Cinnamon-Almond Hot Cocoa

Wednesday, March 20, 2013

If you follow me on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter, you may have noticed that I was a little quieter over the last few days than usual. It’s because of sheer exhaustion. You guys just don’t even know. My house wants me to be crazy. Last night, I got my first good night’s sleep in about four ...

Gingerbread Hot Cocoa

Thursday, December 13, 2012

It’s embarrassing confession time. First of all, I think today is National Hot Cocoa Day. It might have been yesterday. Whatever. As far as I’m concerned, it’s every day, so I’m celebrating. More embarrassing, though, I’m about to reveal to you all how low my level of self control actually is. Prepare yourselves. It’s shockingly ...

S’mores Week: S’more Mocha Frappuccino

Wednesday, July 11, 2012

The Hubster has been kinda grouchy the last couple of days. Don’t tell him I told you this, but it’s my fault. Actually, it’s my friend Kristan’s fault, because she told me about this blog that I’ve been reading late into the night while the Hubster sleeps lately. It’s called Brittany.

Tuesday, June 5, 2012

Have I told you that I’m heading up to the airport today to pick up a friend who is my very first visitor since moving to Oregon? And that we’ve never met IRL (in real life) before? And that we’re totally going to Forks, WA to investigate the claims that vampires and werewolves exist? No? ...
