Homemade Mocha Frap!!!

Confession time...I have never set foot into a Starbucks. Weird! Right?! Well I have tried McDonalds Fraps and really didn't care for them, but I like the idea of it. I do love Sonic's Java Chillers, but HELLO CALORIES!!! So I searched the web for a recipe, found a few and then made it my own...

Homemade Mocha Frap

1 cup chilled strong brew coffee
(I used half coffee and half espresso, that I found at Krogers for $2.50 a can)
1 cup 2% milk
2 tablespoons sugar
1 large squeeze of chocolate syrup (or whatever flavor you like)

add all these together in the blender and mix for about 1 minute. This dissolves the sugar and makes it fluffy!!!

Then add about two cups of ice (crushed works better) and blend or you could just pour it over ice cubes, if that's your thing!!!

I also add these little shots of caffinee that I found at Wal-mart (like the espresso isn't enough). They're called Stok and they're sold in the coffee aisle. They're like 24 for $2.50!!! This momma needs all the energy she can get!

This recipe makes two large servings!!! It's soooooo yummy!!!

Hope y'all have a great Thursday!!!

Gettin' Crafty

Saturday we headed to Hobby Lobby to pick up a few things for me to finish up some craft projects that I've been wanting to do. The first were some decorative plates. I had found some really cool plate chargers on sale at Michael's for $.99, so I picked up two red ones and two gold ones (the only ones they actually had left)!!! And this is what I turned them into...

(I'll post the other two when I post my Valentine decorations. They are super cute!!!)

Then I decide to add a cross to a plate I already had in the hall cubbie.


The cross really does match even though it looks like a different color in the picture. Then I bought a cross to put in a shadow box I found at Goodwill. I added some light blue paper for the backing, but I'm not sure if it's a keeper yet. I was wanting to hang it in the master bedroom, but I'm just not sure!!!


I also busted out this headband since I was in a Valentine mood!


I also finished up my Valentine wreath (post to come) and it turned out adorable! Thanks for letting me share some of my craft projects. I've never been real crafty. I guess I've been inspired from all these lovely craft blogs that I've been reading lately! Hope y'all have a great Wednesday!!!

A Fun Shower!

This weekend we went to our friends Kevin & Laura's wedding shower. They getting married on February 19th which is actually me & Justin's 11th anniversary! So I'm super excited about it!


They had a beautiful cake and we played a version of the Newlywed Game. Kevin & Laura beat me & Justin. Ha! My excuse was the questions were too confusing!!!


After the shower we headed to Hobby Lobby with Tony & Amanda. I had to pick up some items for some projects I've been working on. We had fun goofing off in the store!!!


Then we headed to Olive Garden to eat and headed back home. Justin wasn't feeling well and was asleep before 9. So I decided to get my "craft" on (I'll share some of my projects later this week)!!! Hope y'all had a great weekend & happy Tuesday!!!

A Busy Week

Good Lawd it's been a busy week. I haven't been on here since Monday. I feel like such a bad blogger!!! Tuesday I went to use some of my gift cards I got for my birthday. I went to Kohls and got me some really cute black boots. Then I headed to Goodwill (I heart that place!) and I got 4 shirts, a denim jacket, a pair of skinny jeans and some Valentine decor. Did I mention I love that place!!! Ha!!!


Wednesday I met up with my friend Crystal and her 1 year old son Gavin at Gringos(I heart this place too)!!! I had such a great time. Anytime there is adult conversation plus Cactus Juice (Gringos signature drink) is a good time in my book!


Then yesterday I was supposed to go to the doctor, but instead I woke up to the worst mess in my kitchen. I brand new gallon bottle of vegetable oil decide to jump off the the shelf it was on and make a mess on my pantry floor. So needless to say I spent the whole day cleaning it up. NO FUN!!! When Jaxon and Ethan got home from school we headed to Jonathan's basketball game. They didn't win, but he played awesome, like always!


Today I ran some errands, bought a gift for a bridal shower we're going to tomorrow and did some Valentine crafts (I'll post about those in a couple of days). Oh I almost forgot to mention that our washer broke too this week! See I told you it was a crazy week!!! Hope y'all have a great Friday and a great weekend!!!

HATtie's Party!!!

This Saturday night we had my birthday party. It was sooooooooooo much fun. It was a "hat" party and everyone was supposed to wear a hat.


My favorite was Justin's brother Tony's. He got it in Galveston earlier that day!!!


So many of our close friends and new friends came to celebrate. It meant so much to me. I even got some really great gifts. There was some really interesting dancing going on and a ton of laughs!!!


I've had a pretty amazing birthday this year. I am loving 2011 so far. I can't wait to see what the rest of the year will bring. Hope y'all had an amazing weekend and happy Monday!!!
