Kimmi 12:00:00 AM 1 comment Edit

1. Mornings in those few moments when you are still comfy and snuggled in the blankets. When the world is still quiet.

2. Journaling

3. Snuggles with Kyra

4. Smell of the cold air

5. Hot Cocoa

6. Fall Leaves

7. The pups- Kiya, Arya, and Luna

8. That first sip of coffee

9. Meditation

10. Waves

What Makes you peaceful?

Life Lately...

So last week was a bit topsy turvy for me. I'm not going into it because it is all personal stuff but today I am back to blogging and I thought I would share some of the pictures from some happy times these past few days.

The weather has been better around here so I've been trying to make sure that Kyra and I get out and about to explore the world.

Park time fun; caterpillar, MASSIVE mushroom

Also last week we went to the Renaissance Festival and while it was fun it was also pretty hot that day. Still Kyra was cute as ever.

Pumpkin Spice is taking over. I don't mind. Still...is there a flavor Oreo won't try?

People keep telling me that avocados are the best. I have never gotten into them. However I was told to try it on toast with red onion, salt, and pepper....and I really liked it. Damn it.

Now for a bit of fun motivational/inspirational stuff:

Welcome back Monday.

If were were having coffee....

The soundtrack music would most likely be Peppa Pig, Peep's Big Wide World, Little Charmers, or Fall Out Boy if Kyra is watching Big Hero Six.

The Coffee is made by the cup via Keurig. I usually just make Folgers via the Eco Cup but I do have some pumpkin spice that I have been hoarding if you are interested.

I have a million awesome mugs to choose from.

I only have vanilla creamer but I do usually have milk and sugar.

Baked goods are always an option. I will have to whip some up but if I know what you like I promise it is no trouble.

We could talk current events but I'm more inclined to talk about the awesomeness of Netflix Original Series Stranger Things.

I will apologize approximately 10 times for the state of my house. It's clean but I have a three year old who has MANY toys. Also I have three dogs. Also I cut myself no slack.

I will be happy to discuss the merits of skin care and makeup. These are two items I can talk about at great length.

I will probably forget to offer you seconds on everything but just know you can help yourself. It makes me so happy when someone enjoys something I made enough to want more.

I would tell you that I've missed Blogging. I've missed writing. I've missed that awesome feeling when you hit "Publish".

I would tell you that no matter what problem you are dealing with I'm here to listen. I won't offer advise since that isn't really my thing...but I will be there to listen.

I would tell you that I'm so glad you stop by this little space for some portion of your day. There are millions upon millions of blogs out there...and it means the world that you stopped by mine.

Finally I would tell you that we should make this a regular thing. That it does everyone good to simply sit and enjoy a cup of coffee...

A Monday Review- Keurig 2.0

Kimmi 12:00:00 AM 1 comment Edit

Good Morning Everyone!

Today I am going to share with you my review of the new Keurig 2.0!

First off the details:
Keurig 2.0
2 Free boxes of Sample Cups!
Cleaning Solution
Filter (not pictured)
Carafe is sold separately!

I was actually sent this awesome machine by Influenster so that I could try it out and give you all my opinions on it! Honestly when I was taking the quiz on the site I had no idea it was for a Keurig...I thought they were just going to send me samples of coffee! I was totally surprised when on a Saturday morning the FedEx guy dropped this off for me. I thought it was just a Keurig box that someone had packaged something else I ordered in...but nope! Instead it was a brand new Keurig 2.0 and that led to some awesome happy dancing around the living room!

Now I also have a regular Keurig that I just got for Christmas for my husband and I know I blogged here about how much I loved it. I am the only coffee drinker in the house and I love not having to make a whole pot for just myself. I also love how quickly it is ready to go for those days that I don't have the energy (or patience) to wait for the coffee to be ready. No one likes it when I haven't had my coffee.

Here is what I like about the 2.0:
-Same awesome speed- as I said no one likes it when Mama misses her coffee

-The touch screen- I can't help it. I love touchscreens.

-The new slim design- So much sleeker than the old one and takes up much less space

-The water reserve- This might seem like a ridiculous thing but I like the the reserve is on the back instead of the side with this one. I also like that the whole top of it comes off and you aren't trying to pull off one side and pour at some weird angle...but again that is just my own thing.

- The options for Hot Chocolate or Strong Coffee- I never did like the Hot Chocolate in my Keurig. It takes like chocolate water and that is just not my jam. I personally rarely need a STRONG cup of coffee but I have friends that do prefer that and I love to have the options.

-The Carafe option- As I stated above, occasionally I have friends over that do enjoy coffee and I love being able to now have the option of making an entire carafe!

What I don't like:
-Not compatible with my refillable K cup- Okay I get this, you wanna make money on your brand and make sure that everyone uses it...blah blah. Um maybe if they weren't pricey and you offered ALL THE FLAVORS. I'm sorry but I really love picking up just picking up some random coffee flavor and filling it in my K cup. I like options!

- Carafe not included- again probably just me being a brat but I now I have to make a trip and pick up the carafe to try it out!

So what do you all think? Like the sleek new style? Are you a Keurig user? Do you like it? Share your thoughts down below!

***Disclosure****- As stated above I was sent this item by Influenster for review. I was not compensated in any other way and as always opinions are my own!

Monday Meme's Over Coffee

Good Morning Everyone,

So this morning I thought to myself, "I'm so ahead of the game! I have all my posts planned in my calendar for the month! I have some great new content ready to go!" then as I flipped open my calendar to see what I had scheduled for today...I saw that I had nothing! The first "real" day of the challenge I set for myself and I didn't bother to schedule anything!
