It's summer. The kids are home. Schedules are pretty open. We're home a lot. We're all in the house. . . together . . . a lot. There's a lot of noise and activity in the house. There's a lot of energy. Did I mention the kids are home?
I've a new addiction to help me over the hump in the middle of the day . . .
Hey I could have turned to this, don't think it hasn't crossed my mind. Many a time.
I've turned to this. It's a good friend - we know each other well
Or on those really bad days it's this. . . usually hiding out somewhere in the house trying to make my 10th one look like I'm just nursing my first.
All those are great, I won't totally forget about them, but this is the dude to beat now. . . Iced Coffee.
A few days ago I read a recipe from my favorite blogger (though she's practically an industry now), Pioneer Woman. I could go on and on about how much I love her, her food, her family, her photography, her books, her bassets especially, but yesterday I fell for her Iced Coffee. If you're not a coffee fan, this won't impress you, so just skip ahead to the challenge below. I've tried the Iced Coffee from Hot Coffee route - huge disappointment. So Wednesday I set out to try her version. Super simple. I "uncorked" it this morning and was in heaven. I told myself it'd be a treat. A mid-afternoon treat - remember my kids are home. I prepared it with her suggested Sweetened Condensed Milk and OH-MY-HECK! Happy End-of-Day to me! I'm already counting down to this afternoon's.
That's my inspiration to finish the day. Here's yours to finish a layout.
1 sheet cardstock
1 sheet patterned paper
1 note/journaling card
1 set of buttons
1 something round
Remember other than journaling and a title, the above ingredients are all you can have on your layout. Get it linked up by Sunday evening to be eligible for Treats on Monday.
Happy Iced-Coffee Friday.
