I know I talk a lot about life and how grand it is. Sure, we have our downs but I prefer to focus on the blessings that each day brings. Latly there have been many. Yesterday was beautiful in every way. There is nothing that I love more than being able to stay home and raise Kate and take care of my sweet husband. There is nothing better than this. To share every minute with Kate, catch every smile and hear every squeal is what makes waking up every morning so exciting. We have been spending our days rolling over, reading, singing, praying, taking walks, running errands, playing at Disneyland, eating veggies (squash is her favorite), and taking lots and lots of naps. Our girl is a napper! She needs lots of sleep. Hmmm, I wonder who she gets that from! :) Yesterday she took a 2 hour and 45 minute nap. Amazing. I finally had to wake her up because I wanted to play and needed to run to Trader Joes to make a delicious dinner inspired by Paul Deen. Dinner ended up being wonderful and Kate was my little helper. She was on my hip while I whipped it together. I am so crazy about this little girl. Every day we fall more and more in love. Besides getting married, deciding to start a family was the best decision Chris and I have ever made. Our life was great before Kate but now it is so beautiful. We wouldn't change a single thing, not one. Not sure how life can get any better than this....
When Chris and I went to Mexico this past winter we quickly become addicted to their blended espressos. I found myself craving them when we got home so I played around with a couple of instant espressos and ended up making the best iced coffee, ever. What you’ll need. Medaglia D’oro instant espresso Water Ice Coffee creamer of your choice Heavy cream + caramel Trust me on the instant espresso. I tried them all. This is the best. I get it at Kroger. I’ve also heard Walmart carries it as well as trusty amazon. Step one. Get your ingredients out. I fill my glass up halfway with water and pour a capful of instant espresso in. Mix it real good. Time to cool it down. Now comes the sweet part. This next step is money. Lordy. If you’re feeling really naughty you can add caramel sauce. Do it. If you’ve been wanting the recipe for the BEST homemade caramel ever then you’re in luck. This is the recipe from my mother in law. It is life changing. Ta-Da! Tag me on Instagram at
