About Me

Welcome to Whimsical Whisking! I’m Joy, and I’m so glad you’re here.

I believe that cooking should be fun, stress-free, and bring people together. Whether you’re looking for time-saving kitchen hacks, meal planning tips, or just a way to make dinner less overwhelming, I’m here to help!

But before we dive into all things cooking, let me share a little bit about myself.

Who Am I?

I’m a mom, military wife, Disney lover, world traveler, and a total foodie. My journey with cooking and Pampered Chef is deeply personal, and I want to share how I got here.

👩‍👧‍👦 Mom to 3 amazing kids: Corey (31), Cody (26), and Ella (19). My kids are my world! 🐶 Grand-furbaby lover: Corey and his wife have Marvin, Cody and his girlfriend have Pickles, and Ella lives at home with Stormy. Yes, I fully embrace my dog-Baba title!
🎓 Former homeschool mom: I homeschooled Ella all the way through graduation in 2023! Now, she’s off to college and starting her next adventure. 👨‍✈️ Military wife: My husband retired from the Army National Guard after 23 years of active duty. Supporting him through that journey has been one of my proudest roles. ✈️ Traveler at heart: Exploring new places feeds my gypsy soul, whether it's a road trip, an international adventure, or a Disney vacation (because I LOVE Disney!). 🍽️ Food is my love language: Cooking for my family and friends brings me so much joy. There’s nothing better than gathering around the table with the people you love.

How I Found Pampered Chef (Or Maybe How It Found Me)

I’ve been a Pampered Chef fan for over 30 years, but my journey as a consultant began in June 2022.

Life had thrown me some major challenges. In 2020, I lost my little brother, and in 2021, I had a serious fall that broke both bones in my dominant arm. I needed surgery, and my six-month recovery was one of the hardest things I’ve ever been through. For someone fiercely independent, suddenly needing help with basic tasks was devastating.

Then, just weeks after my accident, my dad passed away. Grief hit me like a wave, and between that and feeling physically useless, I struggled to find my way back.

Then, Pampered Chef entered my life. It was an opportunity that gave me purpose, joy, and a reason to get up every day. It wasn’t just about cooking—it was about rebuilding my confidence, finding a supportive community, and rediscovering my passion.

Grief is still part of my journey, and I suspect it always will be. But thanks to this business, I’ve learned to live with it, rather than be consumed by it. And now, I get to help others find joy in their kitchens, just like I did.
