Color my world

Sunshine! Funny how such a simple thing can completely change our attitudes, our minds, our sprits. That change is refreshing, and up-lifting. We NEEDED this. Especially this year. 

Fresh little daffodils, green grass begging to be mowed, buds on the trees, geese flying back north, baby animals, the smell of the wind and marvel of the stars at night . All of these mark a new season, a fresh start. Anticipation and HOPE.

We're shaking off the grey of winter, and coloring our world with the bright colors of joy, the colors of new life. What is coloring your world right now? For us, it's the anticipation of serving up and catering fresh ice creams and fruit Italian Ices to our guests. Yes, we really NEEDED them, our clients. They make us whole. They color our world. 

As you prepare for Easter and your spring holidays, here are some fun little ice cream coloring pages to share with kids of all ages. Feel free to download and print. Maybe you can find a few bright colors to introduce to these pages yourself. After all, we all need to nurture the little kid inside us, lest they get old and stale.

Product Review: Miss to Mrs Gift Box Subscription

PictureMs to Mrs Box Subscription wedding gift
We all know that there are plenty of things that we have on our "wish list" that we would never really consider buying for ourselves. Probably since we tend to be more responsible with our own hard earned monies. I'm sure you can name off at least a handful of things that you'd love to acquire, but just don't run out and get. Most often they're personal items, because -  you know, we just don't take care of ourselves like we should. :-)

When it comes to prepping and planning for a wedding, the tasks can be overwhelming and stressful. The product I'm sharing today is a a gift subscription box, designed to help make the planning process fun and suspenseful. 

Miss to Mrs Box Subscription is a cute recurring gift box service delivered to the Bride-to-be every two to three months. Boxes are spaced depending on the length of time until your wedding, and with 9 unique themes, you are sure to enjoy a variety of surprises along your journey to the big day.

According to MisstoMrs, each delivered box contains 7-8 items (over $100 worth of goodies) that "will be automatically tailored to your wedding date to ensure you get the most useful items and tips at the best time in your planning journey."  And at $35 per box, its affordable!

Letting YOurself be pampered.

As a professional that works heavily in the wedding industry, we often come across vendors, services and products that are worth sharing to our network. We hope that these little insights might be of value to you in the sometimes overwhelming process of wedding and party planning.

Let's face it. One of the nicest parts of getting married is the chance for people to shower you with fun gifts. Not all of us are comfortable with this idea, being in the spotlight can make many feel uneasy, for a variety of reasons. Maybe we're just shy, or maybe it's because we feel unworthy, or some other reason. Yet loved ones may just insist on doing it anyway. So, try to allow yourself this little luxury.

There are only a few times in ones life that you can get spoiled and taken care of. Everyone completely understands. One is when you get married, and the other is when having a baby. After each, the beautiful yet challenging hard work comes along.

"There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone."

Laugh out loud and Spring cleaning

2/17/2020

It's February and I'm done with winter. Not that we've really had much winter weather, but the relentless barrage of rain has been slow and torturous. So, I find myself rummaging through stuff, trying to clean and "get organized" (which is a never-ending battle.) 

As I "clean" I remember I needed to:

Update the address book ( finding returned Christmas cards I saved just so I could remember to update them.)

​Which leads me to clean out the junk drawer (after trying to find that mini size screwdriver to fix the glasses that got set aside for just this occasion.)

Keeping it real- a late bloomer

11/28/2019

As I sit here with my third cup of coffee on this lazy Thanksgiving morning, I find it a perfect time to reflect on this season. This years summer season started out unusually slow. We went into the summer with fewer than usual catering commitments, and I couldn't help but wonder what was happening.

The economy seemed to be plugging along just fine. People were still falling in love. Ice cream was still in vogue, with no imminent new-fangled "discovery" of it causing some sort of deathly disease. So, what the heck was going on? 

We're fortunate to belong to several wedding vendor groups, so what better way to get to the bottom of the problem? ​I started asking around. Everyone, apparently, was in the same boat. The year/season was a "late bloomer".

Some are SIlver, some Gold

Chances are, you have several groups of friends, all different yet valued, each special for a variety of reasons. Some are old friends, the ones that have been around through the different "lives" that you have lived.

There are the one's you knew as a youngster. The you that was a silly kid, did stupid stuff. That's the friend you don't have to work too hard to please 'cause they'll always remember the sweet, young you.

Then there's the teenage/young adult friendships. The ones that have run the gauntlet with you and been through those awkward teen years, braces, pimples, strange not-so-cool haircuts and clothes that you wrote off as "uniquely" you. The ones that you share secrets with. That you stretched the limits with and walked that line. Those are the faithful "blood-brothers" kind of friends. They are precious and few.

The winter leaves way too much time for me to think. UGH! Yes, I am one of those people, never satisfied, always looking for more options and ways to make things better. (My poor husband!)  And this year has been no exception. So this winter "we" added a new cart to our line-up. 

I was looking for a way to offer a smaller cart with 4 flavor options, for those clients that have very specific needs. Smaller than the 6 flavor options on our regular carts. I also wanted a different look, you know, shake things up a little. With this in mind, we decided to sport a more industrial theme with black and silver tones. 

​I love the look, and the smaller foot-print. This allows our clients to have even more cart options if they choose. What do you think?

Year End wedding at Kell's!

1/8/2019

0 Comments

 
We had the pleasure of serving at Alicea's and Eric reception at the end of the year in a beautiful ballroom upstairs in Kell's Restaurant. This couple and their guests were so nice, what a great group of people! They created scrapbooks for the bride and groom onsite, and chowed down with a nice sundae bar to top their dessert.
We get to learn a little about the couple before  serving so as to understand more about them. Here are some of the fun insights Alicea provided us: 
  • How did you meet?
    I was at a '90s themed house party and he crashed the party with is roommate. We drank vodka, and in 15 minutes he got my number. Then he ran out... and we didn't have our first date for 2 months.  (Oh well, the best things come to those that wait, right?)
  • Describe your spouse on your first date? Where was it? How did they look/dress/act?
    We went to East Burn to swing on the swings, and it was kind of awkward because my 8th grade teacher was sitting right next to us, and then he took me to Pix Patisserie to get dessert and then we went dancing at the Holocene. ( 8-D )
  • What was it about your spouse that made you realize that they were “the one”?
    He's smooth where I'm rough and vice versa, and I like the way he smells. (Aww! How perfect!)
  • Who has the better taste in music?
    Eric thinks he does, but it's definitely me he listens to a lot of weird noises. (LOL!)
​Thanks for including us in your special memories! Wishing you the best in your new life together!

Baby It's Cold Outside :-)

Winter has arrived, and with it comes lots of excuses, er, reasons to snuggle up with you favorite "snug-gler". Whether that is a spouse, a child/grandchild or pet, there is nothing as soul soothing, energy-renewing, memory making as quiet, personal time with people you love.

It's so easy to get caught up in the season of busy-ness, parties, gift buying, year end "to-do's", I often find myself running crazy at a time when I should be able to sit and relax. This should technically be our slow season, but after a few years under our belt of this fun dessert catering service, I have come to realize that there is no "real" slow season. Work/life responsibilities only shift-shape into other things. For us it has to do with looking at the past season and analyzing how we did, and being willing to take a hard look at our strengths and weaknesses.

For me it's always about being the best at providing our clients and guests with an experience that exceeds their expectations. For this reason we are spending some time this season to renew our menu offerings and create a new look option on a cart. We will still have our traditional carts, but will be adding a more industrial looking cart to the mix. It will be a cart that supports our new menu offering (more news to come!)

So for now, we are deep in planning, looking back and looking forward, always striving for perfection.  If you have any ideas on what that may look like, feel free to share your opinion, we love feedback! Until we see you at the next #ReasonToCelebrateLife , have a warm, snuggly, love-filled holiday season.  Peace.
