Coconator {this one is for kellie and dan}

While we lived in Hawaii, there wouldn't be a trip up to the North Shore without stopping at at Haleiwa for some coffee. There is a little shop there called the Coffee Gallery. It's in a little strip mall that is full of fantastic shops that include some jewelry, glass blowing, and framed art, to just name a few. They roast coffee there, as well, which reminded me of  my favorite hometown coffee shop, the Sturgis Coffee Company. And boy, oh boy, did it relieve some of the home-sickness I was feeling those first couple months.

Anyway, this coffee shop, the Coffee Gallery, had a coffee concoction that I grew to love. It was called the Coconator. The flavor left my mouth wanting more, which is why I returned nearly every day. And this is why this post is for {kellie and dan}.

{kellie and dan} went to Hawaii two? years ago, and I asked them to please go to the coffee shop in Haleiwa and get a Coconator for me. And they did just that. Nearly. Every. Single. Day. And when they got home they purchased an expresso espresso machine to figure out how to make it. While they got their recipe to be exact... I continued to hear about it... f.o.r.e.v.e.r.  About how it is costing, and calories they are consuming because "I" got them hooked on the Coconator.

Well, girlfriend, I have found an answer to your prayers. NOT only will it alleviate your calorie intake, you will love it, just the same. AND it is a little easier on the pocketbook.

With this whole clean eating, I have been trying things that are new. I don't like soy milk that well... because let's be honest. It tastes like {$h!t}. But as I was looking at my options, I came across Pure Coconut Milk from Silk. I am prepared to take the blame on this puppy, if you get hooked.

I add 1/4 cup {20 cals} with two tbs of chocolate syrup {100 cals}, and 1 tbs of French vanilla creamer {30 cals} to my coffee, which varies between Kona and Sturgis Coffee.



So there you go, my friend. No more blaming me for your addiction that is high calorie. ;o)





I hope you enjoy! 

be blessed!

Ornamental Weekend

Hey Folks!

Did you remember the time change? What a GREAT blessing it was to be able to sleep in a little longer! I feel so rejuvenated!

This weekend I worked on getting the upstairs a little more situated as I went through boxes, condensed, put away, and threw away. It feels great to be a little more closer to being done.

After I felt I had accomplished enough for the weekend, I started working on additional Christmas Ornaments for our ornament exchange.

What do you think? They are the first ones I've done, so they will get better as I go along. I also am waiting for red felt, but it might be next weekend when I can get it.

What did you do this weekend?

be blessed

I came across a quote yesterday while perusing Pinterest. You ever have an AH-HA moment while searching that site? You can find the pin on my Truth Be Told board.

Here is mine I chalked yesterday.

Thank you for sharing, BW.

Happy Saturday!

NaBloPoMo

Today is the start of NaBloPoMo, which stands for National Blog Posting Month. It's a challenge to write a post every. single. day.  And since I've been at a stand-still, I thought I would do it.

If you have ever read my blog, it consists of RANDOMNESS. I am not one who targets a specific audience. So, if you like to never know what you're gunna get, follow along, won't you?

This morning I went outside to meet Sarah and looked to the south west and saw this beautiful heart. (Read about her sons and you will understand why it's so fitting.) I have the privilage of watching Carsyn while she goes on a fieldtrip with her other son.

With Christmas nearing, I will be working on my ornament exchange project, so come back and check that out!

Until tomorrow....

be blessed!
