National Coffeine Awareness MONTH

National Caffeine Awareness Month
Yes... It is Caffeine Awareness Month... Sadly I have to say that 'CoFfEe' is my worst enemy, but I cannot live without it. My plan was to post everyday about my favorite drink, but as you can all ready see (it being the 13th of March) it didn't happen. 
For one; running my own business keeps my head quite full of 'stuff' that at times I seriously think it is spilling out of my ears (extremely overwhelming). That I cannot think straight enough to blog, get on Facebook or anything for that matter, it makes me quite sad, because blogging is relaxing to me. 
Second; we have encountered some obstacles that have become quite overwhelming to me with no resolve in the foreseeable future. TRUST IN THE LORD; *sigh* trusting has become extremely real to me through these circumstances, all I can do is pray.
Anyhow... getting back to what this month is all about - COFFEE!! - Oh wait, it's caffeine awareness, not just coffee, lol.   

Food Group?

Caffeine is in many foods and drinks as we know... tea, chocolate, soft drinks, ice-cream (if it is chocolate or coffee), wight loss pills, pain relievers, energy water (yes, believe it or not - read the labels '-]), frozen yogurt, energy drinks, hot coco, Snapple, and of course what we know... coffee - brewed/instant, decaf, latte, cappuccino, espresso, Starbucks tea, and so on and so forth.... #WHEW!!!


L♥ve
I did not like or even have a taste for coffee until my late 30s. As a matter of fact there were many in our social group that would razz me about not drinking coffee when everyone else was drinking the nasty, strong stuff. Well, I didn't think it was all that important and I didn't feel that I needed it for anything. And I definitely despised 'coffee breath'! Well here I am in my 40s and drinking coffee. Not only do I drink the strong, nasty, 'TASTY' stuff, but I love it as well, lol.. Mind you, I still do not like coffee breath, but everything else I love. The smell, the warmth, the colors (reasons my kitchen is done in coffee - colors)... mmmm...
L♥ve, L♥ve, L♥ve it!!!

Day 29 ~ Something You Are Listening To... Feb Challenge


This is what I am listening to at this moment. And the first thing I turn on when I wake up in the morning (news and coffee... Mmm). It is our households morning routine. It is turned off as soon as the children come and I put on more age appropriate music for our day. :)

Day 28 ~ Money... Feb Challenge

I do not like how money seems to control us. so you can say, I have a love/hate relationship with it. We need money to live, to eat, to succeed, and just plain survive. I thank God... He is a BIG part of my life that when I am short on money God is there to meet our needs in other means. *Praising Jesus! :) My faith is in God... not money.

Day 27 ~ Something You Ate... Feb Challenge

Our pot roast before it is cooked... Yummy!!
For dinner on Saturday night we had pot roast with veggies, onions and potatoes... MMM!!!! Our absolute favorite around this house. The spices cooking in the pot made the aroma in the house absolutely scrumptious!! Our mouths were watering all day long... '-]P'
Needless to say a small bowl was left for the next day and when it was being put away was dropped :( yes... very sad indeed because left overs are the best kinds of foods.

Day 26 ~ Night... Feb Challenge


 A day late and not the greatest pic, but I thought Id take one from outside looking into our front room/living area or my preschool; which is used more than our living area.

Day 25 ~ Green... Feb Challenge

Julians green room
Julian's favorite color is green. When we completely pulled everything out of his room to pull up the carpet (something I have done through out our whole house...) we decided to paint his walls green, (mind you, Cynthia picked the shade of green... I would of picked a different shade entirely, this looks quite ghetto to me, lol) before putting his new captain bed, dresser and book shelves were put back in his room.


We bought him bedding with other colors and with shades of green to try to balance out the bright ghetto green. It KINDA works for now... I WILL BE PAINTING IT A DIFFERENT GREEN later because everytime I walk into his room I feel like I am walking into the projects... lol.

Day 24 ~ Inside Bathroom Cabinet... Feb Challenge

We have only one bathroom cabinet in our house, it is located in the down stairs bathroom.
It's old and needs to be removed, but not until we know what to do with the wall behind it.
Excuse the green tape around it, but we are 'still' painting our bathroom.
Because it is in this particular bathroom (the same one used for our preschool)
I do not have any supplies in this cabinet for little hands to find...
only Julian's tooth brush[es] lol
and floss.
