SPRING!!!!

Spring has arrived! So I am sure many of you are as excited as I am. When Spring arrives many of us start the Spring Cleaning process. We start cleaning drawers, closets and every nook and cranny of our house. I find this refreshing as well as a time to see what I need to replace.
The kitchen is what many consider the heart of the home and I would agree with that. So as you are cleaning your cupboards and drawers see what gadgets and pans may need to be replaced and make a list of those items. Maybe you are a ready to update your colors but can not afford a huge make over. Decorative towels, mugs, bowls, appetizer plates or some new table top items are an inexpensive way to create a new refreshing look. You may also find the need to get your recipe's organized and a new album or recipe box needs to be purchased. I would love to help you so replace the old with new!!!
Be sure to join us Thursday April 2 from 5pm to 7pm for our Late Night Date Night!!! A great night to come in see what is new, sample, sip, shop and socialize! Our special guest is Heather Dauen with Clever Container!!!

Super Bowl Sunday

Another Super Bowl has arrived! I am not a football fan but I do get a bit excited about the Super Bowl. Why the Super Bowl well because of the half time entertainment and the menu of course. I enjoy researching recipes and figuring out just what I am going to make for the big game.  It is usually just me and the hubs watching the game so I will only make a few items because we will graze our way through. If we were hosting a group well then I would go all out with decorations and menu. If you ever in need of party décor ideas go to Pintrest and you will find many great ideas and also easy DIY ( Do It Yourself) to pull off that are not expensive. Many dollar store's carry colored paper products, table cloths and napkins. You can make the food and drink markers out of scrapbook paper and while you are at it make a pennant banner. Use what you have around the house. You may have a football or helmet that you can set up as centerpieces on your drink table or main food table. You can go big or small with the decorations but do a little something it's just more festive! So enjoy the game this weekend for what ever reason you watch it.

I decided to host a Pre Super Bowl Bash this Saturday Jan 31 at the store. It's the perfect day to come try some of our new flavors, maybe win a door prize, see what's new and shop a bit. Those who wear  their favorite NFL team gear will also be entered to win a Gift Basket that is filled with goodies for your Super Bowl Bash. Starts at 10am and goes to 3pm but be sure to get here early to try the snacks that may just make your line up for game day!

NEW YEAR NEW YOU!!!!

I can not believe another year is here! I just feel each year just fly by and then I look back and feel I did not live enough. I feel that I spend more time working, cleaning, running errands here and there but never for me. So this year I have decided that I want to learn the art of making bread. Something I have never done. I have made my own pizza dough but bread never.
 I want to work on my yoga. I took a beginners class a few years ago and LOVED it but of course did not implement it into my daily routine but will be this year!!!
Last but not least I want to enjoy the outdoors more. There is so much beauty when you take the time to slow down and be in the moment.
What ever your New Yeats New You wants are I hope you get out there and make them happen because life will just keep moving quickly and I do not want to look back and realize I did not enjoy it enough!!!!
