Homemade Hot Chocolate Using a Bakers Chocolate Block | Recipe

A while back, the hubby was gifted a nice chunk of a chocolate bakers block. It was hard as a rock and we didn’t quite know what to do with it since neither one of us are great cooks or bakers. So we took to the internet and found an awesome Homemade Hot Chocolate recipe […]

A Year In Review | 2014

If you ask me, 2014 went by pretty darn quickly! It feels like I blinked and even the Holiday season was gone. But here we are in lovely 2015, hoping it’ll bring us much happiness and personal growth. Going back through the pictures, I realized how many “firsts” I’ve had over the last year, such […]

January Favorites

I’ve decided to add another category to the blog – my monthly favorites – and even though we’re nearing the end of February, it would sort of drive me bonkers if I didn’t start with January. I enjoy watching “Monthly Favorites” themed videos on Youtube, mainly because you discover new products to enjoy or see […]
