My New Boots!

I'v always loved the Uggs with the button on them, but the price? Not so much. I found a solution finally!

They are durable, comfy and most of all CUTE AS A BUTTON! Okay, sorry about that button pun, haha. I consider these a real gem. I had gotten a black pair of faux Uggs from Wet Seal once and well they fell apart completely and had ZERO support. 

One pair I had gotten at age 15 were pink, from Payless.. the brand Air Walk (they still carry it) and they have STILL held up and are SO comfortable and supportive! Just ugly from being worn so much. ;) I was very happy to find that these babies were just as great as the Payless pair.. only WAY more cute!  I got them from American Eagle for around 40 which isn't bad at all considering they are so durable and cute. And compared with all the other boot prices. Yes you can find some for 20 and cheaper, but unless that's a sale price.. I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT! Exhibit A- my torn up boots from Wet Seal. Seriously, they are so broken from only wearing them a few months. A hugs disappointment. I definitely say you need to pay at least 35 unless they are on sale. Boots are an investment. However, I am not one to fork out 180 for a name. 

Anywho, if you like THESE boots (they come in other colors too!) or are interested in finding something similar in a different style- I completely suggest American Eagle.  You can find them HERE!

 

Pumpkin, Spice and Everything Nice

Take a look at this beauty!

Seasonally available, this scrumptious Pumpkin Spice Latte is now my current favorite/addiction. The indulgence of my choice! how saw that I took so long to try it, and have been missing out for years now- years without this delectable espresso beverage!  It's found at your local Starbucks (and if you live anywhere like I do, there's probably one on almost every other street corner. ;) 

Now that I've found this yummy drink, I need to make excuses for my husband to take me to Starbucks as much as humanly possible before it goes out of season! I've only tried the hot latte, so that leaves me to trying the iced version of this masterpiece. Thing is I tend to notice how ice takes away the richness of any coffee beverage, which equalsNo está bien. Don't give me wrong, in the summer I love a nice cool treat like a frappé or an iced coffee.. but it's getting chilly out, here in Northern Indiana. And if you are a coffee addict like myself, it's very hard to get that satisfaction that you get from a nice hot and rich cup o' joe. Being that it's an espresso, and that making it even more rich and delectable,the ice may not take away too much from the drink. We shall see upon my next Starbucks visit!

Anyway, I thoroughly recommend this beverage to you all. It's incredible and if you don't indulge in it, YOU ARE MISSING OUT! Of course, if you do not like cinnamon and nutmeg- this is not the drink for you. But who in the name of God doesn't like cinnamon and nutmeg? I think you'd have to be absolutely CRAZY! Like my husband.. he hates pumpkin spices.. WHAT! Oh, the insanity.

Ciao Ciao!

10 Defining Things About Me...

1. Motherhood; I am a mom to Landon and Bianca. They are fiery, free, stubborn and sweet. They fill my heart and my home with smiles and laughter and joy. It's so cliché, but so true. They remind me to enjoy life and to laugh at myself.

2. Love; My husband defines me in such an unexplainable way. It's not possible to be the person I now am without him, because he is part of me. When we became married we united, we're no longer two separate beings. Our hearts have coveted. His love, and our relationship is just so much of who I am.

3. Jesus; I am a Christian woman, I live my whole life through Him. He has given me my freedom, my salvation, my everything! I have been reading the Bible a lot more lately and have learned to consult Him in ALL things in my life. Not just wants/desires. My love for God is something that keeps me going when I am struggling the most. All things are possible in Him. 

4. Coffee; Every morning I have a cup of joe, or two, sometimes even 3! Okay, well that's throughout my whole day, actually- I limit myself to three. ;) The taste, the satisfaction, the feeling I get with the first sip! Mmmm! Not to mention the ENERGY that I need to chase after the wee ones all day long. Coffee, keeps me going, gotta love the java!

5. Romantic Movies; I am a sucker and a sap for them. The sadder, the better. Everyone needs a good cry, right?

6. Online Mom Friends; I became pregnant at 16, almost 17-  a very young age to embark on motherhood. Along the way I joined a Myspace group for pregnant teenagers, and somehow several of us formed our own group. A safe place for friendship, advice and honesty. Eventually we moved our group to facebook.  We've had our ins and outs- but in the end, it's been amazing. We've been each other's support, and I don't know how I would have made it without them. I love them. :)

7. Fashion; Faux Ugg boots, skinny jeans, leggings, Jackie O sunglasses, anything with anchors or owls, gigantic beads and purses, beret style beanies, flats and all things trendy. My store of choice? Forever 21, trendy AND affordable.

8.  Birth; I want to help women make informed decisions. the right decisions for them. There is no cookie cutter birth. But in this country, we have such a high number of cesarean sections, medical inductions, epidural, etcs. And so many women do not know there choices, and they simply do not that these "normal" choices they are making have a domino effect and will lead to a cascade of interventions. Hopefully, one mom at a time, those numbers will decline. One day.

9. Audrey Hepburn; Simply the most graceful, beautiful woman to live. 

10.  Cooking/Baking; I think I really just love creating, but food is the way to the heart. It's the one thing that connects us all. I know that cooking for my husband and family always leaves me feeling warm and proud. Nourishing them, and putting my love into it. I love it. :)

First post, here we go!

I'm Sarah; the spunky, but conservative; crunchy, yet still mainstream; adoring wife and mama- who relies on her morning cup (or two) of Joe just to keep up with my two energetic toddlers! If there is anything I like more than coffee it must be chocolate, or love. Hence the title of this blog! I don't have an intention for my blog, other than to share my life and thoughts with all of you. So let's see where this journey of blogging takes me, and maybe one day I will have a set "theme", but for not let's just say that "theme" is life, love, family, happiness.. and of course coffee. ;) Happy blogging!
