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 place is a little town in Texas (where I’m originally from). The town is called Marathon. There is a wonderful hotel there, no TVs. You just read, swim and walk around the small town. I love going to the little market right by old train tracks for chips, salsa, and cold beer. There used to be a wonderful woman with an old Victorian house, and she had a cat motel out front. All of the cats were friendly and roamed the town but knew they could go there for safe sleeping. I miss that place so much…
The aqua sky reminds me of the old vintage feel of that town so that’s my choice. Thanks :)

My Favorite thing to do is cook. I enjoy making something new, when my husband was in the Air Force and we lived overseas I would learn to make a lot of the local dishes from what ever country we lived in at the time. That way we could always take a trip through food and still be at home with our memories. My favorite was the Island of Treciera in the Azores, they had some of the best food and Pasteries & best cafes.
If I could win I would like the Silver Metalic. If not Thank you anyways for the oppurtunity.

I can’t help but love this time of year, since I have some “Spring” in every aspect of my life.
My favorite vacation is visiting my grandchildren in Colorado (I live in California) and spending time in the kitchen cooking and sharing stories about what’s going on in their lives. They’re at the age where they don’t like talking on the phone all that much (8 and 10). Since my daughter is an avid cook, as am I . . . the kitchen is the perfect place for all of us “girls” to reconnect.
P.S. Your blog is always a nice way to start my day. I admire your creativity!
