Two of life’s simple pleasures intertwined…

It was a typical morning. I was scrambling to get the kids off to school and I set my travel mug on the roof of my car. I know now that was a big mistake. It was when I finally got the kids buckled in and breathed a sigh of relief.  I closed the door, and then it happened. My travel mug dropped from about 5 ft and smacked onto the concrete.

I turned the broken mug upside down and tried to shake any remaining liquid into my mouth.…

Don’t let a tight budget stop you from having a great cup of coffee.

Types of Coffee Grinders There…
