Seasons of Life in Union...

Feeling a bit nostalgic as I clean through photo files... and the thing that comes to mind is how the seasons spent in Union have helped shape my daughter's life (and mine).

Playing in the fall leaves...

Enjoying that first taste of Spring at the park...

That first experience swimming in the Bourbese River during the lazy days of summer...

The first time going "solo" on a saucer in winter...

All those moments and memories of each "season" of life have happened right here in Union, Missouri. If you're like me, you've found it to be a pretty good place to raise your kid, or maybe you found it a good place to grow up because you were raised here... 

Union, afterall, is a great place to "experience" during any season...as our blog's title states. I hope you make some great memories each season of your life and of the year right here in Union, Missouri.

Union's "Little Treat"

Meet Cassie of A Little Treat. Cassie is a born and raised "Unionite", operating a small baking business out of her home.   "I fell in love with baking when I was a child but now that I am an adult I became more and more interested in it!  I stumbled upon a book about cake pops and now the rest is history."

What is a cake pop?  It is candy or chocolate coated cake on a lollipop stick.  Yum!

They start as little balls of cake ... and end up as a candy coated treasure!

A Little Treat specializes in small treats such as cake pops, truffles and brownie bites.  Cassie's dream is to one day to have a bakery with all things small and sweet!

Perfect designs for your holiday and seasonal get-togethers!

She does special events too!

Small treats galore!  Truffles, Boston Cream Pies, Cake Balls, Chocolate Strawberries and more!

Please visit her blog at for some fun recipes, more info about Cassie.  She has photos of different pops that she has made that are available to order.  You can also follow A Little Treat on Facebook and Twitter to stay updated on the latest treats!
