Keep warm with Kroshay Cafe

So while peeking around on Etsy one late night, I came across a shop called Kroshay Cafe. Karen's shop consists of crocheted coffee cozy's and mug cozy's as well as cowl scarves and other goodies. I LOVE the way her coffee cozy's looked so I contacted her to see if she would be down for a review. Guess what... she said yes!


I was sent this GORGEOUS fall themed coffee cozy. How cute is that?? Karen's coffee cozy's are made with chunky yarn and is adorned with a flower and coconut button. Karen suggest a fall themed cozy so she chose the colors and thought the pumpkin and mustard color went perfect for fall. I was so excited to get it..

This is how it was packaged up for me.
I received my coffee cozy just before I went to work one day, which was great as I always get myself a tea of coffee beforehand. I showed hubs and even he thought it was a cool idea. "No more need for the crummy cardboard ones..."

It fit my coffee cup perfectly and I felt I had a better grip on my cup. I didn't burn my poor fingers when I received my fresh..piping hot tea. Plus it's such a cute accessories to have. I don't see many people with these bad boys. I even had a customer compliment me on it. (p.s. Karen, I gave her your Etsy shop name!)

Here its on a 20oz London Fog (mmm)
I've used my cozy everyday.. seriously! I just love the look of it on the cup, I love the functionality of it and love that I am not wasting extra cardboard in order to keep me from burning my fingers.

So, in my opinion, this is one of the best "greener living" products I have got! I keep it in my purse, and use it all the time. I love the flower detail and the coconut button adds a touch of 'earthy' to it. These would make a great holiday gift for any coffee/tea lover. Give this with a gift card to their favorite coffee shop or even a bag of awesome tea. I know i would be happy to see another one of these!

Kroshay Cafe has some great color combos. Check her out at http://www.etsy.com/shop/CrochetMarket?ref=pr_shop_more

She also makes some awesome looking cowl scarves.

I would like to thank Karen from KroshayCafe for allowing me to review her awesome coffee cozy's. Be sure to check her out on Etsy as well as her blog.

Trick or Treat!!

Tonight was J's first time Trick or Treating! Last year he was stroller bound and wasn't really into wearing his costume for very long. This year, again he wasn't very happy about wearing a costume, but he did it and he looked OH so CUTE!!

Originally I wanted to make him a Sack'o'Potatoes.. I had an actual burlap sac but I just didn't have time to make it so my MIL bought an Elmo costume for him. He is in love with Momo.. so it was only fitting...

We went to about 12 houses around my in laws house...basically to visit the neighbors who know J and haven't seen him in a long time... He was running from house to house.. sneaking extra candy when no one was looking (we were all looking..and laughing) He got a great haul of candy.

After about 45 minute's we went back to my in laws and had some tea then came home. Little man was out cold before we got home. So he didn't get his bath tonight... I did get a chance to brush his teeth, then it was bed time. He went down without a fight... I guess getting free candy is hard work!

Well until next Halloween!

No!

Have you ever had a day where you feel like your gunna just snap?? Well today was my 'bad' day...

J's new thing is, saying NO.. and it;s NO to everything... 'J, wanna have breakfast?' - 'NO' He ate so little for breakfast, and didn't drink his milk...

Ugh..today I got mad. I try very hard not to lose my temper but today I lost it. He smacked me in the face and that was it. I grabbed him, put him in his crib and yelled. Once I left his room I broke down and cried. I hate being mad..angry.. upset with him. He is my everything and I don't like to lose control....

After his 2 minute time out I went in to get him and there he was, jumping up and down saying "Mama" with his arms open. I saw the smile on his face and everything went back to being good (pardon the terrible English)

Here's hoping for a better day tomorrow...

Much love
