Nanny to Mommy

Struggling to buy presents for people has been ever-present for a long time so it is no surprise that you may find yourself looking for a guide to help you get a gift for your friends or family. It is easy to overlook simple things when you are looking at presents, and it is a great idea to refresh your mind and get some ideas that could trigger you to remember something great you could get them. 

There are so many things they could like and be into, and even things they could already own that you are unaware of. This is why present shopping is such a minefield to navigate for some people. The best thing to do is to find out what they like and go from there. Most people love coffee it is something that keeps them going throughout their day. This makes them relatively easy to shop for, so here are some gift ideas for your coffee lover. 

I have been making my own coffee at home for years now. In fact, I never really liked coffee until I started making it myself and learned I could make it however I wanted. With the current state of our country and most everyone still staying home, many people are learning to make their own coffee at home. I am so excited to share a new eco-friendly and money saving option from Hamilton Beach.

I recently receive the Hamilton Beach The Scoop Single Serve Coffee Maker to review. This uniquely designed Coffee Maker will brew ground coffee in less than 90 seconds. Brew options include eight ounces or a 14-ounce travel mug as well as regular or bold settings without the use of pods or disposable filters. Making this more eco-friendly and more financially friendly as well since ground coffee tends to be cheaper. I love how small and compact it is too. It is the perfect size for us to take along on our camping trips in our camper. Would also make a great gift idea for a college student if they are living in a dorm.

If you are like me, then you love coffee. I have only been a coffee person since I had children of my own. I honestly have no idea how I survived being a nanny without it. I actually started drinking it when I became a "working stay-at-home mom" which means I was watching my friend's little girl too and had to wake up oh so early so she could drop her off every morning.

My coffee habits have evolved now. I like the taste of coffee way more than I use to and since I enjoy it so much more than I use to, I would drink it all day every day if I could! I don't use as much creamer and definitely not as much sugar in it as I use to.

Our first single serve coffee maker served it's purpose for a little while, but it was time for an upgrade. I have been a HUGE fan of Keurig brand coffee makers since our first one we have ever owned. Each one had different features that we love. We even owned a Keurig 2.0 for a little, but the newest Keurig K-Duo Essentials is by far our favorite because it fits all of our needs while being a budget friendly option. I think I would make a great gift for the office. I also think it would be perfect for people who are like my sister-in-law and her husband. He drinks an entire pot of coffee made his way while she prefers just a cup or two made a little stronger with cream/sugar.

Summer is right around the corner and I don't know about you, but we are so busy during the summer and it can be hard to make healthy choices. I try to meal plan ahead and bring my lunch if I can and make sure I make myself some kind of breakfast. My go-to breakfast for on-the-go is a Coffee Protein Smoothie. It is easy to make with only 4 ingredients and I just throw every in the blender, then I'm done and ready to go. I have recently discovered a new vegan protein shake powder that has really stepped up my plant based protein in a very yummy way.


The VeganSmart All-In-One Nutritional Shake contains a complete protein blend of five different non-GMO plant-based proteins to build and repair body tissue and muscle. The whole food complex consists of nine different healthy, colorful fruits and vegetables to support wellness. Each shake has 22 vitamins and minerals to support healthy cell function. The fiber content helps to keep you regular, while the omega blend supports a healthy brain, heart, and circulatory system. The shake contains prebiotics to stimulate the growth and maintenance of beneficial intestinal flora. The digestive enzymes blend assists in digesting foods more completely for greater absorption of nutrients.

We have been back to school for a month now. It has been a little easier for me to get back into our back-to-school routine this year then it has been in years past. I think it is because I have a few tips that I started following this year and it really helped us get back into the swing of things.

About the Prizes:

I received complimentary products to provide this post. All opinions are my own.



I actually had never heard of Friendly's when I signed up to review this coffee. I love coffee and I love sharing my love of coffee with others, but apparently Friendly's is a restaurant? And they serve breakfast, dinner, and ice cream. And Two Rivers Coffee Co. has put the last one in a k-cup.

 

I was sent a 40-ct. box Friendly's Single Serve...in coffee cup form to review. Now you can enjoy the taste of all your favorite ice cream flavors in your coffee mug.

I recently was sent the Two Rivers Mega Coffee for Keurig K-Cup Brewers to review. Not only is this coffee tasty (what I have tried so far), this coffee is also simply cool.

I received a complimentary Keurig 2.0 through Influenster to facilitate this review. All opinions are my own.

Did you know yesterday was National Coffee Day? How many cups did you have? ;D
I wanted to get this post up yesterday, but PicMonkey was acting up. :/
Anyways.
I drink coffee daily. Out of a single serve coffee maker. I didn't get into coffee until shortly after I started watching B, so when SweetPea was about 14-16 months maybe? But now I HAVE to have my morning cup o' joe (and even sometimes two). I not only need that pick-me-up, but I also like the taste. My husband says I really like the taste of my creamer with a splash of coffee. Pfft. No one has time for that negativity in their life.



Now saying all that, I've never owned an actual Keurig before, but we do have a single cup Mr. Coffee brewer that is Keurig certified. So when I received the opportunity to review the new Keurig 2.0 that can make a single cup AND a 4-cup carafe, I jumped all over the opportunity! Whenever we have people over, they want a cup of coffee. But single serve brewers can take up too much time, energy, & aren't really cost effective.
