Daily Thanks Day 6

Today I am thankful for election day.

Not only am I thankful we have the ability to make our voices heard but also because campaigning is over.  We have relied too much on making the opponent look bad instead of making ourselves look good.  I am also thankful I don’t have to read my friends negative comments about candidates on Facebook anymore.

That all being said, I am also thankful that we all have the right to say how we feel about our government without fear of persecution.

Daily Thanks Day 5

Today I am thankful for cuddle time, all 45 seconds of it.

My son is a very active two-year old boy.  He typically doesn’t sit down very long.  So when I get a chance to hold him I take it!

Daily Thanks Day 4

Today I am thankful for toaster waffles.

Toddlers, infants and dogs do not understand the concept of adding an hour to our day and sleep.  So everyone started to wake up at 6:30 on a Sunday!  I have not gone to the store yet, and didn’t have the ingredients for pancakes.  Luckily in our freezer were some toaster waffles for our toddler to have for breakfast while I wake up with a cup of coffee.

Daily Thanks Day 3

Today I am thankful for my Keurig Platinum Brewer.

I love my coffee, I always have.  Typically I brew a pot of coffee daily, which my husband and I consume in its entirety.  While pregnant I couldn’t drink coffee on a regular basis, and this pregnancy I really missed it.  I have really been enjoying my coffee since my son was born.

I have been a member of a website called House Party.  It is a company that helps promote products through the public.  They send you items to help you have a party to promote a specific product.  Recently I was picked to host a party to promote the Keurig Platinum Brewer.

They sent me a brewer and a variety of coffee and tea to sample with my guests.  The party was a success and my guests received rebates to purchase their own brewers.

I have since set up my brewer in my home and use it on a daily basis.  We have packed up our old coffee pot and put it in the attic.  I purchased a My K-Cup which allows me to brew coffee with a reusable system.

Last night my infant had some stomach problems and I didn’t get much sleep.  So this morning I was very thankful for the quick cup of fresh coffee I got from my Keurig brewer in about a minute.

I was in no way asked to write or compensated for this post by either Keurig or House Party.  The opinions are all my own.
