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.

My favorite part of vacation? The first night we come home and everyone is asleep in their own beds. I love that feeling!

I love to go anywhere warm and beachy because I love the water. The deep blue sea calls to me! As does that silver metallic mixer. :)
I love going to Europe whenever possible – especially anywhere I’ve never been before.

Favourite vacation spot? Hmmmmm, really anywhere I can be with my family (my whole family)…! Hubby is a soldier, so we don’t get a lot of time together as a family (so is my brother in law), we move around a lot and that means spending much of our time apart.
So honestly, I wouldn’t care where we all were just as long as we could be there together.
Hence the crazy baking regime *lol* It’s my way of escaping from “Army Life” *hehe*
Oh and definitely the Ice colour, would match my espresso machine PERFECTLY…! :D

When I was younger, my parents took me all over the US to visit the 50 states (we made it to about 43). But I have to say that my favorite out of those trips was the one to Wyoming for Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons. I would give anything to go back there again.
