Homemade Hot Cocoa Jars + Printable Gift Tag

December 19, 2018 Leave a Comment

Jump to recipe

Every year, I tend to put off brainstorming teacher gift ideas until right before the holiday. However, since the last day of preschool was over a week and a half before Christmas, I knew I needed to step up my game! I honestly did really good at first – I snagged some cute mini holiday candles at Bath & Body Works in November and felt ahead. But then somehow, I found myself scrambling to finish getting the girls’ teacher gifts together last week before school ended – funny how that happens! Luckily, the second part of their gift was a good one – a homemade hot cocoa jar with extra chocolate chips and marshmallows.

I had really good intentions of letting the girls help me make these homemade hot cocoa jars, too (like I did last year with these cute snowman candy jars) but getting the cocoa, milk powder and powdered sugar layered just right ended up being a better job for an adult! They didn’t mind too much, since they just ate copious amounts of marshmallows while I was focusing on making the jars pretty. 😉 Really, though, this project was so simple and works as a last-minute gift idea for a neighbor, party host, stocking stuffer for family, etc. I even created a simple and sweet gift tag with instructions on how to prepare a mug of cocoa – all you have to do is print it out and attach it to your homemade hot cocoa jar with a piece of ribbon!

Last week to this week ➡️ We’re SO grateful Last week to this week ➡️ We’re SO grateful for a quick recovery from pneumonia — having a sick child is scary enough, but to top it off with no space in our local hospitals’ PICU and being flown to Asheville, you can imagine we were beyond stressed last week 😩 So so grateful she’s back to normal and on International Women’s Day, it felt like a good time to celebrate Brynn 🥰 Thank you to all of our friends & family who reached out, lent a helping hand and kept us in your thoughts & prayers ❤️

Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good — Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good — I felt very clear-minded and awake this AM 🥳 Truly, I was nervous because today was a very low-cal day and I wasn’t sure how I’d feel 😅 I did grab a plain iced espresso because my energy was depleting super quickly and that def helped 👌🏼 After lunch, though, I started to hate depriving myself of real food and disliked that I couldn’t push myself in my workouts like I usually do 😒 After dealing with three kids who clearly woke up on the wrong side of the bed 😆, slicing my hand open with a knife and being cranky and irritable because I’ve been hangry for 3 days, I caved. And sorry, not sorry ✌🏼 I just wanted a dang salad and some protein so I can lift heavy things 💪🏼 Moral of the story, listen to your body and what it needs. And maybe try a 1-2 day cleanse/fast because that’s about all mine could handle 🤪

@prolonfmd Day Two | Overall an easier day than ye @prolonfmd Day Two | Overall an easier day than yesterday 👌🏼 Time went by faster and I didn’t have any nausea from being hungry…I looked forward to and savored all of today’s meals — the black bean soup for dinner was actually really good (esp with a little cumin + paprika!) 🙌🏼 I did @pure_barre this AM and then a @onepeloton walk this afternoon…keeping it light because of how little I’m consuming this week 😅 Not gonna lie, nervous for day 3 because it’s the lightest day of food and I’m already pretty hangry in general 🤣 Interestingly, I’ve felt pretty amazing today other than just craving a real meal 👌🏼 Btw, was so hungry for dinner that I forgot to share it in the reel 🤦🏼‍♀️
