“more than a state of being, 'cheerful' is also defined as, 'causing happiness by its nature or appearance”

and my weekly pre order of TLC FARE!
welcome friends,
i’m aimee — a human who believes deeply in the power of nourishment, sound and shared moments. everything i create comes from a place of genuine care and a desire to help people feel more connected — to themselves, to one another and to the present moment.
my work weaves together food, music, and thoughtfully held spaces to support wellbeing in simple, heart felt ways.
i design gatherings that invite people to slow down, soften and arrive as they are. sometimes that happens around a table, sometimes through listening, sometimes through movement and often in the quiet spaces in between.
my roots are in the music world, where i learned that when people are nourished — in body, mind, and heart — something subtle yet powerful unfolds. over time, that instinct to nurture grew into a deeper devotion to wellness, presence, and self-care, TLC style.
at the core of everything i do is a simple intention: to create environments where people feel safe to arrive fully, reconnect with themselves and experience the quiet magic of being human together, that’s the heart of everything i offer.
love,
aimee

“The Little Cheerful: A Magical Sunday Afternoon
Nestled amidst the enchanting woods, The Little Cheerful transformed an ordinary Sunday afternoon into an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the warm hospitality of Aimee and Andrew, the proprietors of this charming venue. Their genuine smiles and welcoming demeanor set the tone for a day filled with music, laughter, and camaraderie.
The highlight of the afternoon was undoubtedly the captivating performance by Songs from the Road Band. Their soulful melodies and harmonious vocals resonated through the woods, creating an atmosphere of pure enchantment. The band's passion for music was evident in every note, and their energy was infectious, drawing the audience into their musical journey.
We savored a delightful brunch prepared by Aimee's culinary expertise. The locally sourced ingredients, mindfully curated and prepared with love, were a symphony of flavors that tantalized our taste buds. Each bite was a testament to Aimee's dedication to providing her guests with an exceptional dining experience.
The Little Cheerful's Into The Woods music series is more than just a concert; it's an opportunity to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and immerse yourself in the beauty of nature, while enjoying the soulful sounds of talented musicians. With its intimate setting, family-friendly atmosphere, and delectable cuisine, The Little Cheerful offers a unique and unforgettable experience that will leave you with cherished memories.”
