Celebrating Small Business Saturday with our Favorite Small Businesses!

Find treasures at Small Businesses like PrimaTea!

If you have been reading for awhile, you know that we love to highlight small businesses. Since today is Small Business Saturday, I thought that we would highlight some of our favorite small businesses that we learned about this year.

Small Businesses truly add special moments to our lives and give us something beyond what more traditional businesses do. Some of my fondest childhood memories are of visiting mom and pops with my grandparents. During our summer visits, we would walk to their town's downtown and visit the dime store, local department store (a chain in a few rural Wisconsin towns) and the town's pharmacy. Do I have particularly fond memories of more commercial ventures--not so much. But, mom and pops have provided many special moments that I will not forget!

This past year, we have had the pleasure of exploring many small businesses either by trying a product or by visiting with the owner. Here is a look:

We began this year with a quaint family baking session with Coggie's Cookies! Coggie's has taken out the guess work of putting together a great cookie recipe. However, you can still capture the moments of baking with your little ones using Coggie's! Read our review of Coggie's to learn about this special cookie mix!
