Happiness In A Cup

Did you know today is National Hot Cocoa Day? I love Hot Cocoa how about you? 

Hot Cocoa is just happiness in a cup. My favorite thing to add to the warming goodness drink is cinnamon. I put a couple of dashes of cinnamon in my drink now. I have my husband hooked on it too, of course marshmallows are a must and on occasion a little peppermint candy cane is nice too. When I was a child, after playing in the snow, my Mom would give us a cup of hot cocoa and toast with cinnamon and sugar. My sister, Lisa and I would typically hate coming inside until we saw what was waiting for us on the table. Now, my Mom's hot cocoa was home made and we just thought it was the bomb!

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups Unsweetened Cocoa (Mom always used Nesquik)
  • 4 cups Powdered Milk (Mom always used Carnation)
  • 3 cups Powdered Sugar
  • 1 cup Non Dairy Creamer
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon of Pure Vanilla Powder
Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Mix with a wire whisk until well combined. Store in an air tight container.

Per Cup

    • 1/3 cup cocoa mix to 3/4 cup of boiling hot water. Mix well. 
    • 2 Tablespoons to 1/4 cup of boiling hot water. Mix well for a small cup.


Do you add anything to your Hot Cocoa?

Many Blessing,

Slow Down - Stay A Little Bit

Repost: March 12, 2017 previous blog Now, I look forward to the season of life I am in. Watching my boys becoming responsible young adults/adults. I love the relationship I have with them but I also miss the days they are little from time to time. Life is definitely changing, always changing.  I love my new position at work.  I am finally getting used to the "normal" hours and I will be able to dedicate a couple of nights to my blogging again and reading my favorite bloggers/friends. In the midst of it all, I have seriously became old ... my body aches so much any more.  I am seeing a doctor to assist with the pain.  The end of March and the beginning of April are my worst time of year.  This year I hope I am able to concentrate on the memories and love of my Dad and concentrate on Emily's baby shower for our new little soon grandchildren. I think I am battling some Empty Nest feelings.  My boys are growing up and they reach out to me very little.  NoNo will be graduating

Pockets of Happiness ~Butterfly Garden

Last year's word was Rebuilding and I definitely began to rebuild loving life again. One of my enjoyments has always been gardening and over the Winter last year a friend of mine directed me to Roots and Refuge YouTube channel. I absolutely loved her garden. Originally, the Summer prior I had to decide to cut back and get rid of some of my beds, so when I told the Mister my plans for expanding the butterfly/hummingbird garden he looked at me as if I was crazy. He saw the sparks in my eyes and went along with  The video below is the progress of the transformation of the Butterfly Garden.  A friend gave me butterfly solar lights knowing how much I love butterflies and how special they to me since my sister's passing.  My favorite spot in my yard,  is a bench my Mother made for me. It sits under a large tree, the bench will be in another post. This garden will transform one more time this Summer. We plan on adding one more bed and two more Arches made from high panels. I can't
