Friday Favorites: Keurig

March 4, 2011 | Uncategorized

 

TGIF! My days have been so mixed up here lately. I realized in my last Thursday’s post I thought it was Friday…I’m really not crazy, so sorry about that! Let’s rewind to yesterday. I did 25 minutes on the elliptical, some stretching, arm weights, and a couple of planks. I purchased Jillian’s 6 weeks to 6 pack abs DVD yesterday on amazon and hope to incorporate it into my workout to get ready for swimsuit season! I will try and remember to post some before and after pictures when I am done. I love a good before and after photo! This weekend my workouts will consist of moving into my house. YAY! I am heading out of here in a couple of hours to head up to our old house. Movers come tomorrow! EEEKK! it’s REALLY happening this time!

Because I will be up to my eyeballs in boxes, I have arranged another guest post for everyone for tomorrow! So be sure to stop by and show some love. I promise to take lots of pictures of the house for you though! The guy is supposed to come set up our new awesome fiber optics on Saturday afternoon so hopefully I will be up and running Sunday.

Ok, onto today’s favorite! I have yet again decided to do a non running or fitness Friday favorite because well, I just want to! So, my new favorite thing is my parent’s Keurig. I. am. obsessed. Before I moved in with my parents, I didn’t drink hot coffee. I drank the occasional Frappuccino or iced coffee, but never hot coffee. One day I slept horribly and my mom suggested I try one of her flavored K-cups. That mixed with some hazelnut creamer and oh my goodness I was in heaven! I started out only drinking it every few days…then every other day…now it’s every morning! Granted, I still don’t like the flavor of coffee all that much so I use truvia and flavored creamer, but still. It makes me happy.  My favorites are hazelnut, the Kona blend, and vanilla biscotti. I love that you can also do hot chocolate and tea. I plan to do iced tea in the summer. How fun! Now I am sad that I am moving and will not have access to said Keurig anymore. wwaaahhh!

Sorry for the lack of photos. I am pretty sure you know what a Keurig looks like and if not click on the link to their website above. Instead, I will leave you with pictures of the cutest puppy I know, Bella! If you are wondering why I don’t have more pictures of Sassy it’s because they don’t come out well since her fur is black! Also she is a loner and never hangs out around me when I have my camera.

Mom, I am trying to sleep, please stop!

Seriously lady, get the camera outta my face!

and for your viewing pleasure, here is a blast from the past from 1988 ish? My sister, me, and my dad. He’s such a stud!

Oh yes, before I forget, two things.

1.) go HERE and look at how stinkin’ cute Jess looks in the hat I sent her for winning my giveaway!

2.) I was nominated for another blogger award! This one is from Holley at Smart Snacking. I am way too lazy to nominate other bloggers, I have a house to get moved into, but I so appreciate the thought from sweet Holley, so go check out her blog. she just ran the Disney Princess Half!

QOTD: Do you drink coffee? what kind? Do you have a Keurig or want one?

    I just tried “Keurig coffee” for the first time at the end of January. I have just a normal coffee pot at home, so it wasn’t until I was at someone’s house on vacation that I got the opportunity to try. Would it be greedy to say I’d like both in my house? 🙂 I don’t like black coffee either. I MUST have sugar in my coffee, and I like flavored creamer if I can get my hands on lactose free stuff!

    My parents have a Keurig, and I love it – esp. for making raspberry iced tea! I maybe drink 2-3 cups of coffee a week – I drink tons of sweet tea and diet soda. When I do drink coffee, I drink it black.

    Good luck unpacking!

    I think I know what you need as a house-warming gift 😉 I used to not like hot coffee either. I’m not sure when I realized hot was good. I still prefer iced, but cannot make it well at home.
    Good luck moving! How exciting 🙂

    Girl- make a housewarming registry and put a Keurig on it. You’ll be surprised at what people might buy you, lol. I really wish I’d put one on my wedding registry :).

I used to think dairy-free desserts were “just o I used to think dairy-free desserts were “just okay.” Like, fine in a pinch… but never something I craved. 👀

But then this little picnic happened—just me, my girl, and a sweet treat we both loved enough to fight over the last bite. 😅

We’ve been trying to be more mindful with food choices lately (especially with summer travel coming up), and I grabbed these So Delicious treats at Kroger kind of on a whim. The new packaging caught my eye, but it was the taste that totally surprised us. Creamy. Indulgent. No weird aftertaste. And no, we’re not fully dairy-free—and we still loved them.

It’s one of those little swaps that doesn’t feel like giving anything up.

And that? That’s a win for both of us. ✨@So_Delicious

🚨 Homeschool decision!! If you have been aroun 🚨 Homeschool decision!!

If you have been around here since Christmas time, then you know we pulled Emma Kate out of her private school after the first semester and put her in a hybrid homeschool for the spring. The main reason being we wanted more absences than the school allowed. 

What is a hybrid? In our case, she went to a school all day 3 days a week, and we taught her at home two days a week. 

It seemed like the best of both worlds, not having absences count since we were also her teachers, being able to stay home some, sleep in, and travel. 

Well, it wasn’t all rainbows and butterflies. For one, the school we sent her to ended up not being what we thought. We were told being absent wouldn’t be a problem, but it became clear very early on her teacher was not a fan and she was not kind or accommodating to Emma Kate. There’s a lot of other reasons we didn’t blown the school I won’t go into. (If you are local and considering hybrid feel free to dm me and I will share my concerns and grievances.)

Teaching your kid is hard. There were lots of tears and frustrations, and she got bored since Bobby and I also work from home/I’m not a stay at hoke mom. We couldn’t just sit with her all day and teach her with our crazy long hours owning two businesses. 

It was tough to keep a schedule and while getting to travel a lot was great, she didn’t thrive on not having a routine and struggled with the randomness of everything.

She is also a very social only child who missed her friends and also wants to play sports for her school.

 In the end while there were a lot of pros to hybrid homeschool, the cons outweighed them for us so we are returning to her old school in the fall. 

Am I glad we did it? Yes! I always would have wondered otherwise and now we know. We will still be pulling her out of school some to travel in the fall, just not as much. 

If you have any questions feel free to drop them in the comments below and I will be happy to answer the best I can! 🩷

✨ Staying steps from the magic! ✨ We loved our ✨ Staying steps from the magic! ✨ We loved our visit to Anaheim Majestic Garden Hotel—especially with Disneyland celebrating its 70th anniversary! 

🏰 From the dreamy castle-themed rooms to the lush gardens, on-site dining, and a pool perfect for post-park relaxation… this place has it all. And the free shuttle to the parks? A total game changer! 🎉
