It's been a few days since I've posted and I just realized how close we are to the end of this amazingly fun time! 30 days to discover the wonderful aromas and flavors of Melitta Costa Rican and Guatemalan.  I've truly enjoyed every moment of it. Although Me Time has been a little scarse around here since my wife's accident I have reallly learned to appreciate it even more. I've grown and learned so much. I've learned to appreciate my wife and all she does and now realize how important it is for her to have time for herself away from me and the kids. As much as she loves us and loves spending time...

Hello everyone!

I hope you all had a relaxing Sunday! Wow I cannot beleive that this is the last Sunday before the challenge ends. It seemed like yesterday when I got a package from Melitta to do the challenge! So I couldn't go to bed without popping in for a bit to say hi!

I am just about to go to bed, after a wondeful day full of relaxation. My family and I decided to go out for dinner, so I was off dinner duties today! And I just had a relaxing bath. I don't think I remember when was the last time I did that (i'm more of a shower and go type of person!) but today I was in the mood for one! I...

The weather was beautiful again this weekend and my family and I enjoyed every moment! 

Although it may seem early to some, my children decided it was time to start decorating outside for Christmas!!  Maybe it is the bright red Christmasy Melitta mug that I can’t seem to part with, but I had no objections to starting to put up our lights... (don’t worry we aren’t actually turning them on just yet....)  With a cup of rich Guatemalan in hand, I set out with Andrew and the kids Saturday afternoon to start putting up our decorations!  Fun was had by all and my hot cup of coffee kept me warm and...

Another weekend gone. There wasn't much time for "me time' this weekend, but there is always time for a cup of Melitta Guatemalan- even if I have to take it on the run! I took my boys to floor hockey on Friday evening, bowling Saturday, and then a wedding reception on Saturday night. With homework and a bit of housework today, the weekend has flown by! Has been a fun-filled family time! i will admit that I am happy to put my feet up and enjoy a little quiet time. Just me and my cup of Melitta.
