little black skates, where are you?

i bought you for 50c last summer at a garage sale

i couldn't leave you sitting there

i knew you would be perfect in my winter decor

but christmas has come and gone

and i still haven't found you....

where are you hiding?

~i know, i know, i am bad~

yes i know, i am bad

~very bad~

here all you fabulous gals are posting new year resolutions and i post about decadent mississippi mud cookies

and i got to thinking

i really shouldn't entice you with photos

...and keep all the calories to myself

i found the sweet blog where i got the recipe originally

 it was posted by Robin from All Things Heart and Home

i'm not sure if i should thank her or not.....

and hers look even more delish as they have the yummy mini marshmallows on them

the kids ate all ours here at the hot choc station:

so here's the link to Robin's blog post so you can make them too!
(i double up as the kids eat half the mixture before it gets baked)

and really i did deserve them, it was a crummy week

back to work, back to school, i was sick, sweet 17 was sick

it won't stop raining and pouring

and to top it all someone drove into my van - grrrr

so join me in indulging, won't you please:-)

have a wonderful mississippi mud weekend!

~a warm hot choc hug~

have you seen some of the wonderful hot chocolate station posts in blogland?

well, since my kids have hot choc E-V-E-R-Y- D-A-Y after school

it was time for our very own hot choc station!

it was super quick to put together - i already had the tarnished silver tray and glass apothecary jars from thrifting adventures

gotta have candy canes

big

and little

yummy marshmallows

espcially christmas marshmallows 

and of course hot choc

being the no.1 customer, my 10 year old added some ribbon touches

and i've since added a jar of mini chocolates - gotta have something there for mamma!
