It's a Brewtiful Day!

Oh It's a Brewtiful Day, I'm looking for something dumb to do...  Oh coffee, I think I wanna marry you... I've changed a few of the lyrics, but you get my drift~

This is just incase you thought I had a falling out with one of my favourite things. Coffee. Nope, never, nada- our admiration of one another will survive anything.

For all of my caffeine addicted friends - this one's for you. Let's have coffee!

Shhh... I'm Introverting.

I'm Home! Back to business in my own way. I had an awesome time on the other side of my beautiful Country. I never quite understood the weather difference between one side of Canada and the other, it is so different. I loved the green, the lushness, the tepid temperature... and I even enjoyed the rain. It was beautiful. No wonder they call it Beautiful British Columbia.

Now I'm home and getting back into the swing of things, back to my favourite chair, back to my office, back to my list of things to do, and back to introverting. I got to spend an entire week working with a friend on a really big project, and life, and living, etc. It was awesome, and today back in my own little world... I hibernate.

It's going to be awesome.

Veni, Vidi, Vici, that VENTI!

Thank you Starbucks for selling BUCKETS of coffee and giving them clever names. Because honestly, when I order an extra-extra-extra large coffee, it makes me sound like a little piggy- But when I order a "Venti"- Oh no, I am a sophisticated, caffeine deficient professional late for what will most likely be a very boring meeting!

Happy Wednesday Day!

The Mug Life.

I didn't choose the Mug Life, the Mug Life chose me. It's funny, because I am trying to think when I started to drink coffee... like really drink coffee. Black, no cream, no sugar, just the sweet darkness of the mojo juice.  I think it all started with a beautiful couple named Ken and Irma... they were the catalyst to a lot of amazing stuff for the Hubby and I.

So this one is for all of the beautiful people in your life, who encourage you, point you in the right direction, help you along the way, and teach you to drink your coffee black. Because any coffee is drinkable if you add enough cream and sugar :)   But it takes good coffee to drink it black-

How do you take your coffee?

Hopelessly Devoted.

Remember when Sandy sang this song in the movie Grease? Hopelessly devoted to you...

Well some mornings, more than others, I feel hopelessly devoted to my cup of coffee, in my favourite mug, in my favourite chair, doing my favourite thing- quietly listening to the world go by, hearing the clocks tick, drawing (this morning colouring my Grown-Up Colouring Sheets)... especially on a chilly Friday morning. I usually start my day the same way, every day. If for some reason my routine gets messed up, I need to be somewhere early, I have extra work to do, etc. My day usually ends up being a gong show. So as I get older, I'm learning to be wiser... I get up a little earlier so I can enjoy those precious morning moments... It does my soul good.

I hope your Friday started in your favourite way and ends in your favourite way today :)

I like you a latte.

I'm in the middle of drinking my coffee, and I'm so excited that Starbucks (I know, not the best coffee in the world, but not the worst either... trust me, I've had a lot of coffee... in a lot of different places...) will be adding Coconut Milk to their line up of non-dairy milk substitutes, which means I'll be able to have a latte - which means I'm extra excited. Which means this happened.

And to think, just in time for Valentine's Day.
Oh, I do like you a Latte!
From me to you!

Coffee is Better with a Friend.

It's true, coffee is always better with a friend, and at this moment, I would have to say "Coffee is better with a friend -in Prague." Sometimes that will read, "in Calgary, in Brossard, in Whitby, in Berwick, in Halifax, at home"... but this week, it's in Prague.

I am thoroughly enjoying this city, how beautiful. I can't believe people get to live here all the time :) And it's like a Christmas fairytale. It is unbelievable how beautiful it is! You can see pictures on my Instagram/Lostbumblebee with the hashtag #lostbumblebeeontheloose

If it snows bit fat flakes -I think it might just be perfection.

30 PRINTS! Oh No She didn't! Oh Yes She Did! Coffee Love Calendar!

Are you addicted to or know someone addicted to coffee? Might they need a calendar totally dedicated to their love of coffee? I know a few people this would make an awesome gift for, me being one of them! Take a peek at these 30 AWESOME Caffeine driven prints : 

Cover 

2015 is all about Living Life On Purpose. Making choices that Matter.

This year my husband and I have started to live our life on purpose, instead of just living whatever comes our way- in 2015 we will be going to Africa on a Mission Trip to work in an Orphanage in Uganda. We are so excited to share this journey with you- You can read more about my Heart on my blog: check the link Africa to read my blog post "It's Time For AFRICA!"

I've compiled a group of prints that are all related to coffee and my/your addiction to it :) This is for you to create your very own calendar from your favourite printer. There are only 12 months in a year and 30 Prints. You can customize and mix and match to create specific calendars that will speak to different people in your life!
These 30 Prints are sized to order custom calendars (from your favourite printer) this year; as many as you want! (order one for yourself, order one for a friend (who is also addicted to the coffee, etc.)


Some of these will look familiar, other's you may not have seen :) I've edited and made them all ready to print horizontally :) 

My hope is that every day when you look at your Coffee Love Calendar during the year 2015 you will think about our journey and send positive vibes out into the universe and support us along our way!

Home is...

Home is where the heart is,
where the art is,
where the good coffee is,
where the Dog is,
and Home is where I want to be.

I'm so happy to be home, now if I could just shake this jet lagged feeling of wheezy breath, heavy ocean waves running through my body and the desire to do nothing more than go to bed. Ah- but you know what- tomorrow it will be less, and the day after that- and then gone, and life will be back to normal. My Favourite.

What is your favourite thing about home?
