What’s Your Mug Personality? A #Shot4Shot Morning Get Together

  • Facebook

  • Yummly

This morning, some of my friends came over for coffee and homemade cinnamon rolls. I thought it would be fun to have a coffee gathering this week to tie in to the #Shot4Shot campaign Tracey and I are participating in for Shot@Life. Have you taken a shot of your mug yet to help raise awareness for Global Immunization Week and to be included in the giveaways for some great prizes? If not, head on over to this post for more details to see how you can get involved. It’s as simple as helping to spread the word!

I asked each friend to bring their own coffee mugs to breakfast this morning. I thought I’d do a little bit of analyzing to see what kind of insight I could gain about my friends simply by checking out the coffee mugs they chose to bring. Let’s start off with Bree…

Bree went with a classic, monogrammed, Anthropologie mug. If you are familiar with Bree and her blog,  you know she is quite the hostess, offering up her home and food to friends, neighbors and family. It didn’t surprise me at all when Bree mentioned that she often gives out of town guests an Anhropologie mug with their own initial on it when they come to visit!

Kara is the mom of twin 5 year old girls, works a busy job and is always on the go. It is only natural that her mug of choice is a practical travel tumbler… sturdy and indestructible with a fun pop of color!

Speaking of busy moms, how about my friend Jennifer’s big mug for her coffee? Jen has triplet 1st graders and a spunky 5 year old daughter Leah looks up to. In addition to that, Jennifer owns her own photography business. Jennifer is one busy mom, which explains why she needs a big mug of coffee to keep her fueled!

We all got a good chuckle out of DeAnn’s mug, but even more so when she told us the story behind it. DeAnn coordinated our church Vacation Bible School last summer for hundreds of small children. A mutual friend of ours gave DeAnn this mug on the final day. If you have ever volunteered for vacation bible school, let alone coordinated it, I’m sure you can nod your head and relate to the saying on her mug!

Sandy is one of the most fun and vivacious friends I have. Her mug, a gift from her husband, was spot on!

Courtney had a very colorful, fun mug, which fits her perfectly. Courtney is a very talented, fitness minded mom with many layers to her personality, just like the cup she chose to bring!

Kelly is new to our block but seems to be fitting in just fine! I haven’t seen Kelly out riding any Harley’s lately, but since her last name is Harley, the mug she chose describes her quite well!

My friend, Tracie, forgot the mug she chose to bring on her kitchen counter at home, so she borrowed one of mine. What does this tell me about Tracie? Well, that’s she’s human, just like the rest of us! I always admire how Tracie seems to “do it all” but I’m guessing her mornings are similar to mine where just getting the kids dressed, fed and off to school feels like a major accomplishment. We can all relate to that, right?

That’s it for my #Shot4Shot mug party wrap up! I hope you’ll share your #ShotOfCoffee and #MyMugShot picture with me… pick your favorite and tell me why you like it so much!

    Ok, I seriously LOVE this idea. By the way, I have the same mug as Bree…pink with a brown “a”. In fact I love them so much that everyone in my family has them. I was planning on buying a “g” for guests (to keep here) but I think it’s so fun that she gives one to her guests with their own initial to keep.

    None of you can beat my mug. It’s a clay mug lined with ceramic in inside. It quite a dull color but you get white flowers all over it and says to the most adorable person in the world( Gifted by my hubby)

    I love the first mug! I love yellow, and I love Anthropologie. None of the mugs in my apt. match, and I did that purposely. I have about 25 different mugs. I love picking my mug every morning (or night) to correspond to my mood. 🙂 Thanks for sharing!

    The mugs are amazing and the moms are beautiful. It is nice idea of researching on mugs. My conclusion is beautiful moms using beautiful mugs.

    Love this shotofcoffee post! As you’ve seen my shotofcoffee pics via instagramI vary each day & blessed with great family & friends who give them to me. I can’t pick a favorite, it’s like how can i pick my favorite child ? I love them all! And reminds me when I pick my mug of the day. I’m loved & think of that special person who gave me that favorite mug ( of the day )In return, I pray over my shotofcoffee with a grateful heart for that special person & thankful that God gave us coffee !

Can’t believe we’re doing the college tour thing already with my second baby! 

So question for any of you who sent your kids to out of state schools or went to out of state schools...how did you do it? She wants to get the heck out of Kansas (I’d like to go with her!). We have money saved, she’ll most likely get a scholarship or two, she’s paying and has money saved as well...but even with that out of state tuition is a beast of an amount. So, did you just assume that student loans were going to be part of that life? And is that worth it to give your kids a shot at a new life outside of your home state? I wish I would have left Kansas for university, and have been here since I was born 😩. I want different for her if that’s what she wants but also just don’t have any experience with how people do out of state college! Any tips?

J is for...jam!
.
My friend @wakschmale makes the best strawberry jam...and I completely forgot about a jar she gave me last year until this morning. Which then inspired me to make my favorite buttermilk biscuits. So so good. Are you a jam, honey, just butter or plain biscuit fan? I love biscuits allll the ways, except with gravy. I have super bad memories of biscuits and gravy growing up. 🤢
.
I’m still slowly making my way through the alphabet for @kimklassen_innercircle a-z photo challenge. I’m bound and determined to finish. It may just take me a little longer than I originally anticipated 🤗.

It took me 2 months to get this Crispy Chickpea Pantry Pasta recipe up on the blog. 🤦‍♀️But it’s there now! You can find the link in my Instagram profile.
.
Also, just noticed Instagram took away the like count on posts. I kind of like that...what do you think?

I is for Inspiration!
.
The “long haul” effects of having Covid back in December are really presenting themselves lately. The continuous persistent headaches are taking a toll and the connection between the brain fog and word retrieval function of my brain has been extra challenging. I had no idea a couple months out, the cognitive effects would still be hanging around.
.
With that said, when I get a burst of inspiration I’m grabbing on for dear life. I made our favorite chocolate chip cookies recipe yesterday and felt the desire to update the blog post photos from 2007! We make these cookies all the time, so I’m not sure why it’s taken me so many years to give that poor post some new photos.
.
If you’re interested in the recipe you can find the link currently in my profile. Enjoy!!

H is for...high!

It was so strange being on a plane again. I’m so thankful I have the antibodies because the flights were full, which seemed wrong, but everyone around me did seem to keep their masks on, so that was good.
.
I can’t wait until travel becomes a regular part of life again. I’ve missed it so much!

G is for...oh so grateful!

I flew to South Texas yesterday to visit my parents whom I haven’t seen in 2 years. They live around 17 hours away from us. We typical get to see each other a few times a year but with the pandemic and other health issues it just wasn’t able to happen and I’ve missed them soooo much.

Grateful to have had COVID last month. Although it was not at all fun, it gave me the antibodies to make this trip possible. My dad is having surgery tomorrow so I’m helping with my mom so my dad can recover without having to worry about her.

Kansas is enjoying frigid temperatures and snow. I picked a great week to head south.

F is for...food photography.
.
This time of year especially, food photography (and I guess all photography actually) is a tug of war with time and light. I had planned on making and photographing a delicious pasta recipe, but my grocery delivery ran a couple of hours late because of snowstorm. So, at the eleventh hour I decided to make a cake...that took over an hour to bake and I had about 90 minutes of natural light left...leaving me with about 30 minutes of ok light to work with.
.
Anyway, this wouldn't work for a client shoot because the cake, although delicious, didn't turn out looking so great. But it will work great for today's F photo for the @kimklassen_innercircle A-Z photo project:) Lemon Citrus Yogurt Cake from this weeks @cabotcheese newsletter. So good!

E is for...Excitement!
.
There’s a lot of excitement in Kansas City as our beloved @chiefs head back to the Super Bowl this weekend! #runitback 🏈
.
It’s so strange because winning the super bowl last year was the last “normal” thing that happened before the pandemic hit. We went from a city full of excitement to shutting down and sheltering in place. Maybe when we win and bring the trophy home this year, it’ll be the start of something great. Let’s hope!

Who are you rooting for Sunday? Chiefs, Buccaneers or tacos? 😂
