Take Back Your Morning With Seattle’s Best Coffee
I think women would be happier if we gave ourselves permission to be more selfish.
We take care of others and make sure that their needs and happiness are taken care of, but put our own needs and happiness on the back burner because there just isn’t enough time in the day to “get it all in” and have anything left to give ourselves. And when we do give ourselves a little attention we feel guilty, as if we’ve done something wrong, when we haven’t.
When do we ever sit down and just relax and sip a hot cup of coffee without worrying about staying on top of everything??
With 3 small boys, a hubby, a full-time job, this blog, and my DIY craft blog, I’m usually left with little time left for myself, which makes me feel frustrated and unbalanced.
So I tried a little experiment recently: I let go of the proverbial handle bars and waited to see if I would crash.
Guess what??
I didn’t! 🙂
In fact, my husband became the “training wheels” that continued to support me! He picked up the slack. And in return, I reclaimed some time for myself!
Taking Back My Morning (and Evening!)
So recently when I just decided to simply STOP striving for “Super Mom” status, I was able to take back my morning.
Morning routines in our household had always been stressful. We’d rush around and bark at the boys to “Hurry up! We’re going to be late!” And hubby and I would barely notice the other as we shuffled alongside of each other, too focused on just trying to survive another crazy morning to even notice each other.
I was finally able to pull myself together and initiated “night-before” planning: lunches packed, clothes ironed, floors mopped, toys stashed, and–best of all–counters were “crusty-stuff” free!
Perfect solution, right?
Wrong.
Although our mornings were a bit more stress-free, sacrificing my evenings to “get it all in” and prep for the next day left very little time for blogging and my DIY (do-it-yourself) projects.
Again, I found myself frustrated and unbalanced.
So, I simply…..STOPPED.
I stopped packing the kids’ lunch, stopped picking out their clothes, and I stopped cleaning the kitchen.
And guess who stepped up to the plate to do all these chores that I decided I no longer wanted to do?
Yep. Hubby did.
As a result, I had a lot more free time in the evenings AND time in the morning to just RELAX while getting my day started!
So, not only did I take back my evening and have more time for blogging and projects….BUT I TOOK BACK MY MORNING, TOO!
Relax and Have a Cup of Coffee, Will Ya?!
I’m not going kid you….it feels awesome basking in this “domestic liberation” each morning! (Yes, I’m coining that term!). And there is no room for guilt! To honor this liberation, I wanted to go to Wal-Mart and treat myself to some Seattle’s Best Coffee and a new coffee maker. Settle’s Best Coffee has this new initiative going on, Take Back Your Morning (you can even share with them how you take back your morning, too, and win daily prizes).
Oh, let’s not forget the $1.50 off coupon they email you when you enter to win. Considering that the Seattle’s Best Coffee is only about $5.00, that’s a nice little savings!
Around my house, we’re known sip on–GASP!–instant coffee, but we all know that it pales in comparison to the freshly ground stuff, like Seattle’s Best, so we really needed a coffee maker. Plus, the smell of hot brewing coffee is so wonderful and “homey”….mmmmm…..sorry, but instant coffee doesn’t have anything on that! I love the way it makes the house smell in the morning!
It was hard choosing between all 5 Levels, ranging from Light & Crisp to Dark & Intense, but I like to sip on something a bit light, so Medium-Light & Lively was perfect.
I love my new Mr. Coffee maker! I usually buy everything from the thrift store, but this was a special treat to myself, and sometimes, you just wanna buy something NEW!
Check out my coffee mug!! I picked it up a few months ago from one of my favorite stores, Home Goods, for just a few bucks. Isn’t it great? How perfect of a daily reminder of how AWESOME life is, as I start my day, hmm?
Yep, and there I am…..looking quite….in need of a cup of coffee! 🙂 (Did I really just post an early morning pic of myself for the world to see?!) But this is how I like to start my morning now! Just taking a moment to sit down an enjoy a cup of coffee with breakfast, uninterrupted, before I start my day.
Also, I now get a few more winks of sleep each morning, and actually get to apply my makeup in front of my bathroom mirror instead of in my rear view mirror! YES!!!
Ahhhh……
Selfish move?? Maybe.
Necessary move?? Most definitely!!
…And now it’s up to YOU to decide, how are YOU going to take back your morning?
Leave a comment below and share how you take back your morning!
And if you’re struggling with your mornings, share what’s holding you back! 🙂

Thanks for your posting on this blog. From my experience, there are occassions when softening up a photograph could possibly provide the photography with a bit of an artistic flare. Sometimes however, that soft clouds isn’t exactly what you had planned and can usually spoil a normally good snapshot, especially if you consider enlarging it.

One thing I’d like to say is always that before buying more computer memory, have a look at the machine within which it can be installed. When the machine is actually running Windows XP, for instance, the particular memory threshold is 3.25GB. Adding above this would basically constitute a new waste. Make certain that one’s mother board can handle the particular upgrade amount, as well. Interesting blog post.
