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.

Now my kids are bring their kids (they fly because as they remember, “it was torture MOM, you drive to slow”. All kitchen aid mixers are beautiful to me, but I’m kind of taking a fancy to the pistachio.
My favorite place to vacation at is definitely Italy! Loved the architecture and of course, the PASTA AND PIZZA! I’ve been wanting to go back.
My favorite out of all the kitchen aid mixers is Aqua Sky.
We always head to the beach, maybe that’s why I like the ice color! It’s like gorgeous clear water!
My husband and I are going to Ireland next year, and I can already say that it will be my favorite vacation! Also, picking one of those amazing colors will be like asking a mother to pick a favorite child. I must say Majestic Yellow, just because my kitchen is retro and awesome.

Grand Canyon, south rim. Oh, and pistachio for the color.

If I could pick a color, I’d pick the silver metallic. My sister just got her kitchen redone, and I’d gift it to her. She doesn’t have a stand mixer, and she has no idea what she’s missing!
Spending time with family and the yellow one :)
California!
Pink!
Hmmm… I imagine a comfy, classy, vintage-inspired lodge in the country with a large, beautiful, fully stocked kitchen where I can relax and cook/bake anything I want.

My favorite place is Mackinaw Island, MI. Transportation is horse drawn carriage or bicycle. A nice 10 mile (approx) bike ride around the island is always on the list of things to do. Also on the list is watching the beautiful and bright yellow sunrise and the majestic sunsets! Naturally my color choice to remind me of my island visits is Majestic Yellow!
My favorite thing to do on vacation is sleep in! Thus, it doesn’t matter where I go. :D The colors are all so pretty but I would have to say the ice color is my favorite!

So now you can guess my approximate age :)
I love the yellow! And my favorite place to vacation is wherever family n friends can all enjoy themselves. Usually a beach or beach resort.

My favorite vacation is to the Sierra Nevadas, just east of Yosemite. It’s been a family thing since before I was born and I want to keep the tradition going as I grow older and start a family of my own. It started with traditional dry camping but as my parents have gotten older, it’s now an RV thing. Fishing, grilling, drinking, talking, laughing, hiking, exploring the neighboring ghost town… Not to mention the air is clean & fresh and the sights are gorgeous. I look forward to it every year.
I love Pistachio!
