Coffee Freak

"Ode to Coffee"

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love that I can smell your deliciousness even through the box.
I contemplate putting you in a box with locks
So that I can have you all to myself.
I love all the flavors I can find you in
Like Elf Juice, Peppermint Stick, Amaretto, and Chocolate Cream.
I love when you swirl into my coffee cup.
I love the warmth you provide.
I love to hear the coffee pot beep
To let me know you are ready to drink.
I love that on a bad day you will hide my rum
and not tell anyone because you are such a chum.
No matter summer or winter, you are what keeps me
From freaking out in the morning and makes me sweeter.

How do you like that prose?! You know that part about the rum was just a joke, right? Well, maybe just a little joke. I know. I'm a coffee freak, and you are probably tired of hearing about it.

I'm getting sad because my Chocolate Rum Truffle from Get the Bean is almost gone. I do so love a good coffee and out here in the boondocks it's hard to find. (I feel like I'm still rhyming.)

I just had to share how marvelous her service was even for a giveaway. I got my bag in 2 days all nicely packaged. I could smell it through the box. Not kidding. I even went out and got a new coffee pot to celebrate the fabness of my win. Look how cute the bags come! I hear her beans come from a family owned roastery. Is that the right word?

The Chocolate Rum Truffle will be missed until I get a new bag which will probably be a while since there are too many other flavors I want to try like Peppermint Stick. So...

Rip Chocolate Rum Truffle. Some of the most delicious coffee I've ever had.



P.S. Go check out Get the Bean. Which coffee would you get next?

Buy Coffee For Cancer Research

So many wonderful shops have been opening in the last couple of weeks! These are mommy shops, shops run by women, and shops that donate to cancer research.

The first I want to tell you about is Tip Junkie's Mom-Preneur's Shop-a-thon. Isn't such a great name?! This is a list of women and mommy's sites you can shop from. There is a wide range of shops from baby boutiques to art to paper accessories.



Another shop I want to tell you about it is the Created by Mom Chic Boutique. This is a brand new site where only mom-preneurs can sell. I have been browsing around and recognized a few sellers on there. I highly recommend Vintage Body Spa's Butter Beans. I also love that each item tells a little bit about the mom who makes/sells the product. If you're a mom-preneur, head on over there. There is a 20%discount to all moms who have items listed on the site.


Lastly, this is an awesome shop! Get the Bean is the place to find coffee or tea. Check out some of these coffee flavors: Bavarian Chocolate, Caramel Apple Pie, Chocolate Rum Truffle, and Irish Creme. I drool whenever I look through the flavors. Each month they will pick a new coffee and donate a portion of the proceeds to cancer charities. This month the coffee is Mexico Coetepec, and the proceeds will go to the Melanoma Research Foundation. In honor of their grand opening, they are having weekly giveaways of 1lb of coffee or tea on their blog.



Please go check these shops out and support the women who run them. Besides you might miss something you didn't know you needed!
