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.

Who has time for spring break???? I homeschool so our spring break is divided up over fun outings. My favorite was the aqua sky mixer but silver is also grand. I have already had a white one – I killed it. I didn’t know a person could kill a kitchenaid.

It’s our family’s favorite summer vacation spot and hopefully will be for a couple more generations! The pistachio mixer is so cute, but I’m a sucker for any shade of green :)
My favorite vacation is going to see my three grandchildren. I know it does sound like a vacation…but to me being with my little munchkins is the best thing in the world. I can always rest when I get home.
Thank you for sponsoring this great give away. I would love the pink kitchen aid but receiving any color as a gift would be wonderful!
My favorite thing to do is enjoying the warm weather, the sun on the skin, the fresh smell of cut grass. I do not need to go to a specific place for that, just being at home will do that for me.
