I’ve been in spring break mode lately. You might have noticed since I didn’t bake last weekend. I think it’s because I recently went on a vacation which I haven’t done in a couple of years and it felt awesome to just relax and do nothing. And now being back home I can’t stop enjoying the warmth that’s finally taking over. Spring is probably my favorite time of the year. Unfortunately, in the south, you only have about seven minutes to enjoy the season before the hot and humid heat of summer takes over. Okay, okay – I’m exaggerating a little. It probably lasts eleven minutes. ; ) So you’ve got to enjoy all of them while they last. And I’m trying.
Got Spring Fever, too? Take a break with me and enter this sweet Spring Bake Giveaway for a chance to win a KitchenAid Stand Mixer… in one of the following pastel colors. Plus a white and silver choice in case springy isn’t your speed. Me? I have the pink one, but man, that aqua sky is calling my name. And the ice and crystal blue. too. I’m glad I don’t have to choose.

There’s no cuter mixer, then the pink one!
Sweet greatings from the Netherlands.
Walt Disney World!!!! Pink Mixer!!!
My favorite thing to do on vacation is to go fast in a car, so anytime I can take a day or two off work and attend an open track event is absolutely the best. One day at the race track, Laguna Seca or Portland or Las Vegas or Tooele Utah’s Miller Motorsport, is the best. One day is the equivalent of being away from work for a week. Can’t do that, then I would vote for time at Navarre Beach near Pensacola Florida where the sands are white and the water beautiful shades of KitchenAid Crystal Blue, Aqua Sky, Ice and Pistachio. I’d pick Silver Metallic.

My favorite vacation spot Destin,FL and I choose Ice, Ice babe!
You know, i would absolutely love to spend a whole vacation in Paris, not just to finally get to know it, but also to learn how to do French pastries straight from the source. It’s one thing to read about them and try to make them adjusting recipes to my local ingredients, but it would be incredible to actually have the whole experience of going shopping in Paris and then making some incredible French dessert for people I love. I can only imagine the different sights, smells and tastes I would experience.
Oh, and I just fell in love with the pink mixer. It’s adorable!
Aqua sky, beautiful blue skies with us!
Staying home, no schuedule, hanging out with my kids doing whatever we want! Love silver!

My last vacation before the accident that caused my nerve disorder was to Cancun with a group of friends 10 years ago. If I could take a dream vacation now, it wouldn’t matter where, so long as I could have my favorite travel companions by my side!
And of course, having a gorgeous KitchenAid mixer with which to whip up tasty treats to take on our travels or to celebrate our return would be like frosting on a brownie! I’m beyond in love with the copper, but I could be tempted to stray by the pretty Pink, the cool Ice blue or that sleek, sexy Silver Metallic!
BALI ! and I love the Ice mixer
