life as of late

This week has flown by, for goodness sakes it November already and I live in Canada and we still have no snow! I'm not complaining but its weird. I have never had a birthday without snow so we will see if this is the year. I still have a couple weeks but we have been having +13 weather as of late.
Halloween was such fun i hung out with great friends and dressed up as Pocahontas. Even though its been nice out I still love curling up with a cup of tea and a blanket, its just that time of year.
it is also the time to bake, bake, bake
if you have been looking at my 25 by 25 list i am trying to do a year of handmade gifts, Christmas is posing to be difficult for this but i'm trying to find time to make something for everyone in my big family....my attempt at an i phone snuggie I found these cuties the other dayAnd you know me i always have to have a sky picture
Blessings,
Amber

coconut latte

the other day i got a coconut latte
y.u.m....
i usually stick to the same three: caramel, chai, and pumpkin spice (for this time of year)
well i went out of my comfort zone and tried something new and it was so yummy!!

i tried to make my own version at home.
toast up some coconut
make some yummy espresso
set the toasted coconut aside
warm up some milk or soy milk and froth it
- my frothers batteries are dead so i whisked the heck out of it
you can also add sugar or honey if you like

pour it into a mug and top with coconut and enjoy!!
