Folgers Coffee: My Morning Ritual

| Filed Under: Giveaways

Recently, I was asked by Folgers to create a post about my morning coffee ritual to share with you.  Well, like many of you I love a nice hot cup of coffee in the morning to help me get my day started. Lately, I’ve been using my French Press and so far I’m loving the results, mmmm, that’s one tasty cup of coffee!

Is it just me or do you love the smell of coffee beans too? Ahhh, there is just something about opening up my coffee beans, be it whole or ground, that just relaxes me.

On the mornings that I’m not working in the office and I don’t have to rush out the door, I like to enjoy my coffee while I work on my computer.  Yup, that is pretty much my work-from-home morning ritual 🙂

It totally sets the stage for my day…I feel much less frazzled if I can take a few moments in the morning and take even a small bite out of my ever-growing pile of emails and work on a few blog posts before the day gets started and I’m off to helping with homework, playing with the kids, running to a playdate, heading out to bible study, chauffeuring our kids to one of the extra-curricular activities they are signed up for during the day, or even working in my Etsy shop!

The first thing I do when I come down the stairs…well the second (my kids need to get breakfast first!)…is make a nice big cup of coffee, grab my laptop, and turn on one of my favorite Pandora stations so I can start answering emails and working on my blog with some good tunes in the background.  The right music totally helps my state of mind! And now that the weather is so nice, I love to do this out on our screened in porch so I can feel the fresh air while I work too!


Music is also a pretty important part of my morning routine…and day…my kids love to have dance parties with the music blasting so very loud. It helps burn away some of their endless energy and helps to change our state of mind when it seems like they are fighting a lot or a bad mood sets in among one of us.

Did you know that Folgers values music in young people’s lives by supporting musical creativity?  They host an annual Folgers Jingle contest which supports aspiring musicians, you can read more about it here.

      Folgers is our favorite, as well. It sure gives a great start to our day. We have a programmable coffeemaker (just a $15 economy model, but it does the job) and it sure is nice smelling the coffee from downstairs when the alarm goes off at 4:30!

      When I feel the day weighing on me, coffee and definitely some music to get me moving really helps. Thank goodness, no one sees me dancing in my adjusting room between patients 🙂 BTW, Amelia is soooo jealous, she wants a MacBook Pro!
