simple pleasures

Right now life is so good because of a little hot chocolate, novelty weather and observing kids getting to pet the stringrays for the first time. It's funny that sometimes it is those little things that are most satisfying.

I love that Dutch Brothers makes hot chocolate for kids that is not too hot and comes equipped with whipped cream on top of the straw. We are going back for more today for sure. Weaning oneself off of sugar is over-rated, right? Except if I was being honest I never felt better when I stopped eating sugar for a spell a little over a year ago.

Have a happy last couple of days in 2010.

P.S. - For the few of you wanting to see the squash blossom necklace, there you go. It's a handcrafted beaut if I do say so myself. Bonus points to the husband for pulling off one of the biggest surprises.

  8. Merry New year! My mother has a squash blossom necklace that she has owned since the 70's. It's a very valuable piece and she gets stopped all the time when she wears it. My aunt used to own a shop in Sapulpa, OK named Mister Indian. She bought a lot of silver and stones from the Cherokees and she also specialized in rodeo queen outfits and custom made, hand beaded belts. Her things were unbelievable.

  12. I have been reading your blog for awhile now and was super excited to see a dutch bros coffee cup. You must live somewhat near me :) I can't get enough of their ice kickers. My husband used to work at one and our good friends own one as well. Yay for DB :)

    Thanks for entertaining me in the mornings :)
