Hot, Hot, Hot... Hot Chocolate!!!

Here we only have one rule, never, ever let it cool!!!
hot, hot, hot... hot chocolate!!! :)

A quote from a favorite movie around here, Polar Express, and the inspiration to create a........

Hot chocolate/tea/coffee bar.

The front porch of my home is quite cold in the winter, it's not heated. But during the late morning , until about mid-afternoon the sun is shining brightly in there, making the room a pleasant, warm place to hang out. We will read, or play games, or just sit and talk. We love this room!!
Soooo, after blog hopping and seeing so many neat ideas for a hot chocolate bar, I decided to create my own. And it's located on the front porch.. It creates a neat place for us to hang out as a family and make a little warm drink, without having to be out of the room. My husband is loving it, and so are the kiddos. I'm looking forward to see what guests think, when they come in. :)




The Keurig, can be used without a cup in it, just allow the hot water to run into your mug and add instant whatever to it!



The pink and white marshmallows are peppermint, and in the other jar is a Russian Tea Mix...

Hubby was in an accident....

Proverbs 31 11 Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. 12 She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life. The blaring ring of the phone woke me on Tuesday morning... 7:15am... I knew as soon as I looked at the clock, something was wrong. No one calls here that early.. I quickly peel a child out of my arms and trying to not wake her, before the phone does. She had a restless night. "hello" in a whisper.. as I was still in my bedroom. Walking out of my room, I hear my darling hubbys nervous voice, "I was in an accident" Me, "Are you ok"... Him, "yes" Me" do you need me to come?" Him, "no, I'll call you" He explained what happened. His company truck was pretty messed up, and the air bags went off. He said he had some airbag burn, felt ok, just stressed. Next call I got was from him in the police car, the officer was kind enough to drop him off at work. The convers...

Cool Temps = Warm Meals

Image
  One of my favorite things to do on a cold crisp day is cooking and baking. Something about the smell of onions, carrots, and celery sauteing up brings a sense of home. And remind me powerfully of my grandmother. The memories of being in her home and feeling her love are all tied to food, where she spent the bulk of her time. Preparing nourishing meals for her family.  When we take the time to prepare meals, we show love to our family. Tonight, I made a Potatoe, Bacon, Cheddar, and Good Ol' Fashion Chicken Noodle.
