I love this twist on giving hot cocoa as a gift. Instead of giving it in powder form, why not solid on a stick? Not only does it look cool, but it tastes awesome! I of course had to sample one before giving them as gifts. They are absolutely delicious. For full directions, check out …

We were all prepared for Sandy. We were stocked with bottled water, flashlights, batteries, and plenty of fun activities for the little man. I was more nervous about keeping him occupied than I was about losing power. Luckily, we only lost power for a few short periods of time and no trees came down. We …
