Creme Brûlée Latte

November 12, 2018 by Erin Leave a Comment

I am stuck in a serious rut when it comes to coffee, and I’m totally ok with it. I like my morning beverage the way I like it. But that doesn’t mean I don’t want to get fancy every now and then and try something different, especially when that means experimenting with a coffee drink that fits with the current season! While brainstorming with my mom, trying to come up with a coffee drink that would feel like fall, we thought, “well who wouldn’t like their coffee to taste like creme brûlée?!” So, here you have it!…

November 7, 2017 by Erin 1 Comment

In case you didn’t know, the holiday season can feel a little like some sort of psychotic, sleep-deprived marathon when you have small children. Yanking kids up from naps, skipping meals and eating when they’d normally be asleep, constant stimulation, tons of sugar…all of the necessary ingredients for a dangerous science experiment. But since you’re here, I’d be willing to bet that you’ve experienced a taste of that and you’re looking for some advice….
