Kate came down with her first cold this week. It's so sad. She can hardly breathe out her nose, she sneezes non-stop and her eye water so much it looks like she is crying. We are doing everything we can to get her better and enjoying this snuggle time. It's so frustrating because we have tried so hard to keep her away from people who are sick and haven't been taking her places where there are lots of germs. Oh well, it was bound to happen sooner or later. She has such a great attitude. Never cries (only when I'm cleaning out her nose!), giving us lots of smiles, songs and conversations. I've been keeping her in the "nap nanny" for naps and after she eats to help everything drain. That thing is wonderful. She is napping in it now. Chris and I are also fighting this off. He is home from work today crashed on the couch and I am fighting it along with keeping the house going and taking care of everyone. It should be a rule: moms are not allowed to get sick! It's hard because someone has to go buy food, keep the laundry going, wash the dishes, make meals, take care of the kitten, yadda yadda yadda. I will be joyful through this and take care of my family and pray that I do not get any worse than I am so I can continue to serve them. Hope you all are staying well. Wash those hands!

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
