Convenient, Fresh Ground Coffee Can Make Grocery Shopping Better–It’s True!

October 8, 2013 by amushro

 I really love taking two small children to the grocery store to shop for the week. Wait, I have to catch my breath from laughing so hard. The truth is having two kids in tow while food shopping can be enough to make this gal lose her mind, but this week I had a secret weapon thanks to Rubi Kiosk coffee . If the kids can have snacks to entertain and distract them, then Mamma can have Seattle’s Best fresh ground coffee while I browse the aisles of our local grocery store.

I am a firm believer that with coffee in hand, I can accomplish just about anything. However, with a delicious cup of pumpkin spice coffee that didn’t break the bank to buy, well then watch out world!

At first I was a little nervous about getting coffee from a kiosk. I mean come on, I’m used to paying close to five dollars for fancy coffee and waiting ten minutes for it to be made. I just assumed I would have to take the coffee the way the machine decided, but there were tons of choices of flavors as well as several different milk  and sweetener options. So if you are just as picky as me, you can get your personalized your coffee just the way you like it.

Who would have thought that watching delicious coffee being made from a kiosk could be so entertaining?

 

This isn’t a machine full of coffee just sitting and waiting for you to stop by and push a few buttons. Once you make your selection, the coffee beans are ground as soon as you order. And a few minutes later I had hot fresh brewed coffee.

So I took my fresh Seattle’s Best coffee, my coffee cheerleaders, my coupons, and we were off to shop. However, this time the usual cart pushing, rows and rows of sugary cereal, and not being able to find corn starch (seriously where do they put that stuff?) wasn’t so bad. In fact, I would venture to say I actually enjoyed grocery shopping with my kids. I know, shocking right?

Tugaboos

June 14, 2013 by amushro

*Sure, this is a sponsored post, but I am pretty excited to share my newfound love for Rite Aid Tugaboos diapers with you!*

Much like her Mamma, my little lady has a whole lotta junk in her trunk; however, while I try to keep mine covered up, her excess baggage is adorable. Especially in diapers.

So when we were given a chance to try Rite Aid’s Tugaboo diapers, Mimi and I agreed to give it a whirl. Actually, she just liked the cute Tiger on the diaper and made up a little song about T is for Tiger. I assume that meant she agreed to try them out.

Anyone diapering bums knows that using the wrong diaper is bad news. I’ve been stuck with some that cost way too much money, don’t fit right, are uncomfortable against my baby’s skin, or the ultimate no-no, leave you with a big mess. A big poopy mess. It’s always nice when those big messes happen in their carseat, out in public, or my personal fav, the crib. And you know as well as I do, ain’t no one got time for that! So when we tried Rite Aid’s Tugaboos and realized there were little diaper gems, we were thrilled (and not covered in poopy). The diapers have recently been improved for added leakage protection and faster absorption, but that wasn’t the only reason we liked them.

The diapers have a cottony soft feel and soft stretchable waist and side panels. An added bonus was how nicely they fit her under her summer dresses and skirts. The diapers even have a hypoallergenic inner liner to help protect her sensitive skin.  I asked Mimi what she thought, but she just sang “T is for Tiger” over and over. Again, I’m taking this as she likes them.

This may be our first round of Rite Aid Tugaboo diapers, but I can guarantee it won’t be our last!
