At the start of the week, I was a little concerned that I might not have too many things to write about today. AR has had some issues at the start of the week at lunch (which have been resolved) and continual issues with a guy on her bus. Why do kids bully? Is it about privilege? Why does prejudice manifest itself so commonly in our society? All topics for an entirely different post.

We’re headed to Taco Mac for family Friday and have been excited about staying within budget. It’s SR’s new favorite place and has been anxiously awaiting to go back since we went on our date night!

SR finished up his new site.

While Fay hangs over Florida, she took a different course and spared my family once again. At the beginning of the week forecasters predicted it would be a direct hit. I’m thankful they were spared, but it was at the cost of another area being hit.

Hubby made breakfast this morning, which was delicious and we had some iced coffee left!

Sound off: What’s been going on for you? Anything fantastic you’d like to share?

Amy over at Mom Advice will post Notebook Experiments each week and this week she’s offering a prize to those who’ve actually experimented! Back on July 31, Amy found this site with a great iced coffee drink recipe so I decided to try it. I had bookmarked the recipe a while ago, since I have been craving a Grande Mocha Frappuccino from SBUX.

Here’s how I made it:

12 cups fresh ground French Vanilla Bean (we buy the BJs brand) coffee
6 cups water
8-10 cups ice
Mix in:
Sugar-free French Vanilla Creamer
6 individual Splenda packets

Let chill until morning

I actually tried a little bit before putting it in the fridge for the night and it tasted great! Hubby actually liked it too. He said, “all we need now is a little whip cream”. I’ve got him liking the Mocha Frappuccinos too!

Since the wedding, hubby has been working on a cool new photography site. It’s a place where he can properly showcase all his great photographs! Make sure you check it out, and click around. He’s been working really hard on it, and I’m proud of the work he’s done! It’s all made from scratch and I have yet to understand any of the gizmos and gadgets used in the production of the site.
