Morning Coffee

Morning Coffee on the porch

I’ve been spending lots of time on our back porch lately. Even the early, chilly mornings. The flowers we added (and our new patio furniture from Target) really make the space much more inviting. I’m draw to the outdoors – to think, to breathe, to reset, to remember Truth.

The other morning the weirdest thing happened to me. It came in the form of a knock on the door at 7:00 in the morning. There was a second knock and I opened my eyes trying to figure out if this was a dream or not (we obviously don’t have kids because we were both still in bed.) There was one more knock and I hurried down the stairs throwing out my mouth guard (I know, cute right?!) and peeked the door open.

“Oh great! You’re home!” The mailman smiled at me and shoved a package into my hands. I thanked him, shut the door, and wondered what was so important 😉 I opened the package (after throwing my hair up and pulling my sweatshirt on) and discovered that there was a Thermos® of hot coffee packed inside. It was an overnight shipment of hot coffee ready for me to enjoy. That makes waking up a bit easier 😉

So I spent the morning sipping hot coffee on the back porch. Reading, resting, dreaming, and getting ready for the day. Mornings are not always that bad… and coffee helps a lot! National Thermos Brand Day is May 19 (AKA tomorrow) and YOU can enter to win an Overnight Coffee shipment of your own right to your front door!! Thermos® Brand, Brewed Coffee, and an extra bag of Dark Matter Coffee all included! To win, ENTER HERE!

That is so cool! Never heard of anything like that!
I tried to click on the “enter” link, but it seems like there was no link attached? There was nothing to hover over and click.

If this is the package I would receive, I would not complain at all to be woken up by the mailman! Such a cute thermos and coffee sounds amazing. I would love to sit on my back porch and just enjoy the fresh air, sunshine, and plants around me ♥

That mug is so cute! I feel the warmer weather pulling me outside more and more these days, too. I’m not a coffee drinker, but I do love sipping a good cup of hot chocolate or tea as I wake up.
