The At-Home Barista

 

I would like to share today my obsession with my electric milk frother for tired moms everywhere fueled on coffee. Links to product on affiliate links to help support our blog coffee addiction.

 I’m no barista…

…but I sure have found a way to save some money and make my own Cafe Au’Laits.

Sure, when I was working a full-time outside sales job, Starbucks and Peets weren’t just an option, but a necessity. Fast forward a few years and now I find the concept of “stopping for coffee” laughable with a 2 and 5 year old….

I asked my brave sister to share her unfortunate experience with potty accidents in older children to help any moms who might be experiencing the same challenges. Thank you, Suzanne, for sharing.

Here is her story:Potty Accidents in Older Children
