How’re your Mondays going so far?
Mine’s a little slow, but that’s a good thing! It’s always nice to have a day where you can just do what you want because we have some free time. We shouldn’t feel guilty for “wasting time” when we’re relaxing and passing the day by feeling happy!
My day so far:
Slept in late, and had a nice yoga session upon waking up. I’m still feeling that hike from the other day, so it was nice to stretch so much.
Then, breakfast, including this:
A Homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte!
2 heaping tbsp canned pumpkin
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ground cloves
pinch of allspice
sweetener to taste
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup almond milk (or other milk)
coffee
Mix all the ingredients except the coffee in your coffee cup. Add the hot coffee and… Drink up!
Starbucks doesn’t hold a candle. Trust me. Plus mine doesn’t cost $4. Or 400 calories. Not even close.
Anyways, I’m off to enjoy the rest of my day… probably a little boxing to expend some energy, and I’m thinking tonight is a good night to light a fire and snuggle up with a good book. Or my Free People catalogue 
And a decaf Pumpkin Spice.
Happy Monday!
This is something amazing! Imagine how you are done with everything after just barely 20 words…And if it costs less than $4,this should really be a part of my daily breakfast!
I can’t believe how easy it is to make your own pumpkin spice latte! I can’t wait to try this!
I love that quote! It’s something I need to remember more often, when I feel guilty for being lazy with the fam.
how much coffee are we supposed to add?
Just as much as you need to fill your mug or cup up after you’ve added everything else! You can also adjust the milk amount to your taste.
homemade pumpkin spiced latte’s are by far more amazing than starbucks. i love the quote and how your blog is set up; very elegant
thank you so much!
