About
Warm hot chocolate is a favorite drink request from our 3 (now 5) -yr-old son. As my husband describes, it’s “a drink with a built-in serving suggestion.” My son likes everything exactly the way he likes it.
On warmhotchocolate.com, I post about what inspires me: my family, design, crafts, cooking, travel, photography and the color pink. We live in the DFW area, so I also try share ideas about the many things to do with children in the metroplex.

Hi,
wish my little ones could come and have warm hot chocolate with you guys for an afternoon, I have found your website a perfect fresh of breath air, especially since my creativity gets stifled by PND and I am 1 year on from havng my 2nd son William, Barnaby will be 3 in November. Inspiration you are…and I am in awe of the ability to create fun activities for your beautiful children and then have the fine quality of capturing your life in a snap shot and being so kind in sharing your natural ability of motherhood and still bringing new flair to what can be mundane and frustrating job at times.
Strange that I should find your blog whilst making a photo book for my neices 1st birthday and your charlie and lola frame was perfect for cheeky snap shots, but even odder due to the fact that my husband and I watched ‘Motherhood’ on SKY last week.
I logged on last night at 4am when i was losing in the night time slumber that everyone else was enjoying in the house. And I am looking forward to following your blogs.
Thanks again for writing, as my sewing machine has gathered dust and the bias binding and fabrics i have stacked in the corner of the dining room/dining room in our tiny victorian terrace in England hopefully will be put into some creations and my little project ‘Made With Love’ that I sell at a farm shop will perhaps start to manouvre again.
Little bit at a time…. enjoy yor week!

Wow, thank you so much!
Motherhood can be hard – mundane and frustrating as you’ve described – but I have found blogging and crafting to be great ways of celebrating the simple moments every day. Don’t give up on your creativity!
Best wishes,
Julee.

OK, it’s time to post. I stumbled upon your blog 4 weeks ago by accident and I’m hooked. Your ideas inspire me. I, too, love crafts, paper, etc. I have been swept away by life + my ridiculous schedule and I often forget how to make time to be crafty. I have two kids (AND yes, another Jenna age 3 1/2). We made a spooky house just like yours. OH how she loved it. I can’t resist a good deal. I love all your budget friendly finds and how you pull together the most adorable look alike outfits. Happy Anniversary (we just celebrated 5 years in OCT).
Best,
Lisa

Take care,
Julee

Hi Julee,
Just wanted to say thanks for creating the first blog I’m actually interested in reading! I’m excited to read every new post and inspired to create my own (once my photography and craft skills have had a few months of practice!). My little boy Aaron (nearly 2 and about to have a Charlie and Lola themed party) loves all the new things we’ve been trying as a result of your inspiration. Thanks again so much!

Hi Anna,
Thank you so much! The site is a great way for me to remember all of the little moments in my children’s lives, but I have to admit, I love hearing that other moms enjoy it too. Best wishes on your upcoming Charlie and Lola party. Maybe you could share a link to some of the pictures? I’d love to see it.
- Julee

You are so sweet!! Thank you. Totally agree with you on the fast food issues, btw. Look forward to reading more on your blog.

Thank you. It’s been a struggle to get my husband on the same page. He’s great with her in so many other areas, so I tend not to make a huge deal out of it. And I do so look forward to reading your blog, which make me feel like I am reading a design journal with a mommy edge. It reminds me a lot of Creature Comforts blog (http://www.creaturecomfortsblog.com/). Are you familiar with that one?
Comment by Chicken Nuggets and Elmo— February 20, 2012 #
Yes, I love that blog. I don’t know EZ (who writes the blog), but she’s in the same photography class that I’m taking. Her photos are always gorgeous. So inspiring.
Thanks for your kind comments about my blog. Sometimes I feel like I’m just writing for myself, which isn’t so bad because I love looking back at all of the things we do with J+J, but it’s also very nice to hear from other moms.
Take care,
Julee
