Think solution…not problem.

It’s so easy for us to get caught up in problems, issues, and situations that we can’t stand. However, for every question there is an answer. For every cause there is an effect. And, for every problem there’s definitely a solution. Eldridge Cleaver said…

Don’t get us wrong. Problems are actually necessary. It’s how we identify that there needs to be a change. However, when our needle gets stuck on talking about those problems with no plans to solve them, then it’s nothing more than complaining.

Solutions not only encourage us to want change, but drive us to be the change we want to see. They even spark creativity and evolution. Solutions also encourage hope, communication, and even create culture.

Do you think that we pups spend time focusing on all of the problems we are faced with each day? Nope. We come up with a solution and keep it moving. That’s why…

These Banana Blueberry Muffin Pupcakes are dedicated to always being a part of the solution.

And of course, we believe that every pupcake has a love story. So, while your favorite pup is PUPPY LOVIN’ on these pupcakes, we’d love to hear from you.
