I really dislike a lot of things about our house. I complain more often than I should (really get on Hubs nerves). When we first moved in, we (or rather I) had lots of plans for improvement. It didn't happen the way I planned, but what usually does. This is our laundry room/ back entrance. The door that most visitors come through and the first thing you see. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

What better to solve this problem than a mocha. I don't get away from the house very often, so my Starbucks are few and far between. I found a pretty good alternative. It had to be really fast and super easy to make the cut around here.<br />
Step 1: heat a mug of water in the microwave<br />
Step 2: toss some instant brew in you mug (don't cringe it is better than you think)<br />
Step 3: a good squeeze (or maybe 2) of chocolate syrup<br />
Step 4: a spoon of dry milk ( all the creamy without the cool down)<br />

The kiddos caught something and then I had it. This only reinforces the knowledge that you have to constantly work a house or it just collapses and you are left in total dismay. I do not keep an organized house to begin with and it has been work to even get back to where it was a few short days ago. Hey, it takes a lot of work to maintain this level of disarray!Ashleehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04442025284580321062noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8201247929863612572.post-80607963720038178772011-05-10T18:58:00.000-07:002011-05-10T18:58:34.297-07:00Mom = Love<span style="color: #45818e;">A mother holds her children's hands for a while...their hearts forever.<br />

I have no idea what I am doing and that means nada! I have loved several blogs for so long and it is my hope to be able to share some fun stuff in blogland. I am surely doing this for myself now. As I grow some confidence and learn what I am doing I will share this site with someone I know to see what they think. Let the fun flow...Ashleehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04442025284580321062noreply@blogger.com1
