Our kids made a video with United Way of Washington County - East about Stuff the Bus. They didn't know they were going to be thrown into this, but at 13 and 10, I think they did pretty well ♥️.

Odin's most utilized item in his bag is his Binder (Trapper keeper 😉), and Maggie's favorite items are her crayons.

If you're out shopping and can afford a little extra, please consider picking up some school supplies like Crayons, Markers, Pencils, etc. and help us Stuff the Bus!!!

Good Morning Friends
Happy Saturday ☺️

Summer is getting steamy 🔥!
Thank goodness we're prepared!

Everything on our menu can be enjoyed frozen, or poured over ice, for a refreshing drink to help beat the heat 🧊🧊🧊

This is our Barista Jackie's favorite iced drink..
White chocolate, Coconut, Almond, and a little Salted Caramel Iced Mocha.

My current favorite is an Iced Americano with a splash of oat milk and a Hazelnut cold foam topper. If I was going frozen, a Whitney is always a great go to.. Espresso, Cream, White & Milk chocolate all blended together.

If you love soaking up all this summer heat, we have a row of Adirondack chairs right up front. If you like being outside, but under shade, we have a covered deck to enjoy. For those of you who feel like they're melting in this heat...come join us inside in the AC!

Scones... Blueberry, Espresso chocolate chip, and Raspberry

Have a great day everyone!
Cheers ☕

Good Morning Friends
Happy Fri-yay ☺️

I didn't mean to alarm anyone with my back to school post yesterday. Sometimes those reminders help me slow down, stop hustling through the craziness of summer, and enjoy what Summertime has to offer.

I listened to a podcast a while back (I have no idea which one, or I would reference it), but the woman speaking said something along these lines...

"Today my house is a mess, I've got deadlines approaching, but I also realize my tank is empty. When my tank is empty, my creativity plummets. My drive to do my best, becomes a drive to just get it done. If I don't feed my body the rest, the adventure, and the happy input it craves every once in a while, my output will diminish greatly. Yes, I'll have double the work to do the next day, but I'll do it with a smile on my face, and happy memories playing over and over again in my brain. Taking moments will be worth it."

I love that.

Summer goes by so fast. You should linger a little longer on our deck, meet with friends a little more, soak up the energy our little town has when Mother Nature cranks up the temperature dial, meander through shops, or sit by the river while it's still in its liquid form.

I didn't mean to alarm you with the back to school talk yesterday. I'm just reminding you to enjoy this gorgeous summer we are having. Hopefully with a delicious drink from the DG in your hand. Happy Friday everyone . I hope you get a moment to enjoy it 😉

👇This drink is an Iced Americano with Salted Caramel and a Cinnamon Cold Foam top. Delicious!

Have a great day everyone!
Cheers ☕

Good Morning Friends
Happy Thursday ☺️

Can you believe it's July 9th already?

We are already starting to get school notifications and fall sports information for our Elementary and Jr High kiddos 🤯.

I'm not ready!

I love the information, because I like getting our kids school supplies early, but I am holding onto summer for dear life.

There are still more warm walks through the plush green landscape to be had, morning fog over the river to be in awe over, more movies in the park, Lumberjack days, and lazy summer days sitting on the DG deck with all of you.

All that being said, I need to circle back to the school notifications part. The school supply lists were just released, and I know many families are stressed in the Valley over it. Being a one income family ourselves, I know how tight the family budget can be. That's why we love partnering with United Way of Washington County - East on their stuff the bus program.

If you are able, we are a drop location for any and all school supplies. We're talking backpacks, Colored pencils, Expo markers, notebooks. Calculators, and so on. Many retailers have school lists available, so you can also check that out as well for reference. Even if you just drop off one item, that ripple affect will be felt in this valley.

Let's get all our students in this district the tools they need to be as successful and confident as possible in this upcoming school year! LETS STUFF THE BUS!

P.S. The drink in the picture is an Oat milk latte with Banana, Honey, and vanilla. Delicious!

Have a great day everyone!
Cheers ☕

Good morning Friends
Happy Wednesday ☺️

It's a little cloudy and dreary this morning, but this Honey Nut latte with Malted milk will bring a little sunshine to your day!

Pair it with a Blueberry scone, and a slow walk through main street, and see how much your day brightens up!

When was the last time you just leisurely strolled through actual brick and mortar shops? It's so easy to scroll through a phone, but actually strolling through a store is an experience you don't get from electronics.

Come on down and see for yourself! I bet you will find the best treasures ♥️

Have a great day everyone!
Cheers ☕

Good morning Friends
Happy Tuesday ☺️

Look what's new!

So many of you love Makena's whimsical earrings, and they have been restocked!

How cute are these?
I think the popsicles might be my favorite, but the strawberries are a close 2nd.

Also, guess what day it is? It's the first Summer Tuesdays!

There's a vendor market, live music, and a movie in the park. This week's movie is Zootopia 2. It's a perfect family friendly local event. Market opens at 5 PM.

Last, it's Tuesday, so there's free parking all day! Come on down and visit!

Scones... Blueberry, Lemon white, and raspberry
