I Got A New Mug-I-Tude! Mom Loves Mugs

-

Moms have always loved mugs.  Even the ones you made in kindergarten and decorated for her.

Mugs are practical.  You can never have too many.  Well, I can never have too many.  They hold our favorite beverages, like coffee.  They warm our hands.  They're comforting.

 I woke up to a wonderful surprise this morning.  When I went into my China cabinet to "rotate my mug," I found a brand new mug that I purchased over Christmas and had never opened.

 I was so inspired by the Starbucks "Dot" Mug Collection (my name being Dot and all) that I may or may not have bought a few extra when they went on sale.

 This "Earth and Water"® design reminds me of watercolors, art museums and green grass.

 Not a bad way to start my day.  With a brand new "Mug-i-tude."

 Mother's Day is Sunday.  Maybe one of your mom-friends could use a new mug-i-tude.

It's Not Your Mother's Eight O'Clock Coffee - Columbia Single Serve Cup

You may not have noticed, but Eight O'Clock Coffee (which I used to refer to as Eight O'Clock Bean Coffee) has experienced a new attitude. There's new packaging and now there is even an Eight O'Clock K-Cup(R). I enjoy and delight in experiencing artisan roasted coffee and I can ride the "third wave" as good as the next person, but sometimes I just want to remember the way things used to be. So, the Eight O'Clock K-Cup  is the perfect way to enjoy a coffee that's always had a special place in my heart - but with a new twist. All these new single-serve coffees are making me lazy. But, don't worry, I'm an equal opportunity coffee-lover. Here's to the weekend!

All Time Favorite Coffee Jingles

I have consumed a lot of coffee over the last couple of decades, but it's mainly through "trial and error," "word of mouth," or "pure luck," that I found those I've enjoyed the most. And, of course, the folks who reach out and let me know about the great coffees that are out there. But with micro roasters becoming more and more popular, and grocery store coffee being talked about less, even though many supermarket varieties are very good, I can't help but remember some of those jingles and television commercials that remain etched in my mind. Some of my favorite coffee jingles: "Good to the Last Drop" (TM) (Maxwell House) "Richness Worth A Second Cup" (TM) (Yuban) "The Best Part of Waking Up, Is Folgers In Your Cup" (TM) And, last but not least, drumroll. . . .my all-time favorite: "Fill It To the Rim With Brim" (TM) (Brim Decaffeinated Coffee) (special thanks to my sister for remin...
