I really love it when I come across new product that immediately grabs me and that I just know my customers will love. How excited am I that I've found not one, but TWO new lines just like that in the last couple months?  (Spoiler alert, almost as excited as the cutie in this picture!) Need something absolutely adorable in your life?  Well, you have me of course, but other than that, now you have Warmies!  These little animals are so cute and incredibly soft, but they're not regular stuffed animals.  No, that would be boring. 😉 Warmies are filled with...

  And definitely NOT a good habit at that.  Last year the poor Momager fell and broke her wrist and spent the first part of the year down for the count with that.  This year we were hoping for a better start ... until I got sick.  And stayed sick.  And finally wound up in the hospital with flu, pneumonia, bronchitis, and I don't know, a stubbed toe?  It seemed like I had everything at that point.  It took a LOOOONG time to get better and I'm still not 100%, but I'm a lot closer now finally, and finally able...

I mean, not anytime real soon, and with what the weather people are saying right now, certainly not in the next day or so while we're expecting snow, ice and "icy mixture".

  Okay, so, confession time. I did that Best9in2018 thing, and it just didn't quite cut it for me. They may have been the most liked pictures on instagram, but they didn't tell the story of 2018. 2018 was a wild year. Filled with fun, friends, lots of rain, and LOTS of adventures. We found amazing new products to entertain and make people smile. Mom became bionic in February with metal plates in her wrist! (Frozen rain.) Elaine and I started doing festivals and got to meet a lot of you all over the place. (It rained.) The town of Berkeley...

So if you were in Berkeley Springs this weekend, you were in for an amazing experience!  Like, truly amazing.  When we first started planning holiday events in August we thought a Cocoa Crawl sounded like a LOT of fun, and after four months of planning and promoting, about 550 people showed up in our tiny little town to sample cocoa!  We were so thrilled, and it really put everyone in the holiday spirit, along with all of the lights, decorated meters, windows, and fun.  After much experimenting, I managed to come up with an amaaaazing combination for our signature cocoa,...
