Ode to Coffee Creamer

I thoroughly enjoy coffee. I drink at least one cup--sometimes two per day. I take it with cream and sugar. I am not a "straight up, industrial strength black coffee."

I can handle powdered creamer when it is the only option, but when I have the choice I prefer flavored creamer. The hubs and I agree on this issue specifically. I usually buy French Vanilla because it's something we both like.

However, it's the holiday season so there are lots of yummy flavored creamers out there and this blog post is in honor of them! It wouldn't be fall without a shout out to Pumpkin Spice!

I recently saw a commercial for Thin Mint creamer! Say what? I love those cookies. I am interested to see what this tastes like.

Did you know that you can freeze liquid creamer? Yes, you can. I scored a great deal on creamer one time at Publix with store and manufacturer coupons and they froze beautifully. You don't have to open them or anything. I've never had one bust or anything!

So thank you Coffemate, International Delight, and Bailey's for making delicious flavors to make my mornings and afternoons more tolerable LOL!

Until next time......keep your coffee strong, but a little sweet!

Another Simple Moment: Gazing

{my simple moment} – A new ritual. A single photo, maybe two – no words – capturing a moment from the week. A simple, significant, blessed moment. A moment I want to treasure and remember.

"Gazing"

Little Miss Turned 2

It's hard to believe, but I am not the mom of an official 2 year old? Um....where did time go? Didn't we just celebrate her last birthday just the other day? Wow. The whole milestone is a little breathtaking. It's a parenting moment that stops you in your tracks and puts you you in awh of God's miraculous accomplishment through you. She grows up more and more each day and while she is my "baby," she acts a little less like a baby and more like a big girl.

We had lots of yummy food for everyone!

Little Miss clung to mommy for a while until she warmed up to all her party guests. The funny thing is that she had played with all the kiddos before....just not at our house.

It wouldn't be a party without a read solo cup.



Little Miss got a lot of wonderful, wonderful gifts. Mommy and daddy and some cousins helped her to open them.

Of course, no party would be complete without cake and the birthday song! She really liked that part. Do you see that gigantic smile? Ah, warms my heart.

Lastly, check out this cool present she got my gal pal Jessica. This tent is awesome!! All the kiddos wanted to want to play in it. Let's be honest, some adults did too!

Overall, it was a great day. When the weather cleared a little we went outside to play which was fun because I made activity bags full of little goodies! This was another simple but very significant moment in our lives!
