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.

Someday, Hawaii. While my son is still young, Disney will always be a favorite. However, stay-cations allow us a new adventure every day – going to all those local-ish places that we see and say “We should go there when the weather gets better.” Really, any excursion we take together is my favorite thing to do! Eventhough I am not typically a “pink” kind of girl, that pink mixer is too much to resist!
Cambria, Ca with my hubby! Went there for our honeymoon and walked on the beach holding hands, one of my fav memories!! Ice is beautiful!!

I love going back and visiting all of our friends and his family (yes, I can truely say that I love my in-laws). Plus the weather in the summer is so much cooler and less humid than where we’re at now that it really feels like a vacation! Oh, and I love, LOVE the ice color!!!
I like to spend time experimenting with new recipes. I work such long hours i don’t have a lot of time otherwise. If it has to be an ‘outside the house’ thing, then I love to go to Hyannis/Cape Cod. I used to go every summer as a kid and I miss it being cross country.
