Q.) What is your favorite time of year? Why?

A.) I love the transition from spring to summer, and also the transition from summer to fall. It's not too hot or too cold, it makes you want to just get out and drive with your windows down, grill with your family, or just sit outside and be.

Q.) Let's say you're a new addition to the crayon box, what color would you be? Why?

A.) Yellow is my favorite color so I think I will go with that. It represents joy for me. My mom always says to be the light and of course the color of all lights and things that are bright, is yellow. It also reminds me of my Cole Bates. He was living, breathing sunshine.

A.) I love that I have a visual of my hard work. I love being able to see the gift God has given and the joy it brings to others, one sweet bite at a time.

Q.) Do you have a nickname?

A.) To my peers I do not, but if you ask my favorite people in the world, you would know me as KK or Auntie KK. My little cousins Makaela, Briley, and Slate Dodson are more like my siblings or even my own kids. Including my little brother Oaklyn Dodson and my nephews Haze and Luka Reynolds. Being their KK is my favorite title, before I am anything else, I will always be theirs.

Q.) Is there any life advice you could give to our readers?

A.) Pray about it. I'm in a season of life that I only ever dreamed of being in. My entire family is proof that prayer works. Matthew 19:26 reads "With God all things are possible." No matter where you are in life, or if you feel you have no one in the world that cares or is there for you, my God does and He never leaves.
