Smores!

Today in the life,
I went to help my sister study for her accuplacer test. So proud of her for choosing to attend college. Anywho, my son and I were talking with her about camping and how awesome and fun it is. It made me crave some smores. So when my son and I went home we stopped at Walmart and got the ingredients for smores :) they were so delicious. You cant beat marshmallows and chocolate lol. We have a gas stove so it all worked out very well. Mmmmmmmm still thinking about them haha. Hope you have a great night!

Hot Chocolate...Yum

Today in the life,
The snow continues to fall in all its freezing glory. The fam and I took to Burlington's Coat Factory to replenish our seasonal gear for the coming winter. These low temps are no joke. Today was a high of 18 degrees and tomorrow a high of 10 degrees. Like what? 10 degrees is what I have to work with? Lol hence why we went shopping for coats, gloves and beanies galore.

After shopping we couldn't resist some hot cocoa from Starbucks :) Mmm the warm liquid flowing down my soar throat was the best thing ever! We went home and cooked some vegetable and beef stew. It was amazing and a perfect dinner for evenings like this. We watched Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with our kido and hung out the rest of the night while I wrote my report on oil extraction and completed most of my bioprocess engineering homework. Great day with the family today :) Hope you all had an awesome day too!

P.S. On behalf of it being Veteran's Day i have to say I have much respect to those who are serving for the USA currently and to those who have done so in the past.

Cupcake candle

Today in the life,
I have so much homework due this week and I thought I would share my study habits that I normally practice in order to get through it all in one peace!

Shown below is my new cupcake candle. I won it in a raffle at a long time friend's baby shower. It is the cutest thing and it smells like milk chocolate :) so delicious! My room smells amazing lol.

So this is the first thing I do when I have my room to myself (my fiancé and son are out getting haircuts) is to light a good smelling candle so that I can calm down, breathe in the good and breathe out the bad.

Next up, I turn on the radio. Ugh watching television and doing homework does not work well for me, but put on some slow R&B and I'm in good shape to get some major work done.

But first, I spend 5 to 10 minutes on social media... ugh I know that darn internet, but it gets my internet fix done with, and I can finally focus on my work :) 

When others are around, I put in earphones to keep from getting distracted or I simply find a quiet place. In my house though there are very seldom places to have a quiet room to yourself lol so I sometimes have to leave and study at school. 

Well hope this helps ya out!
