Sipping Coffee & Currently Reading

This post has been sponsored by Maxwell House. All thoughts and opinions are my own.


It’s definitely winter time, friends. The weather here in Charleston has been so sporadic but it’s been slowly dropping into those chilly temps. I’ve been spending my weekend mornings with the space heater plugged in, my new Christmas jammies on, and sipping on some delicious Maxwell House coffee while reading in the sunroom. These are some of my favorite moments of the season. Quiet mornings overlooking the pond; soaking in a story; watching the birds and alligators between chapters; and sipping on something warm, delicious, and comforting.

Y’all, this season can be full of so many things: commitments, events, work, projects, functions, stress, sickness, traveling, etc. I want to remind you to practice some slowness when you can. Take full advantage of those moments where you can practice reflection and restoration. Even if it’s only an hour on a Saturday morning, pour yourself a cup of Maxwell House coffee and just be present.

I was making a quick stop to grab some mid-week groceries and ran into one of my favorite local grocery stores: BI-LO. I love being able to go into a grocery store that is welcoming, organized, and has helpful staff. And to me, that’s always BI-LO! I was hunting for some new coffee to get this household through the holiday season and easily found the Maxwell House Smooth Bold Coffee nestled in with all the coffee aromas. I went with the large option (26.7oz!!) because—let’s keep it real—with all the mornings ahead and family/friends stopping by, we always like to have coffee on hand to sip on!


Make sure you swing by a Southeastern Grocer store to save now!

You Are the Girl for the Job: Daring to Believe the God Who Calls You
I started this one strong and have tapered off. Mainly because it’s a read that brings some good conviction and makes me stop and really process what I just read. It’s definitely one of those books to read if you feel you’re in a life rut.

The Unhoneymooners
A quick cute read that made me quirk a smile a lot. It’s flirty and funny and has that romantically comedy-ish vibe but in book form.

Carve The Mark
This was an audiobook I just finished and I really, really enjoyed it. It sucked me in quickly and was the perfect fiction to clean the house to / drive around / go for walks. It’s a quick listen—and I’m sure a quick read, too. I’m about to start the 2nd in the series while traveling. I’ll be reading that one asap!

The Road Back To You: An Enneagram Journey to Self-Discovery
I feel like this is a constant read for me. I find myself reading bits and pieces, and then re-reading them to reflect even more. I’m definitely a strong 8 wing 7 but sometimes a wing 9. It’s just an interesting little journey and I love learning more about it.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: The Illustrated Edition
So I may need to confess I’m not fully re-reading this one yet; I’m more-so looking at all the gorgeous illustrations. Eddie started a tradition where for my birthday, he has been getting me the illustrated copies of the books. We are actually wanting to re-read the series using the illustrated copies. They are just so dang pretty.

I really do love seeing all the Halloween decorati I really do love seeing all the Halloween decorations in our home...it is just is so nice to have a little extra reminder of the seasons passing. 🎃

That being said these bad boy decorations will be taken down before Halloween this year (WAHHH) because we're getting our floors re-done. If you saw my stories a little while back we had another flooding situation in the downstairs closet so that's also meaning we're getting the floors refinished. 🤦‍♀️

So send me some prayers because we have to packup/move three rooms of our house to prepare in the next few weeks!

Soooooooo today's my birthday 🥳 Another year Soooooooo today's my birthday 🥳 

Another year around the sun and another birthday advice post up on the blog ((link in profile). This is seriously one of my favorite posts to write each year. 

On the docket today: a few friends swung by for a hello, doing some work, and going over the my aunt & uncles for dinner. I'm super thankful to be with Eddie this year and have time together with him and the kitties.

Speaking of kitties, I swear Loki exists he is just camera shy so Shadow is in 90% of the photos.

Oliver is over here just living his best life. 🖤

This morning may not have gone as planned but I still managed to make the best of it by getting a walk in downtown and grabbing a cup of coffee from the place @mountain_ed and I had our first date.

Also, anyone else just feeling fall so much this year?!

Is it Tuesday? Yes, yes it is. It's a hazy rainy Is it Tuesday? Yes, yes it is. 

It's a hazy rainy morning in Charleston today and I'm not going to lie I'm hardcore loving it. All that's missing is a cooler temperature and a mountain view...but i"ll take my little browning leaves peek of yellow attempting to show that fall color.

What's on your to-do list today? For me...responding to emails, getting quotes out, doing my part time job, and hunting for a client wardrobe piece WHILE MAYBE getting a table off of facebook marketplace . . . so coffee was in order.
