CELEBRATION TIME!!! 200th Post Giveaway!!



This is it!

It's my 200th post here on Minnesota Meets California and we're celebrating with another great Give Away!

*************************

When I first started blogging YEARS ago, I never took it seriously. I look back to my very first blog and the things I blogged about and I just laugh. It's funny. I didn't take it seriously and eventually just forgot about blogging altogether.

A couple of years ago, I started blogging again. When I started planning our Destination Wedding, I totally got into it and blogged on almost a daily basis, journaling all of my wedding planning processes! I figured I'd have this to look back on in the years to come. :)

Now that our wedding is done and over with, along with all of our wedding related events, I've been trying to figure out what direction this blog is going to go. There are a ton of blogs that focus on things like Product Reviews, Nutrition, Weddings, Foods, etc. I don't think I'm going to be one of those bloggers that do any one certain thing. I think this blog will be a mixture of EVERYTHING. Perhaps more focused on my daily life, but I think I'll eventually get into a product review here and there; I already feature "Tasty Tuesday" where I share a recipe with you all; Mondays, I feature my "Meandering Mondays, where I share different blogs that I follow. And from time to time I will be doing some awesome GIVEAWAYS!!

*******************************



Have I expressed how much I just love Target? I am all about Target for many different reasons.

1) I love that I met my husband there;
2) I love that I had the opportunity to open a SuperTarget Store;
3) I love their products;
4) I love their prices;
5) I love that they have a Starbucks in their stores;
6) I love that I get a discount when I shop there;
7) I love that everytime YOU shop there, it's helping my future;
8) I love that they give back to the community and schools;
9) I love their super cool One Spot Dollar section;
10) I love their awesome deals on Black Friday;

I could go on and on and on, but I'll save you all from it. However, I would like to share with you the awesome cupcakes that I did for the SuperTarget's Grand Opening in Atwater, California.


I enjoyed doing those cupcakes. We had like three of those tables around the store that day and can I just say that I was so sick of cupcakes, not to mention RED and WHITE.

The reason I bring up ♥Target♥ and how much I love them, is because in celebration of my 200th Post, I will be doing a very special Giveaway!

    Weekend Wrap Up

    Although it's already Tuesday, I'm doing my Weekend Wrap Up post a day late!

    This past weekend was totally jam packed with fun stuff. We had a surprise 70th Birthday Party for a very good friend of ours!

    I was honored to do his cake ~ and here it is:

    I also made some "Better than Sex" Cupcakes. Now, normally, this would be a cake. Knowing how much the birthday boy LOVES this cake whenever I make it, I decided I'd experiment and make 'em into cupcakes! And let me tell you, it was a complete hit!!



    Brian and I had a wonderful time getting to spend time with some of our friends ~ old and new! It's times like these where you just sit around, relax, and enjoy life that makes me so happy!!

    I also made a few other snacks / treats.... here's one of them:


    Chocolate dipped Pretzel Rods with Rainbow Non-Pareils. Totally Yumny!!!!

    So, as you all can see, I've been experimenting and adding Sweet Treats to my Etsy Store as I 'perfect' them.

    Stay tuned for more pictures!!!!!
