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 absolute favorite thing to do is to watch the sunrise on the beach! Majestic Yellow!!!
I pretty much go to the beach every other weekend during the summer… (: the water is just the color of the Aqua Sky model.
Oh my gosh I love the Ice, Aqua Sky, and Pistachio colors – although I would take any! Beautiful colors! My favorite place to vacation with my family was Jackson Hole, WY. It has horses, mountains, white water rafting, cowboys, big open skies, and plenty of fun and entertainment. Plus, Yellowstone is really close too!
Vacation spent in Amish Country, Lancaster PA. Day trips to road stands & “pick you own” farms & orchards are my passion! Relaxing at home afterwards & cooking, baking, and canning up all of the goodies for gifts & fair entries is my favorite thing.
I am willing to bet that my goodies would taste much better with that PINK KitchenAid Stand Mixer on my counter top!
Majestic yellow!
And the new jersey shore :)
