Best Iced Mocha Ever!



One of my favorite iced drinks in the summer is my iced mocha!!! 


Here is how to create this delicious drink...


*Get out your blender and put about two cups of water in it.


*Next add some Caffe D'Vita (There are no real measurements for this drink. It all depends on how sweet you want it. So...experiment!) I put in a little over 1/2 cup.



*Next add 1 can of evaporated milk.




*Then a splash of Vanilla Syrup.




*Add ice, and blend.






mhmhmhhmm YUM! Finally top it off with some whipped cream!




Also if you are feeling really sweet, top off the whipped cream with caramel or swirl the inside of the cup with chocolate! Ta-da DELICIOUS!!!  



It might not look as pretty as this but it taste just as good (in my opinion) and is way cheaper!!!

My Hair



Twisty Hair!!!! I found this hair style on Pinterest and HAD to try it. I thought it turned out pretty cute...What do you think?


I just sprayed my hair with a spray bottle, twisted, and bobby pinned. It's that simple!!! It only took me a few minutes but it was about 24 bobby pins later that this cute hairstyle was created! :)


Try it out...it might become your favorite "go to" hairstyle!

Happy Easter


HE IS RISEN...HE IS RISEN INDEED!!!!!
Happy Easter everyone! I love Easter because it is such an amazing reminder of God's love and faithfulness to us. Jesus Christ died on the cross for my sins and conquered death by rising from the dead in victory! Jesus became the bridge that crossed the great divide. He made a way for us to spend eternity in heaven with Him. Praise the Lord. What a loving Savior we have. 

In my family, we love tradition. My mom has started so many fun traditions that we do every year for Easter. I wanted to share some of the fun things that we do every year that help us remember Christ's sacrifice.


One of our favorite traditions is our EASTER GARDEN.

What you will need...


* Three crosses
* A cup
* A plastic container
* A round rock
1. Fill the container with dirt 
2. Bury the cup in the dirt with the hole showing
3. soak some wheat berries in water for about 30 min 


4. Next cover the dirt with the wheat berries
5. Finally Stick the three crosses over the cup and set the rock on the side

Your garden should look like this...


Start your garden about 2 weaks before Easter so it can grow beautiful grass. Spray it with a spray bottle several times a day.

On Good Friday wrap "Jesus" up in grave clothes and lay Him in the tomb. Then on Easter morning roll the stone away and take "Jesus" out. Put an angel in His place and read the Easter story together as a family!!!
