My husband & I are BIG fans of a great cup of coffee.  While he enjoys a bolder roast, I am quite content with a medium roast.  But one thing we agree on is flavored coffee creamer!  Roy & I love having a cup of coffee in the evening after things have quieted down, and we certainly enjoy a variety of flavors.  I think our favorites are Sweet Italian Cream, Vanilla Caramel (Breve), and Almond Joy.  But we’re not opposed to...

Ohhhhh – it’s a day to celebrate for sure!  National Frappé Day!  Even in cold winter, I have found that a Frappé will give me a lift even more than a regular latte! Do you like frozen, blended coffee with a foamy top? I know I do.  I love a good Caramel or Mocha Frappé.  Those are my two favorite flavors.  Especially when they add whipped cream with a drizzle of caramel sauce or chocolate sauce.  And sprinkles.  And a...

Good Morning – It’s Friday.  Got your rose-colored glasses on today?  Or are you dragging your feet this morning.  Grab some coffee or tea and toast and settle in for a quick chat!  For me – this week (thankfully) went by quickly.  Some days have dragged right along these past couple of weeks, but this week has been really one of the best weeks for awhile. My OB visit went well.  Baby is G-R-O-W-I-N-G.  Seriously –...

Good Morning – it is a GORGEOUS morning here. Sunny, cool (but not cold) and looking to be a really beautiful day.  Got my coffee ready this morning – but you’ll have to settle for wheat toast with peanut butter this morning (although for people like me, that’s not something to “settle” for – I love it!)  My husband, Roy, prefers his toast with peanut butter & Bob White syrup (which is much like...

FIRST!  I cannot believe it but I won my way to a conference with Extraordinary Women!!!  I connected with a gal on Facebook – who I was familiar with via A Woman Inspired Conferences.  I knew about Extraordinary Women from the counseling courses I’ve been taking at Liberty University Online, and just finished the Extraordinary Women course!!!  The EWomen blog hosted a conference giveaway and I WON!  I am so beside myself! ...

Hello Company Girls!  How’s your week been? Well, I was hoping for a quiet week, but I have been racing all over getting things done this week.  Got a lot done, but I’m still hoping for a quiet week following a few challenging weeks with school… I did a lot of writing about addiction this week.  Not just my caffeine addiction, but also my food addiction.  Tough stuff.  Not just to write about – but to even think...

Since I had several comments about caffeine addiction in response to my post last Friday, I wanted to explore this a little bit more specifically today. I have been absolutely, unconditionally addicted to caffeine.  At one time in my life, I was literally drinking 1-3 20 oz. lattes from my favorite book/coffee shop as I worked 10-12 hour days, 6 days a week, for several months.  Some of those drinks were ordered with an extra shot of...

Did YOU know that March is National Caffeine Awareness Month?  Really So I’m taking the celebration to heart. lol.  Just kidding.  I’m not drinking more coffee or tea or anything else more than normal (except for water – I am drinking more of that) but thought it was pretty funny when I read Mom’s No Chaos Zone and discovered it IS National Caffeine Awareness Month. I have actually been addicted to caffeine.  As in...

Do you have plans for Valentines Day?  Do you ever make plans?  Does your hubby (or wife) do the planning?  Is it that big of deal to you? With the snow we’ve had this week and reshuffling of appointments and schedules every day – I haven’t really thought about Valentines Day a whole lot.  Believe it or not, I don’t want chocolate. What I really want is TIME with Roy. It shouldn’t take a commercialized holiday...

Hello Coffee Gals – bring a big mug and I’ll fix you right up this morning with a fresh brewed cup of coffee and some monster cookies! So today I have MUCH due for my Algebra class.  It ends at midnight tonight and I am pushing upward and onward to get a “C” in the class.  It’s not looking good, but I can’t give up yet. To start things off – you might want to read this post at Mommies Coffee Break to...
