Hot Chocolate on a Stick

 Last year I discovered the hot chocolate on a stick concept and fell in love!

I have since been making my own and using it not only for myself, but also serving it for guests.
They are super easy to make and are always a guaranteed hit for the family and friends.

The best part of making your own hot chocolate on a stick is that you can choose exactly what flavours you want combine. Are you a fan of dark chocolate or are you more a milk chocolate fan? Do you like a twist of caramel or are you more of a coffee kinda girl? The options are endless.



Here is how I made my basic hot chocolate on a stick:

Ingredients
-Half a cup of warm whipped milk
-1 cup of Chocolate
-2 tbsp of Nesquik

Place the mixture in little ramekins and let the mixture set in the freezer overnight. You can also add condensed milk and allow mixture to sit out overnight. I like putting them in the freezer, as it also turns into little delicious chocolate ice cream bites.

Pumpkin Decoration

One of the best ways to get in the spirit of halloween is by decorating pumpkins.

There are many ways in which you can decorate your pumpkin, other than the traditional square eyes and mouth carvings. Today you can find pumpkins in all kinds of colours and shapes, with a variety of creative carvings. It is a great weekend project for you and for the kids.

Day Bed


I recently visited a friend and she showed me her new day bed. I loved the idea of having a little day bed, which sole purpose was for relaxing time. So if she or her children were on the couch, the rest of the family respected the persons time out from the house and world.

Since my visit, I have been introduced to many different ways in which you could not only make your own day bed, but ways in which you could set them up and even hang them.

So here are a few ideas of how you could set up a day bed in your home:
