Morning Commute Made Easier + Giveaway

November 30, 2015 | Ad-free, Giveaway

This post was sponsored by Contigo®, however there is a GIVEAWAY at the end, and I truly think this product is really cool and something many of my readers can relate to/find helpful in your daily lives, so read on!

My morning “commute” looks different than it may for some people, but I rush around getting everyone ready and in the car just those people that are heading to the office, except first I am usually headed to the gym, and then back home to my home office.

contigo

I am a believer in the power of coffee, and am not coherent or of any help to anyone until I have had at least a few sips. A lot of mornings I don’t have time to finish my coffee before it’s time to go, so I have to drink it on the run. This is always a problem, because I cannot stand cold coffee, and with my other travel mugs, cold coffee is what you get.

contigo travel mug

Not only cold coffee, but coffee that sloshes all over you and your pants as you try to get your bags and your child’s bag into the car. I started using the Contigo® Meta travel mug, and things have gotten way less stressful around my house when it comes to my morning commute.

meta travel mug

The first thing that drew me to this mug is the length of time it will keep your drinks hot or cold. This bad boy has double-wall vacuum insulated Thermalock™ technology, so drinks stay hot for up to five hours, and chilled for up to TWELVE hours!

My other favorite feature is the fact that it is pretty much impossible to spill my drink on myself while juggling bags plus the baby. The  AUTOSEAL® patented technology seals up the drinking spout in between sips when you press one button, so no spilling!

For those of you who commute daily on public transportation, the Meta travel mug would be perfect because you can seal your drink in between sips to keep debris, dust, people’s sneezes, and the like with the commuter-inspired CleanGuard™ spout cover that rotates to close off the drinking area when not being used.

In addition to Contigo’s AUTOSEAL® Metra Travel Mug, I was also sent the AUTOSEAL® West Loop Travel Mug. to try out, and I love it, too!

Contigo

    I love pretty much everything Contigo! Their coffee mugs are the best for travel, and their waterbottles are my favorite! I’d use my new coffee mug to bring coffee to work with me (and have more than one coffee mug and not have to wash it every night!)

  5. Jen A says

    November 30, 2015 at 7:48 am

    November 30, 2015 at 12:52 pm

    I would SO use this as my mornings are crazy! So the fact that it could keep my iced tea nice and cold for 12 hours would be amazing!!!!

  13. Stephanie says

    November 30, 2015 at 1:09 pm

    Would love this for my mornings. I am always carrying 5 different bags out and the autoseal would be amazing.

  14. Tara says

    November 30, 2015 at 4:01 pm

    I love this mug for when I’m running around school and forget about my coffee for 30 plus minutes. It’s always cold by the time I get it.

  15. Lisa Weidknecht says

    November 30, 2015 at 4:41 pm

    Since I must have coffee to make it through my mornings, I would fill it with coffee and take it everywhere!

  16. AER says

    November 30, 2015 at 5:02 pm

    This would be perfect for my morning commute! I drive about 45 minutes to my job as a teacher, but I hate drinking my tea while driving. I’d love this to help me keep my beverage warm when I get to school!

  17. Ann Fantom says

    November 30, 2015 at 6:52 pm

    Actually, I’d like to win this for my son – who works A LOT. He loves coffee and this mug would make his drive much more pleasant.

  19. Brandy says

    November 30, 2015 at 8:31 pm

    I’m so the same way in the am- without at least a few sips you might as well forget it 😉 The problem is keeping it hot in the car and I have yet to find a travel cup that can do that! I would love to win and enjoy hot coffee not lukewarm coffee!

  20. Danielle u says

    November 30, 2015 at 8:40 pm

    November 30, 2015 at 9:25 pm

    Love love love Contigo! Mugs and water bottles! I do not like when my coffee gets cold and I won’t finish it at all and would love a new mug to have in rotation so I don’t have to wash mine all to time. I also have a horrible habit of spilling my drinks on me so these are perfect!

  22. Sarah says

    November 30, 2015 at 9:39 pm

    Welcome to my life! My coffee is never warm by the time I get to it! This would be perfect to keeping it warm:)

  23. Allie says

    December 1, 2015 at 6:24 am

    YES! This would be perfect to throw in my work bag. Too many times I am carrying my son, his diaper bag, my work bag, water, and coffee. Having a cup I could put into a bag without it spilling would be perfect!

  24. John says

    December 1, 2015 at 9:28 am

    Would be a great give for my wife to use during the spring soccer season.

  27. Rachel says

    I would take this with me and leave it in my car when I do my long runs on the weekends. I would LOVE to have hot coffee waiting for me when I finish!

    Toddler Spawn loves drinking from my cup, so I would keep this one at home so she can’t drink my coffee from it!! I can’t tel you how many times I’ve caught her sipping my iced coffee. #SIDEEYE

  31. Heather says

    December 4, 2015 at 1:09 pm

    I am in need of a nice travel mug that fits into my cupholders! I love the colors and design

  35. Ally says

    December 6, 2015 at 5:41 pm

    It would definitely be a help on my morning commute, but more so while I’m doing paperwork. I have this serious fear of coffee all over my notes!

  36. Tessa says

    December 6, 2015 at 9:10 pm

    I could use this for my coffee on cold winter mornings to work!

  37. Megan Copello says

    December 7, 2015 at 6:19 pm

    I didn’t know this existed! We have Yeti’s which also keep your beverages hot but there isn’t any rubber around it to protect your hand, so I don’t like to put my coffee in it. I would LOVE this for all the commuting I do for work. Cold coffee is not fun. Plus I love the color combo on yours 🙂

    • Heather says

      December 8, 2015 at 4:25 pm

      I love the color, too!

This one is great for busy folks who want to make a “special” drink without too much fuss. 🎄 

It’s literally just water frozen in the bottom of a glass with some rosemary taped in it. I waited a few hours the poured in some Prosecco and added in edible glitter (you can use multiple colors!) pretty and delicious, and keeps your drink cold! Cheers! 🥂 ❄️

The end of the year is always a time that I reflec The end of the year is always a time that I reflect on how things went, what I want to do different or better in the new year, and to be honest…I’m always really hard on myself.😕

I often end up sad or frustrated that things didn’t “turn out as planned.” But planned according to who? Success according to what? 

As we were ice skating last weekend at Gaylord Opryland, laughing and just having so much fun as a family, I was hit with what I can only describe as a warm fuzzy. I wanted to smile and cry all at the same time. I thought to myself….this is it right here. 🥹

If nothing else good happens, I’ve got this and am so rich because of it. These moments. This is what I always prayed for as a girl when imagining my family one day. And it’s here, happening right now. I don’t want to wish it away waiting for the next big thing to happen. 

I just want to ice skate with them in a place that makes us so happy. Wha a year. ⛸️ ❤️

It’s still Thanksgiving weekend so this counts as It’s still Thanksgiving weekend so this counts as a Thanksgiving post, right? 🦃🫶🏻

I took the day off on Thursday and then worked a ton Friday, EK had bball Saturday and then we went out of town. I realized I never posted for turkey day! 😜

I have so much to be thankful for, most days I feel completely undeserving. God has been good to us, even in the days that don’t feel so good. His plans may not make sense at the time, but thankfully He is the one that sees the whole picture, not us! 

We are going into the Christmas season with hearts full of gratitude and love as we celebrate the birth of Jesus. This is the most special and my favorite time of year! Let the celebrating continue! 

Lastly, I am thankful for all of YOU! For liking, commenting on, and watching my content over the years. Without you, my career doesn’t exist and I am beyond thankful for the opportunities this job has given me. So THANK YOU! 🫶🏻
