I Have a Need...a Need for Caffeine!

Whitney over at The Glamorous Life of a Housewife wrote this post the other day that completely spoke to me.  I too have always wanted to drink coffee, but absolutely *hate* the taste.  I've tried it several different times, with always the same results.  And like Whitney, I could really use a morning caffeine fix to get me ready to chase after Little M all day! {and Diet Coke is not really acceptable at 7:00 am}

So today, while food shopping, I picked up some new supplies.  First I got this:
Chocolate cappuccino coffee.  Yum!  I can get used to anything with chocolate!  And then I grabbed some of this to add in 



I got the caramel flavored one.  Even chocolate and caramel have to make coffee taste good, right?  I plan on giving it a try tomorrow morning.  I'll let you know how it turns out!

    Yum! I'm a coffee addict and don't need anything to love it. Yet a little added chocolate is never a bad thing... ;)

    I can completely relate to this post. I hate the smell and the taste of coffee, but I could really use the caffeine pick-me-up (I'm a working wife and mother). I found it in Earl Grey tea, and it gave me the boost I was searching for.

    However, I had to stop when I became pregnant with our #2 - though my doctor said one cup of my tea is okay, I read about too many risks caffeine poses to a growing baby.

    I dooooo have that same desire too.... I want to drink coffee, and I used to (well, starbucks) but when I got pregnant with the oldest one I quit and haven't looked back until recently. I may have to try your coffee trick... tell me how it works out!

    Oh my goodness, if we lived closer we seriously would be best friends! I can't stand the taste of coffee either! And don't laugh but I just love how chic people look when they have a cup of coffee in their hands! I love that I'm not dependent on coffee to get my day started but still. I've found that adding extra flavoring when I get a latte really helps! Just an extra shot/pump or two of vanilla and my drink tastes soooo much better! And mocha frappachinos are yummy too! But those are all drinks that I have to go out to get. I have not been able to find something I can make at home that tastes good enough! I can't wait to hear how this one tastes! And I too beleive that chocolate makes EVERYTHING taste better!

Spring Giveaway!

First off I want to thank Kim over at Life As I Know I t for becoming my 100 th follower! I love her blog and just know we would hang out all the time if she didn't live across the country. I am completely humbled that 100 people actually want to read what I have to say! Blogging has opened up a whole new world of friendships to me and I would probably not have kept doing it if it was not for all of you! Okay, now it's down to the good stuff. I am *dying* for a little spring around here. We had a few days of warmth and sunshine, but for the past three days it has been raining...again....I heard they have even mobilized our National Guard in case the rivers decide to really get out of hand...you know more than the crazy flooding they've already been doing. Anyways, one of my favorite things to do to get ready for spring is to paint my nails a fun, bright color. So today I am giving away these beauties. One lucky reader will win all four of these fabulous colors! I g...

$50 CSN Giveaway!!

As you all know, I have raved about my love of CSN stores several times before.  They have a huge selection of products and are constantly adding new stores to their website.  My family definitely headed over there to do some of our Christmas shopping, and I was just perusing their selection of flat panel TV stands.      It's one thing, however, for me to tell you how great CSN is.  But it's another for you to experience it yourself.  That is why I am so excited to be sponsoring a $50 gift certificate giveaway to CSN to one of my readers!!!  It's the perfect opportunity to order yourself something you didn't receive for Christmas, or check out their fitness equipment to help with your new year's resolution! Entering is simple...just leave a comment telling me what your new year's resolution is {you can also just say you aren't making any this year if that's the case!}  The giveaway will be open until January 7th 10:00 pm est.
