My favorite things: Home is where your mom is!!

Posted on

Some of my most favorite things are the simplest things.  This time around it is a mug – yes you read that right – a coffee mug!

To me it is more than a mug; it’s a mug that my mom (I really said mommy) bought me.  It’s different, and I have never seen another made like it.  It is ceramic with cooked on paint and a plastic lid that is completely removable, and it reads, “Home is where your mom is”.  Doesn’t that saying just make you feel warm and fuzzy on the inside??

While I wish the saying was true (cause there would be a whole lot more money in my pocket, and less work for me to do when I walk in the door) every time I look at it, it does make me think about my mom.  Unregretful, I confess that at almost 30 years old, I am still a momma’s girl.  She drives me nuts; as I do her, but I absolutely love LOVE love her to pieces.

My favorite things: Starbucks Coffee

Posted on

As crazy as it may seem, one of my favorite things (or places rather) is the cozy and warm, classic and modern, retro yet simple place known as Starbucks coffee – but I DON’T drink coffee.  And once again this place has made me fall in love all over again.

After separating myself from there, for a great majority of the summer, the fall has come and knocked me right back into their open arms.  How you ask?  By offering a beverage that is so simply wrong, that everything about it is so right!  And while I have convinced myself I can make myself a whole weeks worth of the same beverages for a fraction of the cost, the reality is I just can’t; and I have tried.
