I’m a lover of anything sweet. Growing up in small town Algona, IA, it was hard to find a specialty shop that would tame my soulful desire for chocolate. Over the years, and after re-locating to Omaha, NE, I came across a few chocolate businesses, but couldn’t find a shop that had quality customer service as well as a premium hand-crafted product. Thinking back to my hometown, I knew people, no matter their location, craved a sweet alternative to grocery store chocolate and baked goods. My friends and family knew me as a natural baker with a passion for food, so they encouraged me to pursue my dream in the culinary arts. After refining my skills, I opened a business whose goal is to touch people’s lives and make them feel loved and appreciated—all through the products we offer. Hence, The Chocolate Season was born, a place I hope you come to know and love for our friendly service and decadent creations. If you ever need anything, please drop me a line, I’d love nothing more than to get to know my future customers and friends.

Annual Girls' Night!

This weekend was a lot of fun. The "Berg" girls (Mom, Crystal, Sara, Amanda and I) went to Des Moines to go out for dinner and a show.
This is an annual tradition (thanks to Mom) to get everyone together (no husbands or kids) and just enjoy each others company and see an awesome Broadway musical. This year we got to see Mamma Mia, and it was fantastic! The music just puts a smile on your face. It's always fun to bond with "the girls" and its nice to just hang out and catch up.
Brad and I also managed to paint the whole foundation with water sealer, with not one, but two, coats! whew whew! We wouldn't have been able to accomplish this feat without help from my sister Sara, my father-in-law Rod, and our faithful friend, Ben Boll! (thanks Ben!!!) Our lab Barry also helped...by rolling around in the grass (which had wet paint on it) and he got dubbed, "warrior Barry" with his Braveheart stripe down his face. Problem is, sealer doesn't seem to come off of fur. So on Sunday we had to go to Petco and give him a MAJOR haircut...tail and all. I'll post a picture of that later this week :)

New at The Chocolate Season, Custom Chocolates are now on-line and please give any input on this new service or if you have any ideas you'd like to see at The Chocolate Season. Hope to get new product pictures up, if you have any favorites you'd love to see up, just give me a shout!
Have a wonderful week and I'll be back later this week to update a picture of Barry....(I know you're all waiting in suspense!)
