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.

Guess what…I got my hair caught in one of these while making chocolate chip cookies when I was in the 2nd grade!! My cousin saved all my hair, by running over and turning it off…but I did end up with a HUGE bald spot! I was attached to the machine forever and the beaters were all bent to hell. I’ve never had one of these, call it a partial phobia…I’m not so sure, but I’m thinking my Kitchen Aid Mixer luck might be turning right about now ; )
I love to relax at the BEACH! Tan, swim, sleep :)
And I love the pink!
My favorite thing to do in general is to complete my to do lists. It’s weird but wonderfully satisfying! And I can’t decide between pistachio or the classic silver.
I love to go somewhere I’ve never been before! Seems everyplace has something interesting and beautiful.
It doesn’t matter the vacation destination – I enjoy taking my kids to someplace for the first time and watching their eyes light up with excitement at all of the new sites and sounds (can’t want to take them to Hawaii someday!!). I LOVE the Pistachio mixer :)
I love to explore! Living in Southern California, there’s lots of places to go and things to do without needing to travel too far! Being able to just go somewhere new, walk around and enjoy the city is a great vaca to me!

My wife used to go to Puerto Vallarta just about every summer with her family when she was growing up. She told me about this when we were dating and when we were discussing marriage I suggested we go back to Puerto Vallarta and have a beach wedding which we did. She stressed herself out with planning everything from home (Houston, TX) but when everything was done it was worth it. Definitely something we won’t ever forget. It was amazing. So our favorite vacation spot, when we get to go, is Puerto Vallarta. Her favorite color is pink so she would love the pink pastel mixer. Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
