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

Erin Wolford - Hi Kelli, I came across your blog through ‘A Beautiful Mess’. As soon as I saw your picture I felt like I knew you, but couldn’t figure out how! It was driving me crazy. I was trying to think back to my past and all of the people I’ve met and have known over the years… but, then I saw photos of your coffee shop and realized you look familiar to me because I saw you on House Hunters! Ha,I felt pretty silly after that. Regardless, I am happy to have accidentally discovered your blog. You take lovely photos and have a beautiful little family. Maybe one day I will have a chance to visit and meet you for real. 🙂

March Desktop Download

Are we really at the start of a new month?

I’m really loving this collaboration series with Ashley…and every month seems to be a new favorite and then the next month comes along and I love that desktop. This month is no exception….

The Easter season means so much to me. It’s the core of my Faith. It’s everything.

As Ashley and I were dreaming up our idea and concept for this months download- we ended up watching a teaching by Francis Chan. He spoke how POWERFUL Jesus is, yet many paintings and illustrations of Him are portrayed as an ordinary and wimpy. This is quite the opposite of who He is. Jesus is POWER.

Easter represents LIFE. Light over darkness….triumph over defeat…and best of all….freedom from chains.

I hope you are encouraged by this desktop…..

XOXO

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!

Weekend Adventure

Another sweet-sweet weekend together. Momma lead worship at Church again…and the boys had their bonding time, but we did enjoy coffee [a latte for me & an americano for him], quiet time, lunch at a cute bistro and the beautiful scene of fresh snow that fell on Friday night.

I love feeling like a tourist as I whip out my camera as I document bits of our weekend. I also love taking photos for myself and for my family. This series is definitely sparking a new love of photography for me….and it’s exciting!
