Grateful: Day 19, Hot Chocolate

Although it’s not officially winter yet, this Polar Blast situation has it feeling that way. It has given me the opportunity to teach my girls a valuable lesson. That lesson is: We have to drink hot chocolate to stay warm, but more importantly, we must use milk for the best results.

For years, I’ve just let them use hot water. It’s easy enough to do on their own that way. Plus, that’s the way I drank it as a kid.

But this weekend, I shared with them the secret to a better hot chocolate. It’s so much fun to do things like this with your children and watch their eyes light up with wonder. They were all “Wow! It DOES taste better this way.”

And I was like “I know, I know.”

We were all smiling and sipping. I’m grateful for moments like these and making memories.
