Is Life Too Busy?

One thing that I have been learning is to cherish the little moments. With this year being so busy, school is starting, two grad classes, a new baby in the family, balancing the hubs new job, small group, etc... the list keeps going. I have often wondered if I am too busy lately. I know I have a lot going on but I feel like I don't know how else to live.

These little moments I have found include simple things like my most recent coffee discovery, Gevalia Chocolate Mocha. This make my morning better. Right now I am sitting on the couch, in a nice cool apartment because the windows have been open all night, with a cup of coffee in hand, writing this blog. To me, there is nothing really better.

I also made my own coffee creamer. It is SO simple I can't believe I've never done it before. All you do is take I can of sweetened condensed milk (14 oz.) and 1 3/4 cup of milk or cream (I used whatever I had in the fridge). You can also add any flavorings you like (I used almond extract and cinnamon). Then, you shake it up and store it in your fridge.

Last night, I made quiche for the first time. I cheated and bought a store bought crust but I figured its okay. I've done so much on my own this week, including homemade tomato soup (post and recipe coming soon). It was so easy to do, I found a recipe online for a basic quiche and added my own ingredients. I can't believe there are only 3 or 4 eggs in the whole thing! I added cooked bacon, cheese and broccoli. It was so good. The hubs ate 2 pieces.

I have found a way to balance it all and perhaps find the time to recharge by cooking and enjoying coffee. How do you find a break in the rush of life?
