I wanted to start my first post on to topic nearest and dearest to my heart….you’re thinking kids, right?  Nope too easy.... it's coffee. 

Mornings suck! What's worse than mornings? Early mornings. With a toddler and a baby, the ability to sleep past 6:00 in the morning is a pipe dream. I reluctantly admitted intravenous injections of caffeine was not an option, so I had to come up with an alternative. To simplify my coffee making routine I dedicated a little niche in my kitchen to all things java. The lower shelf of my cupboard houses several mason jars neatly lined up and labelled and the upper shelves hold the mugs and paper filters

Some of the contents of the mason jars are:

coffee

Regular flavour

Flavoured coffee (for when I am feeling wild)

Hot chocolate

Whitener (I know it’s bad for me but honestly I don’t care)

Instant coffee (aka fake coffee)

Tea bags

Sugar and sweetener packs

Having this in one place makes the morning routine flawless. Now if only the rest of my day would follow suit. 

For your own little slice of mocha heaven try the following gourmet mix.

Re: Mommy needs coffee......NOW!

I always swore I'd never start a coffee habit, until I started getting up 5:30/6am. I love flavored coffee the best.

I like this, all my favorite coffees so easy to see, and grab. I like the mason jar idea! they are small enough for the fresh grind coffee's from the store, and I bet it keeps the coffee fresh. i just get a bit at a time, especially when trying something new.
