that you can’t see me! Today is one of those days. The weather can’t make up its mind. My hair is frizzy, I’m wearing Cookie Monster Sweat pants, and flip flops. I’m going to sleep with the window open, fan on, leg out, and waking up freezing halfway through the night. And rinse and repeat.

I may also be drinking Baileys hot chocolate. This stuff is going to make you never want regular hot chocolate ever again. Smooth, creamy, and with just enough booze! Use the leftover Baileys here:

1/2 Cup Bailey’s Irish Cream
