Liquid Crack

Unlike most, I am NOT a coffee drinker. Lets just pause for a moment so everyone can gasp, fall out of their chairs, or whatever else you need to do while you process this. I've never liked coffee, even the smell makes me gag. Everyone told me I'd love it by the time I was "an adult" but here I am (I'm pretty sure 30 counts as an adult) and I still can't stand it. 

While I don't like coffee, I do love hot tea. My most recent obsession is this....

I'm always a little concerned with premixed drinks like this, but oh.my.word!  I'm hooked and so in love!  I prefer about 1/3 of the concentrate and 2/3 milk so it's not quite so sweet....heat it up and ENJOY!!!

Family Beach Vacay (Again)

My family has been going on a week trip to Emerald Isle since I was 3. We've stayed in the same house every year with the exception of maybe 2 years.  It got harder to go the full week as I got older, but I always try to go at least a few days each year.  We can't go the entire week since we do our own family trip to Ocracoke but Peyton has been going since she was 3 months old :-)

This year Peyton and I headed down on Wednesday morning and stayed through Sunday. The hubby had to work but was able to make it down Thurs - Sun.   

The weather was absolutely perfect and we had a blast!  I'm hoping for maybe 1 more beach weekend this summer...I'm such a beach bum!
