Ignite your day with this money saver

 


Hey there ~ 

Ew it's a rainy Sunday here in Kentucky and maybe this blog will find you well today. I was hoping that since it's so rainy and blah out that you may find interest in this blog post & go to Walmart or where ever you shop and get these ingredients to make this drink! 

Recently, I got my boyfriend, Austin into drinking the pumpkin cream cold brews from Starbucks. Yes, the suga :) in those is probably not the best for you, but it's better than a Monster or a red bull annnnnnnd the milk in this drink might help your calcium levels. :) I'm also glad I got him to try something new for energy! 

Anyways, Austin likes the cold brews from Starbucks, so a few days ago he mentioned that we should try and make our own to save money. So, we researched some cold brew recipes and found a good concoction! We want to share it with you! After researching we thought about making our own cold brew, but that's just an extra step that's not necessary when there is a perfect (already made) cold brew jug you can buy in stores for a good price! Do you know you can save so much more money making your own at home?

Yes, it's getting ready to be super cold outside and a warm drink probably sounds better than an iced one, but Austin doesn't like hot drinks. This one worked for us and if you wanted to you could probably take everything I'm going to tell you about and put it in hot coffee instead of the cold brew. :) I prefer to drink dark cold drinks through a straw anyways to help with prevention of staining on your teeth. 

We may end up brewing our own cold brew eventually! If anyone has any tips on what they do for cold coffee or cold brew let us know! 

Well, I'm going to try and explain the best way to make this drink and may even go LIVE on my facebook later to show you how to make it!

Here's the Walmart ingredients you need: 


The black handle appliance is a $5 frother from Walmart. 

Here's the link to order or just so you can know what to look for at the store:

$5 Milk Frother

You do not need these but they are nice cups to have for your home cold brew or drinks:


These are in stores at Walmart as well! They are $10! Here's the link:

Drinking Glass Set

Okay, so here's how you start making them:


Fill glass halfway with ice of your choice. 


Pour in cold brew into the cup a little over halway.

Pour a slight amount (1-2 TBSPS) of the Chobani sweet cream into the glass. 


Take the frother and mix together about 1/4 cup of milk and 1 tsp of Torani vanilla syrup(sugar free is available too) in a separate cup. Froth it & Pour it over the top of your cold brew. It should have the consistency of cold foam! 


It should look something like this! WALA!!!
It tastes so yummy and let me know if you like it!!!

Hope you all have a great rest of your Sunday! 

XOXO,

 Hey there! As I sit here and write this, my sweet kiddos just left to go to their dads for Christmas and will be there until school starts back in January. I'm looking forward to seeing them soon, but have plenty to do to keep me busy. :) Oh my, this blog post has been a long time coming... Ever since I wrote the blog post about Touching lives and technology, this stuff I'm about to say has been on my mind.  Before I get to that, I'd like to tell you what we've been up to recently though...  As you may know from my LIVE video, I am transitioning back to a stay at home mom. I really enjoy being a stay at home mom and understand it's not for everyone, but recently I've been able to be part of the kids Christmas events at school and it makes me so happy inside. I can't wait to get back to volunteering at their school. Aria asks me all the time, "Mommy- when are you going to be a hot lunch helper again?" :)  Here's some pictures from Aria and Geor...

Hey there! Good morning! I couldn't go back to sleep when I woke up this morning so I thought I'd write this. Oh goodness it's early! I am getting ready to head into the dental office. My first patient is at 7:00 A.M. Up and at 'em!   I'm filling in a few days for my good friend and hygienist, Stacy this summa, so she can be present with her 3 kids. In her dental operatory she has the cutest photo frame that her kid(s) made her! It says on the frame that she is the best mom ever with a picture of her three kids. So precious.  Thanks Beaumont Family Dentistry for allowing us to do what we do and be mommas. I know not all can take time off but I love how others can work together to make things happen.  On another note- this rain has got to GO here in KY(haha) Under my deck & Trampoline it's so muddy and my dog choses to just roll in it all the time!  Okay, lets get to the point of this blog title! I truly think there are 5 secrets to a beautiful smile and that...
