First things first!  So excited to announce the winner of the KitchenAid giveaway!  It goes to: Susan S. from Carmel, IN!  So happy for you Susan!  HUGE congratulations.  Grove will be in touch and sending you your new KitchenAid soon!

Too much  fun.  I just had an Oprah moment.. “YOU get a car and YOU get a car!”  Maybe I need to do giveaways more often. ;)  Sorry for the delay announcing the winner everyone!  I’ve been trying to get this post out for two days but my kids have had other plans for me.  Ahhh summer.  Such an exhausting exhilarating time of year.
