Grab a cup of coffee (or tea), sit back, and chill out for a bit with us this morning! We’re so happy you joined us for our morning coffee! We’ll meet you every weekday morning, right here on the blog, around 9am CST (7am PST, 10am EST) to share a cup of joe with you, talk about what’s on our minds, sneak in some awesome deals we spot, talk about our meal plans for the day, and anything else that comes up! Feel free to chat it up in the comment section, and tell us how you’re feeling, what’s going on with your life, current events, things you’re excited about or bummed out about, and anything else you want to chit-chat about.
Now….refill that coffee and let’s get to chatting with our Morning Coffee!
Did you know that IHOP has an entire line of clothes and accessories? IHOP – as in International House of Pancakes IHOP! Yep – if you’re a pancake fanatic like me (Sarah), you’ll love this! It’s called Pancakewear. And I love all of it! They have hats, jammies, socks, tons of shirts, and even clothes for kids. It actually reminds me a lot of the Taco Bell Merchandise! It’s silly, but it’s also seriously awesome! 🙂
Where do you get your favorite pancakes?
Do you remember Supermarket Sweet? It was popular in the early 90s (although its been around since the 60s), and its was the cheesiest of cheesy game shows- which is saying a LOT! 🙂 But I (Jeni) absolutely loved it! So the contestants become shoppers and run around the fake grocery store to win challenges like getting the most expensive items or guessing product prices.
Leslie Jones will be the new host, so it should be pretty funny! There’s no word on when it will air or how it will change from previous versions of the show. But I am really excited about it!
What are your favorite game shows?
This 10-pack of Metallic Paint Pen Markers is just $6.49! Imagine all of the fun and creativity you can have with these!
It’s so funny that Scrunchies are back in fashion!! This 45-piece Velvet Scrunchies Set is only $9.99… yep. They are still just as cheap as they were 3 decades ago, too! 🙂
OMG. You guys know my (Jeni) love for the 80s, love for Pac-Man, and love for coffee. So tell me this isn’t the PERFECT mug for me!! It’s a Pac-Man mug shaped like a retro arcade game! I absolutely love how unique the shape of it is, and all that detail is so much fun!
What’s your favorite arcade game?
These apple charts are too cool! Have you ever wondered which apples to buy for baking? Or the difference between a Mcintosh and a Gala? Now you know!
What is your favorite type of apple?
How amazing are these Cityscape Rings?! There are over 60 cities listed, but you can add your own city and they will work with you on it! Get them in silver, rose and gold finishes in lots of sizes. Plus, they have a lot of the listed cities from other countries! That makes it even easier to gift them – your hometown, favorite city, or a place you’ve always wanted to go. Even better – they are only about $22 each!
What personal jewelry pieces do you own?
HA! Check out these hilarious big-eyed wineglass markers! You can use these on the edge of the glass or the stem, so you don’t lose your glass or mix it up with others. They come in a pack with 6 different charms in 6 fun and bright colors. I (Jeni) love this idea, because wine charms usually clink all over the bottom of the glass.
Do you use wineglass markers or charms?
This is Zeus, a Great Dane. He is the Guinness World Record-holder for the world’s tallest dog! Sadly, he passed away in 2014, at only 5 years old. HOWEVER, the happy part is that he lives on because of his record breaking height – 7 feet 4 inches. It has yet to be beaten, since 2011. What an amazing animal!
Do you have dogs? What kind?
Waffle Casserole! This might become my (Sarah) new holiday breakfast! It’s so much more than it sounds like and more than meets the eye – and it has bourbon in it, too! 🙂
What’s your favorite thing to cook for breakfast?
Don’t forget to join us every Wednesday evening at 4pm EST for Happy Hour!

Oh my gosh! I want that mug! That is totally going on my Christmas list! That is SO cool!
HAHA! I love how unique it is!
I absolutely love the IHOP apparel and need to get some. I’m a huge pancake fan. I just made keto pancakes for breakfast and they were delicious. The kids saw me eating keto pancakes and ask if we could have eggs and pancakes for dinner, so that’s what we’ll be eating for dinner as well. Pancakes are the best.
Pancakes are AMAZING! Keto pancakes sound awesome!!!!
I remember going to iHop when I was over there years ago – the pancakes were delicious! I want to try more! I can’t believe scrunchies are back – they were probably in fashion when I was last at iHop.
HAHA! omg look how that rounded out!
Seems like everything I grew up on in the 80’s and 90’s is making the rounds again. My daughter has a ton of scrunchies, and just asked for a pair of overalls and a perm! Yikes! I haven’t heard about this new Supermarket Sweep, but will totally tune in. That show was my jam back in the day!
Yah, it’s DEFINITELY made a huge comeback!
I have to get some of the IHop gear for my son. He loves them. I love the sofa meme. The acutarracy with that statement.
IHOP stuff looks like a lot of fun, doesn’t it!?
I admit, I didn’t watch Supermarket Sweep when it was first on. I knew about it. As an adult now, I would SO want to go on the show. My kids eat so much and I feel like I spend SO much at the grocery stores.
HAHAHA! I bet you’ll love it!
Those velvet scrunchies are a steal! 45 pieces for only $9.99! Wow. A different color to use everyday for a month and a half! Oh and that Great Dane! He is monstrous!
HAHAHA! That’s too true and hilarious!
I love that it is apple season. My favorite apple is pink lady.
Pink lady – I actually just bought a few of those today!
I’ll definitely have to tune in for the new Supermarket Sweep. I can’t believe how big Zeus the dog was!
Right!? That was a HUGE dog!
I am so excited about apple season and have seen those apple guides going around facebook. Goodness I had no idea apples could be a hot topic but friends argued over the best and worst apples fiercely LOL.
HAHAHAHA! People on the internet are hilarious!
When I was a kid, my mom and I would watch Supermarket Sweep religiously. I am so happy it will be back on tv! I’d love to be a guest.
HAHA! That’s TOO COOL!
OMG! The cityscape rings are the cutest idea ever and would be the perfect gift for someone who has everything. I’m going to check it out and stock up on a few for last-minute gifts.
YES! I think the same thing and already ordered a few!
Those rings are SUPER CUTE. I love them….great gift idea for girlfriends.
Right? I am totally in love with the rings!
I am a huge pen nerd, so those metallic pens are in my shopping cart now! I so need them!
HAHA! I’m the same way!
I love that Pac Man mug. I need one of those. I do have those scrunchies too. I bought them for my daughters and myself. We love them.
I’m all about the Pac-Man mug, girl! AND the Scrunchies – totally 80s vibe today!
Bring back the scrunchies! Also a great wrist accessory. Gala apples are my favorite.
Hehehe! Wrist accessory… LOL
Supermarket sweep was my favorite! I wonder if she will wear crazy sweaters too.
BAHAHHAHAHA!! Remember that guy that did the infomercials with the sweaters?? LOL
Cityscape Rings! I love this idea. I think it’s great as a gift too! So so cute!
Right!? It’s so unique and clever!
I am obsessed with all the scrunchies now – that is an awesome deal for so many! Great colors too.
HAHAH! It’s so much fun!
Love the apple guide! I definitely have to pin that. I love the sofa bed joke that’s hilarious.
The apple guides are great, aren’t they!?
I think it is hilarious that scrunchies are back in style! Not sure I can go back to scrunchies, but never say never!
I need scrunchies in my life again, love those! Also, they make IHOP gear? Like clothing for IHOP lovers? Those are adorable options, I love the pancakes hat, but honestly, I’ve never been to an IHOP so I would likely be a traitor wearing such hat without ever having been to an IHOP. I miss Supermarket Sweep, that show was AMAZINGLY entertaining when I was younger.
I’ve been meaning to get some scrunchies. This looks like a great time to stock up!
That waffle casserole looks so good. I might have to make that for our upcoming brunch in a few weeks.
Totally- great idea!
Oh my goodness, so many great things here. First, my kids would love the IHOP clothing. Secondly, I loved Supermarket Sweep and making Leslie Jones the host is brilliant. Finally, I must have that Pac-man mug for hubby!
I love your morning coffee posts. 🙂
HAHA! Thanks so much for being here, Star!!
I agree with EVERYTHING you said!
There are a lot of super cute things in this post. I like the idea of the PacMan mug, but I wonder if it makes a mess when you try to drink out of it! Ha ha.
I wondered the same thing! LOL!
I have a set of metallic paint markers and use them on so many craft projects. They come in so handy and are so much more versatile and convenient than using actual paint brushes.
The pacman mug and the cityscape ring, I both love it! A coffee lover and travel lover thing!
Those IHOP pancakewear look so cute! I need to order one of them! My favorite apple is Gala.
