#CoffeeMyWay

When Jessica from Wayfair contacted me to write a post for the #coffeemyway campaign, it was an automatic yes!  While I'm not the biggest coffee drinker in the world, I look forward to that one magical cup in the morning.  I actually start looking forward to that first sip the night before!  There's something so soothing and comforting about a cup of coffee in the mornings.  That cup is what gets me ready and awake to tackle the day.


The way my coffee is prepared each day differs.  It depends whether my husband is home or not.  If he's home, he usually grinds the coffee beans with his burr grinder and brews the coffee in his beloved Bunn coffeemaker.  He's a HUGE coffee lover and drinks around three cups a day, so I let him take the lead in brewing the mornings that he's home.

If he is at work, I turn on my trusty Keurig and brew a breakfast blend - in my favorite mug of course!  I take my coffee light (with half & half) and no sugar.  I'm not into sweet coffee, unless it's iced coffee - so this is my favorite way to drink it.


After fixing my coffee I give the kids some fruit or their breakfast and then sit in my quiet dining room and write my post for the day.  I love this time of the day so much!  It's so relaxing to sit and type while I drink my coffee.  It helps me start the day off right - with a little quiet and "me time", which is so important when you're a stay-at-home mom.


What's your morning ritual like?  Do you sit and enjoy your coffee quietly or do you drink it during the hustle and bustle of the morning?

My fam loves thei bunn maker. I love your mug. I've been off caffeine for awhile but when I'm not I make old fashion espresso and froth some milk for a latte.

Our J's would be good friends because mine is the big coffee drinker too. I love my one cup in the morning mostly because of the smell and tradition of it. If I'm feeling really wild I may have a second later that day. Thank goodness for the Keurig!! I love your mug and your dining room :)

I like my coffee sweet, but I've actually been attempting to stop drinking it and replace it with Matcha tea smoothies in the am. I might still have some in the afternoon from time to time, but we'll see. The fact that it stains your teeth really bothers me. lol My mornings are usually crazy with three kids, but I wake up extra early to have some time for myself. xo

Because I like iced coffee, I make my coffee at night. In the morning it's nice and cold. haha. I drink it as I'm getting ready for work. I wish I could start my day off with a few minutes to myself but I always sleep to late. Getting up for work in the morning is really a chore for me.

I totally agree with you on coffee in the morning. I love that time. :-) However, I just drink black coffee. Except for when I go to Starbucks and get a latte once in a while. I hope that you have a great day too!! :-)

What a great mug! I had a Keurig and then I switched to a Nespresso and I am totally obsessed. I like the option to make espresso.

I don't drink coffee anymore :( The transition was SO hard because coffee was the one thing I got out of bed for... BUT I've come to love a good morning cup of tea, it took a good month but I'm settling back into a nice routine! XO

I love being able to relax on the couch and watch the Today show with my cup of coffee, but that only happens on days that I dont have to work. Most days I'm drinking it in my car on my drive to work.

Right now my current favorite mug to drink coffee out of is one I picked up at Disney World with a very tired Tinkerbell on it. It reminds me of good memories to start my day! I usually drink coffee as I'm getting ready, some days if I wake up early enough I can sit on the couch and drink it in the dark and quiet before anyone else wakes up. That is my favorite!

I look forward to my first sip of coffee the night before too! There's just something so soothing and relaxing about that morning cup of coffee :)

Too much wine = no coffee. Not too much wine = Keurig time hah. This was a cute post! And I love your cup :)

Green tea drinker here. The only time I drink a cup of coffee is on Sunday mornings. If I have too much it makes my heart race. Morning ritual, computer, hot tea, breakfast, GMA and off to get ready for work. Love mornings best! Cute mug by the way!

Most mornings I wish I had more time to enjoy my coffee- it's one of my favorite parts of the day. So nice to have your own grinder. I love the convenience of the Keurig but sometimes wish I had something else. Love that mug!

I always get my coffee at a drive-through in the morning on my way to work. Except today I ran out of time and proved to myself just how much I rely on this little routine. It wasn't pretty!
