Honestly – this week has been about my coffee…  I’m still mostly drinking a 1/2 caffeinated blend, but know that sometimes, I just need the regular caffeine.  Being pregnant, that means I also have to drink MUCH MORE water or juice/water to stay hydrated. The teapot I use for brewing a small afternoon pot of tea, though, is always inviting me to use it.  No – I’m not hearing voices…  It’s just that...

Did you know that January is National Hot Tea Month?  Yes, it actually is.  Considering the brutally cold weather and snow we’ve seen in these first few days of January, National Hot Tea Month feels just right!  I’m getting ready to indulge in A Cup of Ahhhh! myself… Although I am no longer selling Teaporia, it does not mean I have lost my zeal for tea!  And I know I’m not the only tea lover out there.  In fact, I...

This week was the second annual Christmas tea with my favorite ladies at Berean Baptist Church.  Last year – it was such a LOVELY time of fellowship and ministered to my heart.  This year, I had to miss it due to “life’s curve” – and I’m okay with that – and I can always look forward to next year. It reminded me, too, that I need to stock up my tea cupboard! I’m hoping to treat myself to a...

We aren’t particularly set in our ways when it comes to tea time, but I really enjoy having a tea time with the girls when they wake up from their naps.  Normally, they ask for a snack, and because Roy won’t be home for several hours, it’s the perfect time to offer something tasty and sit down with our little teacups and enjoy some company. When its hot outside, we’ll have iced tea – and I’ve been on a MUFFIN...

Just a note to let you know that TEAPORIA’S June Specials are now posted on the TEA WITH THE QUEEN MOMMY page!  Mmmmm – they sound so good. There’s nothing like a big ol’ glass of iced tea when its hot outside – and with flavors like  PINÁ COLADA, OASIS WHITE MANGO, or PINEAPPLE Tea, you’re sure to have a REFRESHING burst of fruity flavor this...

Hello Company Gals and good friends & readers! Grab a bagel and pass your mug – I’ve got some great coffee and flavored creamer this morning!  We got about 3″ of snow overnight, so we’re bundling up this morning! Can you believe it’s Friday? It really is true: Time Flies when you’re having Fun! And I’ve had a fun week!  I can’t really think of anything remarkable to share, it’s just...

Ahhh, drinking a hot cup of PG Tips seems to get me started with my day.  My coffee is a necessity – like breathing – but the hot tea is just a pleasure and brings a note of serenity to my day. Relaxation is an important key to good health, and today, I am taking steps in that direction. Wishing you a Lovely Tea for Tuesday…

Would you join me for a cup? I’ve got some Tazo Calm (lovely stuff) or my PG Tips, excellent with a little milk and honey for sweetener. Yesterday, after writing about cleaning my desk, and then reading Nans post at Moms The Word, and knowing about Bliss Challenge Week 1 at Blissfully Domestic, I tackled the project with some trepidation because I had let my desk go for sooooooo long.  (How many “encouragers” one needs is in...
