Okay – I’m back to Coffee after a few tea posts! I enjoyed a large cup of my favorite shop coffee this morning, but am settling in for a nice cup of afternoon tea for the moment. Rainy, wet, dreary kind of day – but it’s warm and cozy in our home, so I’m snuggling in.

After a few tea posts, I’m glad to get back to some Company Girl Coffee talk! But its because I have a very exciting announcement:

I’m the New Owner of Mommies Coffee Break!!!

While this will continue to be my personal blog, I have really felt God speaking to my heart about ministering to women online in a little bit different manner. Many of the sweet people who follow me here and leave comments are already good friends of mine, and I hope you’ll all be able to follow me in both places.

It’s going to get a bit of a sprucing up in the next week or two, and then I’ll be digging into some good stuff. I’ll be keeping up here – but things will probably be shorter (and hopefully, sweeter, too!)

If you aren’t subscribed here, just click the icons in the top left of the page – you can subscribe by email or by a reader – your choice. And be sure to subscribe to Mommies Coffee Break, too!

I’ve always thought I might have a couple of personalities, so we’ll see how they play out online. LOL!

Rachel Anne at Home Sanctuary mourns some fashion hits & misses of her youth today. Makes me laugh.

As far as fashion is concerned, I don’t always like what is “popular” – but I tend to gravitate towards the classics with a twist. I prefer NOT to wear black. Ever. I really enjoy Navy and Chocolate if I’ve got to go dark…

When I was younger, I liked to wear some brighter colors (turquoise, pink, mint green)! Thankfully, I was blessed with some nice hand me downs from gals with GREAT fashion sense (for the most part) and I was able to enjoy some outfits during Jr Hi and High School that I wistfully remember to this day. Being an 80′s chick – I had the perm and some big hair and used banana clips like God himself created them. (No I don’t have photos to digitally load. Seriously, people… But I’ve got, ahem,”friends” on Facebook who have posted a couple…)

I’d prefer to spruce up my wardrobe, but I’ll wait until Georgie realizes that smearing spaghetti sauce in her hair isn’t cute EVERY time… Until then, I’ll enjoy the Tshirts and comfy pants and running around in sandals most of the year…

Hey – my greatest fashion accessory (besides my beautiful girls) is a GiNormous Cuppa Coffee, so as far as Fashion is concerned – I’m the IT girl!!!

P.S. – I’ve got a cookbook giveaway going on here through 10/15 – click here to find out how to enter!

A Full Cup – Company Girl Coffee Time!

queenmommy

Happy Friday everyone – enjoy your Company Girl Coffee time today!

This week just flew right on by, didn’t it? School’s starting up in our area – Curly’s starts next week – and my own classes start up on Monday!

Can I just say – again – how much I love Home Sanctuary? I am so inspired – so refreshed every time I visit. I’m finding some motivation to accomplish some of the tasks Rachel Anne puts out there – and it feels good. Easy, accomplishable tasks – gotta love it. Don’t forget to sign up for her occasional newsletter!

After posting a couple of posts this week, it’s nice to find a place of solitude – even online. Things at home are starting to slowly take shape. I’ve been able to remove or condense some clutter – a little bit every day – and I’m starting to feel less “foggy” at home. I’m tackling clutter in little pieces because, frankly, it overwhelms me. I know why professional organizers have jobs! To help people like me – who need help seeing the forest for the trees. more…
