating content we are passionate about, we’ve brainstormed about our Top 5’s. Top 5 Beauty Items, Capsule Pieces, Favorites Bites and Sips, Kitchen Essentials, Moments, Pantry Essentials, Recipes, and (this one was HARD!) Restaurants. This was such a nostalgic walk down memory lane for Tess and I. But when we say TOP 5, we mean it!

Oh and did we mention, I’m finally going to Paris? Yes friends, this is happening! Moments is taking the show on the road to Europe to celebrate! And we may have a surprise ending. Pinching myself!
So that’s it. We have a plan and we’re sticking to it. We’d love, love, love for you to come along. Until then, keep romanticizing life and dreaming alongside us!
Always, Kim and Tess
