One of my most favorite things about May is that I get to go strawberry picking!!!
Having kids has made this special time of year much more special.
I have fond memories of picking strawberries with my mom when I was a kid {even though I didn't like to eat them}, and now I get to share it with my children and Nani {Ethylwolfe loves to pick but hates to eat them, just like me..until I got much older, it's too embarrassing to say how long it took me to like them :)}.
In years past, if any strawberries made it to their baskets, it was either rotten or green.
This year, I was quite proud at how perfect each strawberry they picked was.
We made strawberry shortcake {yum} and pectin free jam {I haven't tried it yet, but hubby says it's good. YAY!}
Ethylwolfe was a big helper.
He removed every green top and sliced every strawberry {8cups worth} for our jam.
After dinner, I scurried away to GBoro to see Gone with the Wind on the big screen with Kris.
I got there early, so I decided to walk around and explore the downtown of GBoro.
I stopped by a small coffee shop {I don't drink coffee, but I needed something to keep me awake on my drive home}. After gazing at the menu board, I noticed chai tea...I'm a major lover of chai tea, so I was going to give up on my idea of coffee and grab a chai to go{after-all, tea has caffeine too}. But below the chai was something I had never seen before, it was a chai bomb. A chai tea latte with a shot of espresso.
Could it be the best of both worlds??
Yes, yes it was.
I added a little honey, and it was perfect.
{The only downside, was that it was a hot drink on a hot day.}
I took cup in hand & sipped away as I window shopped downtown.
Neither of us had seen Gone with the Wind on the big screen, so it was a nice treat.
To explain how much of a dork I am....
I have the movie, but apparently due to scratches, I've never seen the whole thing. Only the second half.
I loved the movie before, but now I really love it :)
I arrived home safely right around 12:30.
~The chai bomb completed it's mission successfully~
