![]() Do you have food/beverage that takes you to another place entirely? If only for a moment I can be that carefree person surrounded by my zen paradise. Now, I am so happy to have this fantastic creamy and decadent earl grey latte with lavender and honey to take me back to my happy place. Those were peaceful moments, and I definitely found my zen there. Which isn’t bad, but some days I long for the days when I waded out into the water at the base of the falls, and I napped or read books on the large rocks. There is always somewhere to go or something to do. Now, living in the suburbs and being an all-out “soccer mom” outfitted with the big SUV and, of course, a latte, life is different. The mountains provide a quiet stillness for me, and the chaos of life melts away immediately. I adore my life now and wouldn’t change a thing (I wouldn’t argue if someone wanted to hand me winning lottery numbers though P )īut, my time in the mountains rafting, hiking, and being surrounded by nature was amazing and freeing. Times when life wasn’t complicated, and I didn’t have to schedule anything before 10 am if I didn’t want to.įellow Mom’s do you even remember the last time you slept in? Nope? Me either! Life changes and we change along with it. But Boone, being my alma maters home, brings back such great memories. ![]() The mountains, in general, make me happy. So, with my latte (and brookie) in hand, I took in my favorite landscape and relished the fact that it was July and only in the 60’s. And no, I did not share! It’s this yummy cross between a brownie and cookie. I may have had one or two of the scrumptious treats. If you are in the area be sure to check out the gluten free chocolate brookie too. Stick Boy Bakery in Boone, NC always delivers the best. The smells wafting from the back were enough to make you salivate the moment you walk in. ![]() I entered the same coffee shop/bakery that I frequented almost 15 years ago when I attended the local university, and it was as if nothing had changed. Perfect for the rainy (and surprisingly cold) day we were experiencing. The first time I enjoyed an earl grey latte with lavender and honey was a few weeks ago on vacation in the North Carolina mountains. ![]() This post may contain affiliate links that help to support my blog at no additional cost to you ![]()
