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.

a very “moving” week

Well, this is the first official post on The Chocolate Season blog! How exciting! I hope this blog will let you know a little bit about me and what’s going on in my life concerning friends, family, and of course, the tasteful happenings of The Chocolate Season!

The last couple weeks have been full of moving. My husband Brad and I bought an old school house just a couple miles north of Omaha. It has tons of character and orginal wood floors and of course, a massive kitchen! (whew whew!)

Luckily the Lord blessed us with wonderful friends, and a few of them (Matt, Clarissa, Jimmy, Amanda and Kody) were all there to help us pack up and move. My family, Sara, Rod and Mary, were also along for the ride, with Rod uncovering his secret identity as “super-human strength guy.” I mean, all these guys were just moving huge items like our king size bed as if it were an inflatable mattrees!

And the gals, Sara, Clarissa and Amanda packed up my whole house in a matter of minutes..(ok, not that fast…but they were good…real good) and Mary came and helped unpack a majority of the kitchen and dishes!

So a big thanks to everyone who helped us start the newest chapter of our life! As for The Chocolate Season, I’ve had some fun doing a bunch of truffle orders, and it seems like the most popular items so far have been the cheesecake brownies and rocky road popcorn! Look forward to the newest item picture update next week: More truffle pictures and PB Balls….mmmmm……

If you have any requests for the next picture update, let me know! That will be the next thing I make to to show on the web site!
