Sorry for the delay...

So sorry I haven't been posting recently - I have been terribly sick and missed several days of work in the past two weeks and have been in a general slump as of late.  I have TONS of stuff that I want to write about but I've been lacking the energy to do it and letting myself get more than a little overwhelmed with everything.

I would like to make a quick thank you to Ashley A Blog in the life of a Jersey girl and Juliadee Field of Flowers - My Life in the Meadow who have both nominated me for a Leibster award which helps promote and celebrate new bloggers.  I am going to be working on an entry answering all of their questions and nominating some deserving fellow bloggers of my own tomorrow afternoon, so you can read all about it then!

Also I want to thank my sweet husband Andy for the wonderful Valentine's day gift he gave me - a candy apple red KitchenAid stand mixer!  The professional bowl lift model - this guy was not kidding around.  Here are a few pictures of it - if you look closely at the first my chihuahua Obi Wan is licking his lips at the thought of all the deliciousness to come.

When it first showed up I was terribly excited to make something with it but then I promptly came down with a cold that knocked me off my feet for what seemed like a year.  I promised Andy delicious goodies this weekend and I will deliver them and post some pics tomorrow.  In the meantime I hope you all are well, happy and not stuck under tons of snow!  Much love to everybody - I'll catch you tomorrow!
