How do you start your day? For me, my day starts with a trip to the coffeemaker. Thankfully my freshly brewed coffee is warmly waiting for me. What a tragic world we lived in before the invention of coffee timers! Let me be honest, I’m not a morning person. As a mother of three I have no choice but to rise early and start my day before the sun. As I lay in bed knowing I have to get up, I should get up, what actually gets me out of bed is knowing my warm, yummy coffee is ready. Those few precious moments that I have alone, with my coffee, before anyone else talks to me, before people start buzzing around the house, is what I really love.
As a sugar fiend I must add some ready made creamer to my morning cup, give it a swirl and then I’m ready to truly wake up. As Nana is living with us our coffee is currently decaffeinated, however my husband and I are ready to switch to the leaded variety. But even without the added caffeine, there is something about the warmth of a cup of coffee that starts my day off right. This very morning I made Starbucks Medium House Blend Decaf and it was delicious.
My husband likes to fill his thermos with coffee for the entire day. He is my coffee thief! One minute I have a pot of hot coffee, the next I have an empty container. He has learned the hard way to ask if I”ve had a cup before he takes his:)
There are so many varieties of coffee available. The options are literally mind boggling. I recently made a coffee shopping trip to Walmart to restock our supply. It is not a pleasant experience in our house when we run out of coffee. Three adults get “out of whack” without their needed fix in the morning!
I actually had the opportunity to make a night time, kids free run to Walmart. I almost never go shopping without one child so this was a real treat!
Remember how I mentioned there is so much coffee available? Wow! They all look so good! So many different flavors, blends, roasts, etc…. Is it wrong that I want to try them all? I am personally a fan of most hazelnut varieties and I am always game for any seasonal holiday blends. Drinking only decaffeinated at the moment does truly limit our options. I am excited to try some of the other caffeinated blends. After so many years of either being pregnant or nursing I can finally have “the real stuff”:)
Please give me some direction! What flavor of coffee do you drink?

I like Hazelnut myself!
My mother loves Dunkin’Donuts coffee. I myself just buy Folgers Dark…I like my coffee strong 🙂 I really like the Natural Bliss creamer like you have in your picture. If I run out, I use Evaporated Milk. I wish I liked skim milk in my coffee, but I need something “creamier”.
