Last week was tough, I’m not gonna lie. No elect Last week was tough, I’m not gonna lie. No electricity and no water during the coldest days San Antonio has seen ever was definitely a challenge, but we made it through. 

Now the struggle is finding certain items we need every day. 

I love my coffee. You all know I have more then enough different ways to make coffee, but a yummy latte with my favorite @organicvalley milk makes me a happy, happy girl. 

So glad that @wholefoods and Organic Valley came through for us. 

They were stocked and allowed us to get 2 half gallons, my husband likes the whole milk, and I like the non-fat. My son was also able to find the Grass Fed for him and his roommate. 

This to shall pass, and I’ll be smiling with my hot latte.

It’s been a rough week here in San Antonio and all of Texas. 

I wanted to celebrate making it through this challenging week we’ve had, I know it’s not over yet, we may have electricity, thankfully, but getting the water back may take a little longer 💦 

I LOVE the snow, and I couldn’t let it go away without enjoying it and playing in it. ❄️

If this week taught me anything, it taught me how If this week taught me anything, it taught me how grateful I am to have been through similar situations as a kid growing up in Michigan. It taught me how strong and inventive I am, and it taught me that being positive breeds positivity. I pray for all of you that still don’t have electricity, and I pray that our electricity remains on. 

This Michigan/Texas gal will always love snow, always. I love the way it looks, feels, smells, and how it makes me feel like a little kid every time I see it. Be strong Texas, this to shall pass, we are a resilient state. ❤️❄️
