Five Things Coffee

This post is dedicated to my love of coffee!

Coffee Quote

Usually the first thing I think about when I wake up is when I can have my first cup of coffee. I know you’re thinking “OMG she has kids shouldn’t her first thought be about them or her husband?”. I love all 3 of them more than I could say, but the thought of that first taste of coffee is what gets me out of bed! 

1) My current coffee of choice is this. It is both delicious and healthy! Their beans are roasted slowly on a wood fire which allows each bean to roast on its own. The flavor of this coffee is unbelievable. The low acidity is much better for your body, making it a healthier alternative to regular coffee. The taste is fantastic and rich. I like dark roast coffee’s so I love their French Roast!…

Enjoy your day!

Do you still enjoy eating the little Valentine Sweetheart candies? My daughter was eating a few pieces today and it brought back some childhood memories for me. I actually haven’t had any in years, I may have to snag a few pieces from her stash!

Perfect Rainy Saturday

I love a good rainy day when I can stay inside and relax and do exactly what I want to do. Those days do not happen nearly as often as I would like. Having a family often times means that you have very little “me” time, but I tell you what when I do get it I really, really appreciate it! Today Jim and the girls are spending the day at the grandparents so this leaves me with a “perfect rainy me day!” 🙂

I was able to sit and relax and drink my coffee this morning and I even took the time to use the french press! It was so good. I mixed salted caramel coffee with pumpkin pie coffee and it was great!

I was able to browse around online and then I even did an Ab workout and ran on the treadmill for 35 minutes. So I’m feeling awesome!

Even though I am enjoying myself I have found the time to do a couple loads of laundry make lunch and now I am watching Parenthood on Netflix.  This show has been on for years and my best friend has been telling me for a long time I should watch it. The other day I gave it go and now I am hooked!

I  hope you guys are having a wonderful Saturday!

How do you like to spend your “me” time?

Happy Friday!

Hi guys!  So glad it is Friday, but a little sad that Christmas is only 1 1/2 weeks away. Thankfully though I have almost all my Christmas shopping done! We were really on top of it this year and had most of it done in November. I really love to make little notes throughout the year when I hear family members mention something they like, it makes Christmas shopping so much easier and I know that my friends and family will get something they really enjoy!

I’ve also started thinking a little about New Years Resolutions (more about that later).  Each year my husband and I like to write ours down and go over them on New Years Eve to see how we did over the year and how things have changed. We actually have all of ours from the last 10 years or so and it is so much fun to look over the old ones!

Also does anyone else get a little sad when your coffee is gone in the morning? I sure do. I drink 2 cups and I try to drink them slowly because the bottom of my cup is so sad!

I hope everyone has a great weekend! Stay warm!
