Red Caboose Turns 2!

Last week our cafe turned TWO years old…and yesterday we celebrated with FREE cake batter + sprinkles for our little town to enjoy! We definitely don’t take this milestone for granted [our first dollar that we made is up on the wall and reminds us of where we started]. Everyday is a new day and every single person that walks through our doors is a blessing.

We created an environment that we believe in. We serve products that we 100% stand behind. And our vision is simple…..to love people, while creating an inspiring environment where people can dream bigger dreams and spend quality time with family and friends. Frozen yogurt and Coffee are just the cherries on top!

It seems like yesterday we were celebrating our grand opening and it was awesome to celebrate this day with many of those same faces, plus new ones. We have been supported in such a big way and we are thankful for this. We took a huge leap of Faith when we moved from Nashville, TN to Whitefish, MT to open this shop [there are many links that take you through our journey if you click on "grand opening"]…..and know without a doubt that we are planted in this community for a purpose [far beyond what we could ever imagine].

We just wanted to THANK YOU. Whether you are a local, who frequents our cafe or a friend, a family member or someone who saw our episode of House Hunters and reached out to us with an encouraging word…..we appreciate your support.

XOXO,
reed, kelli + ezra

Weekend Adventure

We spent some time dreaming up ideas for the Red Caboose TWO YEAR anniversary! We’re having a party on Wednesday! I’ll for sure blog the festivities later this week! Can’t believe our little shop has been open for two years!

Red Caboose Punch Cards

I just received an exciting package in the mail- from the printer…..our first run of punch cards for our shop! We’ve been open two years now and we are just rolling out a loyalty program. This was something we wanted to do from the beginning, but we focused heavily on social media and promoted Happy Hours [buy one + get one FREE] and Flavor Specials in it’s place. Im excited to see how this goes for us…..

Im loving how these cards turned out….so cute!

We seriously have the best team ever…always have. I love these kids so much!

Weekend Adventure

WEEKEND ADVENTURES // This is a new weekly blog feature. There are two things that make this feature special.
1. The goal is to document a few little moments [real moments- no styling here!] as a family during the weekend with my real camera. I love using my iPhone, but I want to get back to shooting US with my camera.

2. I am holding myself to a Technology Sabbath. I want need to unplug from social media from time to time…and be present with Reed and Ezra…and my friends. I’m not sure how long this Sabbath will be in effect, but I just feel like I need to unplug on the weekends and re-focus my priorities and in return make sweet memories with my family. Life is just too short. Feel free to join me and blog your weekend adventures!

This weekend was Winter Carnival in Whitefish. The theme was “Pirates on Parade”….so Ezra and I sported our Skull apparel, while our employees got into character….so much fun! The streets get shut down right in front of our cafe and there’s live music, food vendors, a massive parade and good time had by all. The weather was absolutely perfect. And by perfect weather, Im talking 44 degrees, blue sky and sunshine!

Ezra entertained the long line of people waiting for lattes and hot chocolates in the shop. He had a good time….our family weekend was a good one.
