Thankful Thursday: Coffee

    The Host http://themarathonmom.com/thankful-thursday-where-do-i-start.htm



 Coffee..... Oh, what can I say about coffee? You can make it in so many ways, many flavors, lots of creamers, sugars galore, drink it hot or cold, put it in recipes, gives you a nice jolt of energy, and on and on I can go. It's amazing stuff. Did I know this for awhile? NO! I have discovered how amazing it is over the past couple months.

I hate getting addicted to things. I seem to need change often and it's hard to continue with things once I get started. I have drank coffee on and off for a couple years because my dad drinks it. Once I discovered the mass varieties of creams and that I did not have to drink it black (like my dad) I started to venture into coffee drinking. I do not notice too much of an energy spike, but I love the taste and smell. I would brew it all day for the smell!


I am not sure about many moms, but in the morning when the kids are bouncing off the walls as soon as their little feet hit the floor I am like WHOA! Let momma wake up a minute. :) I have to grab my cup of coffee and then I deal with all the "I'm hungries" and cuppie request and more. It's like a little calming effect once I start sipping it's like ahhhh I can face the day. Bring it on! :)

Have a Blessed Day and a nice cup of joe!

  2. I hardly used to drink coffee at all. Usually only socially and if I had a particularily rough night and this Mommy needed some help to function the next day. However then I slowly got more and more addicted to the stuff and was drinking it everyday sometimes up to a pot a day just for myself. I loved it with French Vanilla creamer, or White chocolate mocha, or ...
    However this winter I just up and quit. I very rarely have a cup now. But that doesn't mean I don't love a cup. :)
    Enjoy!!!

    1. I can quit anytime. I am not actually addicted. :) It does taste yummy, but there are days that go by and I am like when is the last time I had coffee? haha I also love all kinds of creamers. My husband is always like another one? :)

  3. I drink it all day and all night. Does not keep me up, lucky for that. I used to drink it with sugar and creamer. Once you learn to drink it straight and enjoy the true flavor you won't need any additives.

    1. I have tried many times to drink it black. I just can not do it! Yuck. :) I have tried putting less and less flavoring in there, but it depends on the type of coffee I drink and if I like the taste.

      Have a Blessed day!
