January 14, 2013 by Julie 5 Comments

Won’t you sit down and have a cup of hot chocolate with me? It’s cold outside this morning so I’m drinking a mug of Ghirardelli chocolate hazelnut. 
 

I won’t lie, it’s good.

This little blogging community is a pretty awesome place. Last week was a tough week for our family, but I was able to find peace in the words of one of my favorite bloggers. (I know it’s rude to be so vague about something, but since it involves one of the kids and we are still working through it I’m not ready to share yet.) Andrea wrote this beautiful piece about belonging. Her words are ones that I will carry with me.

My husband doesn’t buy me flowers that often, but he picks his moments well. One night last week he showed up with these lovelies.

If you haven’t yet, I’d love for you to enter the giveaway I’m having here on the blog for some very pretty earrings.

If you’re looking for some free Coco and Cocoa goodies then I have a treat for you as well. I’m giving away ear warmers on two different blogs.

How was your weekend?

    What a poignant and beautiful reminder that we are only as far from the love and comfort of our Savior as we choose to let ourselves get. Hope things have smoothed out. Love ya.

      Thanks, Jenni. It’s still a work on progress, but I feel a lot calmer this week.
