Seattle’s Best #GreatTaste Twitter and Instagram Contest and A Giveaway (ends 11/4)

This post is Sponsored by Seattle's Best but my opinions are 100% my own! I love my coffee. Anyone who knows me, knows I love my coffee. I have several cups a day too. And when I don't, I'm sad. Well not really sad, but I do miss it. I find myself counting down the minutes until the kids go to bed so I can have a cup of coffee! The reason why I wait until they go to bed is because then I can drink it without any interruption. I like my coffee super hot so when I'm interrupted, it tends to cool off and then I don't enjoy it as much. When it comes to coffee, of course I do have my favorites but I'll try just about any coffee at least once. Seattle's Best is one coffee that I do enjoy but I...
