Meet Jackie

My name is Jackie, and I am a dessert recipe blogger and stay-at-home mom of three sweet kiddos.

I love Jesus, my husband, our amazing kids, our two cats, my home state of Minnesota, and baking!

Eight years ago, shortly after returning to my corporate job from maternity leave, I found myself conflicted between wanting to stay home to be with my oldest daughter and wanting to work outside of the home.

I loved my career and my coworkers, but realized that my girl would only be little for so long and that I wanted to be around for every little moment. So, I took the leap and left my job to be a full time stay-at-home mom.

Since then, we have welcomed another daughter in 2019 and a son in 2023. I have used my extra time (if there is extra time when caring for three kids) to dive into one of my long time hobbies – baking. Sweet Girl Treats is named after my two daughters, whom I often refer to as ‘sweet girl’.

I have developed Sweet Girl Treats as an avenue to share recipes that I create. I hope you enjoy all of my creative, rich, yet simple desserts! You can also catch me on local Minnesota TV (Fox 9 Good Day & Twin Cities Live) doing live baking demo segments. Click on the links below to watch my segments.
