Recipe: Kahlua Peppermint Mocha Hot Chocolate
Kahlua Peppermint Mocha Hot Chocolate is the best kind of beverage to enjoy on a chilly day! As much as I don’t enjoy winter, I do have to say I love hot, cozy beverages. You can’t really truly enjoy a hot chocolate in the middle of the summer, unless you try a frozen hot chocolate,…
Friday Night and Spiced Chai Tea Latte
This is my Friday night. A spiced chai tea latte with a little indulgent whipped cream, a stack of books to choose from, candles lit, and three sweet girls lying on the floor of my room engrossed in a Disney movie. The boys are out on the town at a baseball game, and at 6:30pm…

Almost Like Butterbeer from Harry Potter
I think I am one of the few people in the universe who has not read the Harry Potter series. Although I love to read, I have commitment issues when it comes to reading books, and a whole series is just more than my ADD attention span can handle.
