delicious pairings: Starbucks coffee and chocolate chip muffins

It’s no secret that I’m a coffee fiend. I write about it all.the.time. on here. I basically can’t survive without my morning cup and when we moved into our new house this week, I couldn’t find the Keurig. The first morning I packed the kids in the car and drove to my mom’s house to get my fix.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned this week, it’s that I am one cranky b without my coffee.

I don’t usually like black coffee… I use creamers or I go

getting ready for Easter!

We had a lot of traditions surrounding the Easter holiday when I was growing up. I have such great memories of Easter morning, hunting for candy with my brother, digging through our Easter baskets, and collecting a new stuffed animal each year. They are traditions I want to carry on with my own kids and this is our first Easter with TWO children! WHOOO! Every “first” holiday is just so exciting 🙂

Thanks to the Kmart circular, I saw they were having a big Easter sale…

My donation for Champions for Kids

Last week I wrote about Champions for Kids and the current campaign with Energizer to “Light Up a Life” and help children in need across America.

sharing the (coffee) love

Remember how excited I was about the new International Delight Iced Coffee? The cartons are now being sold at Walmart, whooo! Have you gone shopping for them yet? Do you love them or what?! I was lucky enough to be able to share the yummy goodness with a friend.

I decided to send a package of all 3 flavors (Original, Vanilla, and Mocha) to Beth at Me As A Mommy. First, she has two of the cutest

life is too short for bad coffee.

Soooooo true. The post title and the picture above. I remember back in the day when I hated coffee and couldn’t understand why all those crazy adults lived on it all day long, it tasted like crap. Literally.

Then I entered grad school (yea, I made it all the way through college still hating coffee!) and probably would have died without coffee. I drank out of necessity. And then I fell in love and drank for fun. COFFEE, people. We’re still talking about coffee…..
