Coffee It Forward with Seattle's Best Rubi Coffee Kiosk #shop #Rubi2Go

My day starts like most Moms. I have my to do list, my child and there never seems like there are enough hours in the day to get it all done. On my days off from work I try to get as many things done to be productive with my time. What fuels this tired working and blogging Mom is coffee! I would be a mess without it. Normally I start the day with a cup at home with my husband then I grab another cup of coffee from a drive-thru of some sort. I have tried the cheap convenience coffee and the high end coffee that cost way more than it should as well. I do prefer quality fresh ground coffee so I end up spending more money than I want to and time spent in line at a store or drive-thru.

Recently while shopping at Save Mart I noticed a Coffee Kiosk that was brewing Seattle's Best coffee. I pondered for a bit if coffee from a machine would be good. I can recall from my childhood old brown square shaped machines that black thick gross coffee would come out of and I thought this is 2013 I am sure it has improved! Knowing that Seattle's Best coffee is a high end coffee, I decided to try it.

My Fall Favorite, Apple Bread Pudding With Vanilla Ice Cream

Sometimes I think my favorite thing about fall is the desserts. I mean, who can resist all the apple, pumpkin, and other flavors of the season??

Not me, so yesterday while in the kitchen, I made one of my very favorite desserts, Apple Bread Pudding. I love making bread puddings of all kinds, and apple flavor is one of my grandchildren's favorites.

And of course, that vanilla bean ice cream on top of it is a little piece of heaven.

Moments in the Mornings with Coffee-mate Pumpkin Spice Coffee #loveyourcup #shop

The way to know that the Fall is here in California is not the weather or fashion trends it is the arrival of Pumpkin Spice flavored items in the store. Pumpkin Spice Coffee-mate coffee creamer is one of the first items I buy as soon as I see it in the store. There is no better way to start the day in the Fall than with a cup of coffee flavored with Pumpkin Spice.

If you have followed Frugal Family Tree you will have noticed we had a design makeover!

Kim from seven thirty three is AMAZING to work with, not only did she do an awesome job on our site, but she is super nice and so helpful.

Communication is the key to getting it right and Kim is one of the best communicators we have met! Her email replies were almost instant and she was full of great ideas that helped guide our thoughts and inspirations.

Redesigning your site can be stressful and daunting. Not with Kim. Seriously she is awesome.
