Now and then I post about places that I frequent. This one is one of my absolute all time favorites. I have been going to this bakery since 1992 and has been in the family for over 50 years. This place has created so many great memories for me just because of having their baked goods over the years. Places like this you can’t duplicate, especially in today’s times.

This is a little bakery called Friendly Bake Shop and is nestled in the heart of the Village of Frankfort located in upstate New York’s Mohawk Valley. This is their 4th generation of spreading love through their baked goods.

They truly show their love for what they do through their products. The recipes haven’t changed one bit. No preservatives or additives, just pure homemade awesome tasting donuts and bread.

The donuts literally melt in your mouth and the bread is indescribable. All you need is a pat of butter on a slice of that wholesome goodness and you are in heaven.

If you are ever driving this way through the Mohawk Valley, this place is definitely worth trying. You won’t regret it.

Holy sh*t! I did it!

I did it. I booked a campsite for the boys and I. This is one step closer for me to actually get to go camping solo. Over the past 2 years we have been going with my sister and her husband. This year we kind of graduated. We are going camping at the same campground with them but at a different campsite.

Then…. I took it upon myself to book a site just for the boys and I at a different time and place all together.

The campground we are going to is called Limekiln and it is up in the Adirondacks of NY.

I am actually looking into investing in a small rv that sleeps 3. Since my boys are turning 17 and 18 in September, I think I will be going on my own next summer. I think that a small rv might be better when I am alone as opposed to tent camping. Gotta have room for my dog! haha

So here is our site that I booked in July at Limekiln.

I am beyond excited.

All it takes are baby steps when it comes to accomplishing anything you want. Life is too short not to take a chance.

This is minimalism at its best. All this took took was a fresh coat of paint and a garage sale find for $80 bucks.

Sitting on a porch is the best therapy a person can get.

Life can be simple if you truly want it to be. Less is definitely more.

Be brave in everything you do

It’s really simple. What holds us back from moving forward, taking that chance, or making a life change? Fear right?

Fear holds us back from more than we realize. For some of us fear can play a part in the simplest tasks. For starters, putting our two feet on the floor when we wake up in the morning. There is always something out there we dread that has to be dealt with in our day right?

Try this(myself included), start off with just today by saying no or not doing something with you are uncomfortable with, without feeling bad or guilty.

Little steps are a great way to get going on defeating what’s holding you back.

Consciously make an effort and take note on everything and every little feeling, like the pit in your stomach feeling, when you have to make a choice on what YOU want to do. Just say no. It’s really not that hard. Remember baby steps.

Good luck today.  I’d like to hear what you decided not to do today and how it felt to say no. Even if you say no to one thing, that is a great start.

Be brave and have a great day!
