Coffee is essential to most of us Moms. We aren't all privileged enough to be able to cruise through the ol' Starbucks drive-thru and order us a "Java Mocha Chip" every day the urge hits us.
Here are a few things that I do from time to time to perk up my cup:
I love the flavored instant coffees. International Coffees has some wonderful flavors and much to my delight, Starbucks has come out with single servings of their many different flavors. I add these mixes to my regular coffee to give it an extra kick as well as a yummy "flavor shot".
I also love adding spices to my Coffee before I brew it, especially during the holidays. You can skip on paying 9 bucks per bag of the "fancy stuff" and add pumpkin spice to your regular brew of choice. The possibilities with spices are endless!
My Mom purchased a Magic Bullet for me a few years ago as a stocking stuffer and I find that it works really well for making cold versions such as iced mocha. I basically use the instant stuff, blend it and add whipped topping along with a caramel or chocolate drizzle...whatever I am fancying at the moment.
The truth is, it's your cup of happiness. Make it work for you! You can take the 5 bucks you would spend at Starbucks and buy the add-ins that will easily last you 2 weeks. Now that's magic that Starbucks can't whip up for ya and I'll toast to that!
