The Southern Sweets Dessert Company in Cape Girardeau Mo

I know it does not come to a shock to you all that in our house we have love for sweets, well maybe not Momma so much as those rotten sweet tooth sidekicks of mine!

Last fall the kids and I stumbled upon this cute little ice cream parlor located in the Spanish Street Mercantile on Spanish Street in Downtown Cape Girardeau.  Well we have waited to give this little shop a proper food review until we have thoroughly tested the joint over and over and over….okay we became addicted to the place. 

Yesterday we were Downtown bumming around, stopped off at the little shop one more time, and we decided it was time to give our favorite Ice Cream Parlor a review.  Except this little Ice Cream Parlor is no longer just a little Ice Cream Parlor…..Eeeek They have EXPANDED & renamed themselves The Southern Sweets Dessert Company.  This brings a completely new problem to the table for us!  We have just thoroughly investigated, tasted, and fell in love with their Homemade Ice Cream, and now they have added in a completely new menu! 

The Southern Sweets Dessert Company now offers dessert bread, cookies, muffins, candies, cakes, pies, and coming soon homemade soups and sandwiches.  I can go on and on about how yummy their food is, how fun their shop is, and how great their service is, but you would think is obvious if we continue to go back.

  

The Southern Sweets Dessert Company is located 26 N Spanish St Mercantile in Downtown Cape Girardeau; you can visit their website for a complete menu.

Cape Giradeau Missouri at Sunrise

To my own shame I woke up extremely early this morning unable to go back to sleep, the truth is I miss my kiddos like crazy.  This morning I made the best of it and headed to Downtown Cape Girardeau, MO to catch the sunrise over the Mississippi River.  There is nothing more breath taking than a peaceful morning, and there was a sweet reminder of my little man as I watched a tugboat come down river….I could faintly hear in the back of my head his squeals of excitement. 

I leave you this morning with a bit of Cape Girardeau Missouri Eye Candy and this Bible Verse, that was gentle reminder to me that this better days ahead!  

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope."  Jeremiah 29:11

Shopping Downtown Cape Girardeau Missouri

In my latest transformation from "married" momma to "single" momma, my eldest sister has a mission to teach me to be more "frugal".  I have always been "frugal" but I have never truly been a HUGE Thrift store shopper.  I would occasionally head downtown with the kids or the family and do some antique shopping, but nothing intense.  Well to my surprise, my sister happens to be a Thrift Store Diva...she hunts down the bargains, knows for the good loot, and is a mad case of "I gotta get the good stuff".

Today she buzzed me, she had a few errands to run in Cape Giradeau and so did I, so we decided we would stop off at a few of the Downtown Stores and do some shopping.  I mostly windowed shopped today, but I made notes for my future shopping expeditions...okay really I photo-logged everything that caught my eye!  

Our first stop was The Semo Safe House Thrift Store , my love for this place is all profit goes back to help local folks in our community.  Let us face it life can be tough and sometimes you just need a helping hand, well this place is a helping hand!  I snapped pictures of while visiting...my sister, however, walked out with a bag of goodies, some for my kiddos.  Ha Ha she said they were in "need"!
