It's been amazing and I absolutely LOVE it! I miss the classroom like crazy, but I still get to mentor & "teach", so it's working out wonderfully! My commute to the school is only 7 minutes (thank you, Jesus). When I was in the classroom, I woke up between 6-6:15...took a shower the night before. Woke up my boys at 7 and then headed out the door between 7:30-7:40. I would love to say I'm organized enough to meal prep, but I am SO not good at thinking ahead that far. I usually wait 'til halfway through the day to figure out what we're eating for dinner :) I hope this answers everything!!!

Well...I think I could have written this blog post! Well....except for the kids playing in the rain thing. It's still too dang cold in Indiana for that ;) I weaned myself off of my creamer with a splash of coffee addiction this year and I have to say I am really loving black coffee now :) I do treat myself to some Starbucks or another local coffee shop specialty every now and then though. I have too been on the search for the perfect K-cup. I do think coffee from a pot taste better, but I don't have time for that. LOL! So far, Green Mountain Caramel Vanilla is a staple in the house, but I am also enjoying Gloria Jean's Brown Sugar Cake as I type. I just bought some Folgers Sugar Cookie, which isn't too bad either. Are you seeing a constant theme hear? If they create a coffee with a name that includes some "desserty," I'm a sucker and I try it! I will definitely be looking for the Hazelnut Cinnamon Bun K-cup!Jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03376445866478161460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8623073248513759374.post-36105122424148528622015-03-23T14:08:33.194-07:002015-03-23T14:08:33.194-07:00I have gotten lots of new ideas for yummy coffee!!...I have gotten lots of new ideas for yummy coffee!!!

San Francisco Bay Gourmet Coffee French Roast. It is a nice strong coffee in a biodegradable kcup. You need to store in an air tight container to keep fresh. They average about .35 a cup, and can be found at Costco or Amazon. After trying many of your yummy recipes, I am pretty sure we have a similar taste. ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12619073895304482033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8623073248513759374.post-56777477655897567072015-03-23T07:31:38.972-07:002015-03-23T07:31:38.972-07:00I just tried Guy Fieri's Hazelnut Cinnamon Bun...I just tried Guy Fieri's Hazelnut Cinnamon Bun k-cup today and ohmiword...LOVE!!!!

Also, I am a teacher (and mum) working part time but thinking about going back full time in the new school year. I was wondering if you could do a blog post about 'a day in your life' kind of thing - mainly highlighting how you fit everything in. Eg. Do you work full time? How far do you commute to work? What time do you wake up? Do you do much meal prep etc? If you're not feeling a blog post, maybe you could just answer my (probably annoying) questions!!?? Haha. Thanks and love your work.
