A Collection Of Moments: March

March

A Collection Of Moments, is my attempt to actively notice the changes and beauty within each month. Because what is life, but a series of moments strung together like twinkling lights on a string?

+ + +

MARCH is …

Melting snow.

Madness.

Eyes smiling.

Saving daylight.

Jumping puddles.

Verdant.

Noting the other half.

The fours.

4th, 14th and 24th

Celebration, mourning and laying to rest.

Getting away.

Seasons change.

Time flows.

The way of the world.

FEBRUARY is …

Short.

Yet so long.

Feeling winter.

Warming up.

Love in all its forms.

More daylight.

Romance and disappointment. 💕

Reminisce.

Hope springs eternal.

Seasons change.

Celebrating my history as Angela Davis

Recipe: Single Serving Parisian Style Hot Chocolate

hot chocolate topped with whipped cream

Full disclosure! The picture that I took of the hot chocolate that I made for this post did not do it justice.

And this hot chocolate recipe is outstanding! It’s thick, rich and super chocolaty.

I don’t want the picture to keep you from trying it, so this is a stock photo. It’s as easy to make this recipe as using an instant mix. And you will elevate your hot chocolate experience to another level. At home! Without paying a ton of money! Yes, I’m screaming!

Today is one of the coldest days in New England this winter. And on a similarly super cold day five years ago, I blogged a recipe for Single Serving Parisian Style Hot Chocolate.

Back then, I adapted the recipe and I’ve adapted it again. It’s a little “healthier” with less sugar and cream. Today is National Hot Chocolate Day, so it’s the perfect day to try this recipe.
