Hot Chocolate Maker, A Little Sip Of Heaven

Since I am still trying to get a rutine down for myself things have been kind of crazy these last few months. I don't really have days set aside for crafts, reading, or working out; I just kind of take things as they come, but I have really been wanting to work on that. I have been wanting/trying/hoping to set some time aside for a little more "me" time.

I can't jump in my car like before and spend hours taking photos. Go to the open labs and use their dark rooms. Or even get on my bike and ride for hours in the mountains. So until Lucy is older and I can take her to do these things....OR...afford a babysitter. I have found new things to look forward to.

HOT CHOCOLATE

I love hot chocolate. I mean it...I really love hot chocolate! One of the things I love to do everyday is as soon as I put Lucy down for her first nap I use my hot chocolate maker. When I was single I had seen these machines before, but never bought one. But then, I got married and was able to enjoy my Bed Bath and Beyond gift cards for their fullest and got me a Hot Cocoa maker. It has been heaven since!

Seriously, this little machine is a blessings from the heavens above! It can take any crappy brand of coco and turn it into liquid bliss! I have loved this rutine so much that I have made it a daily thing...actually maybe I have made it a twice a day thing....please don't judge me :)

So for all of you hot cholocate conesieurs out there! Go out and get one of these beauties! Have the machine mix and heat you coco for you, then use the foam button the froth it up, pour your self a mug, sit on the couch, and soak up the moment!!!

  2. That looks really good! It has to be better than the hot chocolate I make for the kids from the packet.

  3. Yummm...

    I know what you mean about not being able to pursue your passions. I had to put several away for a while, like reading. But now that Emma is getting older, I find little bits of time for things. :-)

  14. Oh maaaan. Somehow hot chocolate just makes everything better, doesn't it? One of those small pleasures you can always make a little time for, even if you don't have time to take on some bigger things at the moment.
