Our bathroom and kitchen are currently under construction and I cannot wait for them to be done. The bathroom is already usable, but still needs to be painted and the kitchen, well, it still has some way to go. We are living out of basically our living room and our bedroom and its hard. Hopefully it will be completed within the next two weeks. I am so excited to decorate!

I would tell you that I am a now not only a soccer mom, but a hockey mom too. The little man started both a new season of soccer and his first hockey learn to skate lessons. Between sports, wedding planning and trips to Home Depot, we are busy bees.

Speaking of wedding planning, it has kind of stalled. We have our date, we have our place, but we don’t have much else. I’m planning on sharing my wedding planning adventures in more detail. Possibly a wedding planning blog series? We shall see!

I also celebrated by birthday last week. I am officially the big 2-7. I have found that the older I get, the less I feel like going out and partying for my birthday. Instead, we went to sushi dinner at Fushimi and enjoyed a delicious fruit tart from Fortunado Brother’s.

I also had the opportunity to go to America’s Got Talent. I don’t really follow the show, but my mom is a big fan. She got an email on Tuesday night that she can come pick up tickets at 8 PM, so we went. It was a lot of fun to watch all of the performers live. If you watch the show, you might have been able to see the top of my head during the standing ovations because we were on the very top.

Last, but not least, I got a new phone. After being loyal to my iPhones for the last 6 years, I took the plunge and switched to Android. I got the LG G3 and I am so in love with it. Every time I discover a new feature I turn to Tommy and say I love this phone. I’m pretty sure he is sick of hearing about it but, I can totally understand why Android users make fun of the iPhone.

Are you an iPhone or Android user? Did you play any sports as a kid?

The Dark Chocolate takes my morning cup of joe to a whole new level, turning it into a yummy mocha, with a fraction of the calories you would get in a coffee shop mocha. While my almond mocha is delicious, I was missing Chai Tea Lattes in my life. So what else was a girl to do, but brainstorm and find herself an alternative?

Thanks to the Foodbuzz Tastemaker Program and Godiva, I was able to receive two bags of Godiva coffee in their Pumpkin Spice and Caramel Pecan Bark flavors. Both flavors are limited edition for the fall and are inspired by some of their amazing chocolate.If you’ve never tried a Godiva truffle, you haven’t lived.

I’ve been attacking these coffees for about a month now, but I honestly can’t decide which I like better.  What I do like is that no one else in my house enjoys flavored coffee, so theses babies are all mine. No sharing required.

Between being a mommy to a rambunctious toddler who enjoys waking me up before the sun comes up and a law student with readings that keep me up to crazy hours, coffee is my best friend.

I love having a big mug of Pumpkin Spice  with my breakfast in the morning to open my eyes and keep me from falling back asleep with a toddler on the l0ose.

Nap time usually can’t come soon enough, so that I can enjoy some me time with a sweet, Vitalicious treat and some more delicious coffee.

I also bring some with me to school which has helped me beat my pricy Starbucks habit.  Instead of dropping upwards of $4 a day on coffee, I bring my own in my shnazzy pink cup or tumbler, depending on my temperature preference of the day. With extra money in my pocket and delicious coffee in hand, I can get through my sometimes not so exciting classes without falling asleep.

I’m got a big mug of Caramel Pecan Bark with my name on it and a presentation to finish for tonight’s class, so this is where I make my exit.

Have a great Thursday!

What’s your favorite type of coffee? Do you prefer hot or iced?
