My morning meditations in a mug

Everything is still–the whir and bubble pops coming from the Keurig a counterpoint to the morning bird calls.

I sit at the kitchen table as the sun peeks over the horizon–scrolling through my newsfeeds as I wait for that first cup of coffee.

This is my time.

This is how I ease into a new frenetic day.

After the kids wake up, the clock becomes the master. The minutes are measured and marked. That 45 minutes from the time I get them up to the time I drop them off at school a whirl of activity.

I prefer to return home after the drop off, have another cup of coffee, clean the pool, and then have breakfast…around 10am. They say  that you should eat breakfast within 30 minutes of waking to jump start your metabolism. I know I should but I just don’t like to eat that soon after waking.

I like mugs.

I enjoy wrapping my hands around the warmth and breathing in contentment.  

It was no problem when I was coming right back home after morning drop off. Now that I am in school half of the week, I drop off the kids and head straight into an hour or so of traffic to get to class across town. The class runs for over three hours. I just can’t make it until after noon before eating breakfast.

So there’s this..

Did you know you can #BrewYourBreakfast with Nature Valley Bistro Cups? I found them in the hot ceral aisle at Publix. Grab this coupon.

You simply empty the packet of oats into your mug and “brew” the seasoning k cup in your brewer then let it sit for a minute. It’s just as easy and comforting as a cup of coffee but nutritious as well.

Nature Valley and Publix are going one step further and sponsoring this $10 Paypal Giveaway. From now through 10/9/15, you can enter for your chance to win.
