As you may or may not be aware, Earth Day is just around the corner. But we bet you didn’t know that this year is the 40th anniversary of the holiday. Efforts to make our lives more eco friendly by developing new ways to preserve the earth (think three R’s – reduce, reuse, recycle) have really ramped up in the last few years. We think this enthusiasm will help continue to boost the prominence of Earth Day and its message of environmental awareness. This year’s Earth Day is poised to be one of the biggest, most widely celebrated yet.

On my way to work this morning I heard a Weight Watchers ad for their “New Year’s” discount that they’re offering this spring. I’m not plugging the company or anything, but I have to say, it’s a great idea. Losing weight is probably one of the top New Year’s resolutions, but the number of people that successfully start their weight loss plan on January 1st is tiny because it’s so hard to get motivated to exercise when it’s cold and gray outside. What better time to start exercising than when spring has sprung. Warm, sunny weather makes everything seem more fun … even exercising.

Companion Baking now has on-line ordering so you can order what you want and have it ready for you when you come into one of the 3 locations.  We tried it last week and it worked great.  Let us know what you think.

Sure we did their site, but I have got to tell you, Companion's new website does so many things right.  It has great content, a great blog, live Twitter feeds, recipes, videos, photos...and coming soon is an on-line ordering system.  Now the site reflects the collaborative relationship Companion has -- and wants -- with its customers.
