May Day! May Day! We are getting ready today for #MothersDay #toffeetalk #kraftbox #toffee #May (at toffee talk headquarters)
Toffee Talk would be a big hit for Mother’s Day! Is anyone in my family listening?? ;-)
Michelle Obama is fabulous as always in this video she created in partnership with Seventeen magazine, as part of their Girl Power campaign.
“I never dreamed about success. I worked for it.”
Chocolate of the Moment… OCHO Candy!
The kind folks over at OCHO Candy sent this generous care package to me…what a great surprise! I was already a fan of their dark chocolate Coconut Bar, so I swiped all of those out of the box before my 3 kids could get their hands on this yummy loot.
OCHO is based right here in the San Francisco Bay Area, and their mission is to provide a delicious organic alternative to traditional candy bars. Their bars are hand-crafted out of the finest ingredients. No preservatives, additives or artificial flavors…kudos to them!
Thank you, OCHO, for the gift, and for making candy bars I’m willing to buy for my kids…and that are sooo tasty! My teens especially love the Mocha and Dark Coffee ones (what is it with teens and coffee these days?!), and my youngest is a fan of the Peanut Butter Bar and the Caramel & Peanut. And for me…yep, coconut!
Chocolate of the Moment…
“Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.”
Happy Earth Day! In 1962, Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring was published, documenting the detrimental effects of the pesticide DDT on birds and bringing environmental concerns to the American public. The resulting outcry led to a nationwide ban on DDT for agricultural uses and inspired an environmental movement that led to the creation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Happy Earth Day…
Chocolate of the Moment… Recchiuti’s Easter truffles, which were on sale for half off at their SF Ferry Building store today. I happened to see their Facebook post just as my ferry was arriving in the city. Great timing! First stop: Recchiuti!
“Women are the largest untapped reservoir of talent in the world.”
Congratulations to Chelsea Clinton who, today, announced that she is pregnant with her first child! Ms. Clinton isn’t due until the fall, so I’m sure we’ll be hearing lots more about this baby…which will be sort of like a “royal baby” for U.S. Democrats.
