Winter has arrived......

There was already an inch of snow when I woke up at 7am and a forecast for plenty more today.
Although it's a little late, I still welcome the snow. I was beginning to feel jipped out of winter altogether. By this time, Milwaukee usually sees at least five or six snow storms.

So you know what this means......time to break out the hot chocolate.
Here's a roundup of my favorites. Any good brands I should try? Let me know!



Starbucks Salted Caramel Hot Cocoa Mix, Omanhene cocoa powder, Ghiradelli Double Chocolate Hot Cocoa Mix, Chuao Mexican Hot Chocolate

Lulu the dog gets a Snow Day

School was cancelled today along with everything else in Milwaukee including the freeway. So, I made some hot chocolate and we're hanging low, but we did manage to get Lulu outside. Here are some photos of our backyard and across the street.







We might try to venture out for lunch at Cafe Centraal. If you're on their email list and within walking distance, they sent out a 1/2 off coupon, so Hoorah!
