I’ve mentioned this before, and I’ll say it again, it’s the little things in life that make me happy.
My morning cup of coffee, watching the Food Network on lazy Saturday mornings, climbing into bed with freshly washed bed sheets and blankets, and relaxing with a pizza on Friday nights are just a few things that make me happy.
Hot chocolate also makes me happy. During the summer, or in the dead of winter, I drink hot chocolate throughout the year.
If you remember, I’m almost always cold. So I’m usually bundled up in a sweatshirt when it’s 90 degrees outside, or cozied up under my electric throw blanket when the temps dip below freezing.
So, needless to say, lots of hot chocolate is consumed in my house. That, coffee, and chai lattes, with the occasional cup of tea thrown in there. I love to hold a hot mug of something while I’m working on blog tasks, reading a book, or watching TV.
