Day Trip:: Breckenridge, Colorado.

February 2, 2010 4

We are back from a lovely, lovely weekend that Mr. Sweet Greens planned for our family. The weekend was full of fun and relaxation. We woke up bright and early and drove the 2 1/2 hours to Breckenridge, Colorado. Breckenridge or as locals call it, ‘Breck‘ is a lovely little ski town full of fun things to do, including skiing or riding.

Mr. Sweet Greens and I snowboard and Eben is learning how to ski, however this was a weekend planned solely around relaxation so we didn’t hit the slopes. Instead, we went to Breckenridge to walk around the quaint little town, have lunch and stroll throught the 2010 International Snow Sculpture Festival. Teams from around the world started working on these snow sculptures last Tuesday morning and the results were fantastic.

It was a fun way to spend the morning and Eben especially enjoyed all of the artwork. We had several favorites, it was hard to choose. Which were your favorites? You can see more pictures here.

Stay tuned…up next. My favorite part of the weekend…Mt. Princeton Hot Springs Resort.

How about you lovely readers, how was your weekend?

Did you do anything fun? exciting?

Love at Little Lark

February 1, 2010 8

When I saw these tee shirts from Little Lark, I wondered if they were made especially with Eben in mind. He would go crazy over this shirt, he has a major Star Wars thing going on right now. And by right now, I mean for the past 4 years. Personally, I would like the owl shirt in my size please.

And don’t even get me started on the fabulous heart pillow. Wouldn’t it look adorable amongst the throw pillows on my sofa. And all of it organic. Really? Fantastic.

What do you think of the Little Lark designs?

Vegan Valentine’s Day Goodies from Pattycake Bakery

February 1, 2010 4

Are you planning on giving that special someone you love a little treat this Valentine’s Day? Or does your special someone want a treat that doesn’t hurt the environment? Is your sweetie vegan? Do you have a chocolate love, cookie monster or muffin fanatic on your Valentine’s Day List?

If so, then Pattycake Bakery is your sweet treat spot. We recently received a box full of goodies from The Pattycake Bakery and our initial thought was that the treats looked delicious. And guess what? They tasted even better than they looked. Eben and I really, really enjoyed the Seriously Good Chocolate Cupcake, it was, well, Seriously good. It was definitely the best chocolate cupcake I have ever tasted. This cupcake is huge, moist and has the most lovely rich chocolate frosting. Heaven in a cupcake, really. We also loved the conversation heart cut out cookie. Again this cookie was very moist and yummy. I also love the messages on the cookie, especially the I {heart} your mustache cookie. How fun is that?

Eben is an absolute muffin man so the Marry Me Blueberry Muffin and Pumpkin Walnut Muffin were definitely his thing. They are large, fluffy and fantastic.
Don’t believe that Eben loves, loves, loves a muffin? Let me show you how MUCH he loves a muffin.

Wouldn’t these make a lovely addition to your Valentine’s Day brunch?

* A big thank you to Pattycake Bakery for sending us the goodies and a lovely hug to Angie for telling me about Pattycake Bakery.

Hello Lovely Readers,
How was your week? Mine was full of appointments with many important decisions to be made. So, I have been feeling a little overwhelmed, yet excited about the choices that need to be made. And when I am overwhelmed, who should come to the rescue but Mr. Sweet Greens himself, of course. He has an entire surprise weekend planned for our family and you know how I feel about surprises, right? More to come on our weekend, next week,{when I have tons of pictures to share} so stayed tuned.
How about you dear readers, what weekend plans do you have?
By the way, are you going to work on valentines with your children this weekend? What type of Valentines do they give to their classmates and friends? Do you buy them? Make them? Bake them? I would love to hear your ideas. Eben and I are thinking of making his valentines again this year, but haven’t decided on what to make yet. Are you planning on surprising your sweet with a treat this Valentine’s Day? What are your plans. As you can tell, I have Valentine’s Day on my mind.
And just in case you missed it, here are my favorite Sweet Green things from this week::
A Perfect Little Owl, A Little Pie for your Sweetie Pie and Green Valentine’s for Kids. Also don’t forget, there is still time to enter to Win! A Set of Little Green Books, A SnapWare Collection, a Sweet Little Gnome and Weecycled Shoes.
