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!
Apparently, I (Jeni) have been blind to a “viral” trend on Facebook – women asking their boyfriends and husbands what the “R” means on a tampon. And apparently – the answers are HILARIOUS! I hunted some down and OMG you guys – I was laughing SO HARD! Of course, it filled over to Twitter, but you can see some on Facebook HERE! Enjoy this little bit of silly entertainment!
On a similar note, years and years ago, I asked a boyfriend to pick up tampons for me while I was super sick and stuck in bed. He got to the store and called me (this was long before texting was the norm) and asked, “I found some, but which flavor do you want?” 🙂 Luckily, a sweet woman in the same aisle overheard him on the phone and took over for me!
Would your hubby or boyfriend know what the “R” means?
YAY!!!! I (Sarah) am in full Halloween mode already – I mentioned that yesterday and yep, it’s still valid today! 🙂 So I saw the Build-a-Bear Halloween collection and my heart about melted. They are SO STINKING CUTE! I honestly can’t decide which I like more. There are more than pictured above, by the way.
I’m really hoping the new Nightmare Before Christmas collection comes back in stock soon – it went out FAST! I went to purchase, and they were gone 🙁 I guess they didn’t anticipate the super LOVE these would be getting!
Do you or your kids collect Build-a-Bear?
Wanna freshen up your planner – or prepare for next year’s planner? This awesome So. Many. Planner Stickers book is only $11.66, and it has 2,600 stickers inside!

Well, there’s great news (again) for Game of Thrones fans! ANOTHER prequel tv show is coming! It’s set 300 years before the original series and is based on House Targaryen. The original author of the first book will co-write this script, which is based on the actual prequel book, too! It’s going to be about how the Targaryens rose to power in Westeros! YIPPEEEEEE! Read more HERE.
Will you watch any of the GOT prequels?
This toilet seat decal of a cat is cracking me (Jeni) UP! I am not a cat person, but I know a ton of them who would absolutely freak out and love this! It’s perfect for a cat lady 🙂
Would you put a decal on your toilet?
Have you ever dreamed of a job that pays you to drink coffee? Company Business.org is looking for someone to hit up coffee chains locally! The job is for a full month and you’ll document your experience. Plus, they’ll pay you $1,000 just to drink coffee from locally owned coffee shops. SCORE! Apply HERE through 9/30 😛
Are you a chain coffee drinker (Starbucks, Dunkin, etc.) or more of a local lover?
This is SO COOL! It might be made for a nursery, but it certainly is relaxing enough for kids and adults, too! It’s a rotating, color-changing projector that makes your walls and ceiling look like the Northern Lights. Plus, it has built-in speakers where you caplet your own music with it. SO COOL!
What do you do to help you sleep?
You know the song and saying, “it’s raining men”… and now it really is! ha! This Bubble Dome Raining Men Umbrella is hilarious and awesome at the same time! It seriously products you against the rain and wind, because of the shape – plus, come on. It’s RAINING MEN!! 🙂
Do you look forward to rainy days?
Quinoa is such a fun word to say, but I (Sarah) admit, I’ve never actually had it. Quinoa… KEEN-WAHHHHHHH. So I found a great deal at my grocery store on some quinoa, and then I found this awesome Pizza Quinoa Casserole recipe. I’m going to try both soon!
How do you cook quinoa?
Don’t forget to join us every Wednesday evening at 4pm EST for Happy Hour!

I will probably watch the GOT prequel. I really enjoyed GOT.
Also, I’ve always liked Build-A-Bear. They always have such cute stuff. And that umbrella makes me giggle.
I’ll probably watch, too!
I actually know what the R means on the Tampon!! Because I used the ones that had the L on them. 🙂
Oh cool! I think we’ll probably check out the GoT prequel. That projector definitely looks cool.
I’m all about the prequels!
Oh my goodness I want those Nightmare Before Christmas teddies! I wonder if they will bring them out over here as well – I’m going to check it out right now!
Seriously so cute!!!!!
I love cold brew coffee. I need to check out that brewer.
Mmmmmhmmmm! ME TOO!
That R on the tampon is such a mystery to men. I love Game of Thrones so I have to see the prequel. That Umbrella seems perfect and I am always losing them.
Yes, yes, and YES!
That toilet seat is too funny. I really like the Halloween Build a Bears. Especially love the Nightmare Before Christmas collection.
The Halloween Build-a-Bears are PRECIOUS!
I NEED that It’s Raining Men umbrella in my life. Hilarious. Plus it’s one of my favorite go to karaoke songs. *smile*(
BAHHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! Sing it, girl!
I’d love to try the pizza quinoa casserole. I’m trying so hard to fit in healthy alternatives, without it tasting like cardboard or grass. This looks good!
I hear you on the cardboard or grass aspect of eating healthy!
The tampon meme is hilarious!! I love how naive some guys are. I asked my husband and he actually somehow knew the real meaning of R. lol
HAHAHAHA! good hubby!
Hahahaa…I think the R on that product stands for “right” behind the food! Many food bloggers wet them with water, stick them in the microwave until steaming, and then place them behind food items like baked potatoes to give them that hot “fresh-out-of-the-oven” look.
I have heard of that trick!
I LOVE the Halloween Build-A-Bears! They’re soooo fun! I’m also a huge fan of the “Raining Men” umbrella. I feel like I should get one for each of my single daughters.
It’s raining me, HALLELUJAH!!!!
OMG The “R” on a tampon is so funny! Men, it stands for Regular size! That toilet seat decal is hilarious!
HAHAHAHAAHHA! giggles for all of it!
I laughed so hard at the left and right tampon thing! I can’t believe someone would think that.
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHHA! It’s so silly!
I want all those build a bears! especially the nightmare before Christmas ones, so cool!
I’m all about them!
So many great things happening this week! That Halloween Build A Bear is right up my girl’s alley!
Such a fun week!
I totally missed the viral tampon thing too but I just spent the last 10 minutes googling it and laughing hysterically. I also sent the picture to my husband… we’ll see how he responds lol.
HAHAHAHHAHA!!!!! I love it!
Can. Not. Wait. For the GOT prequel. I’m so excited for more on that story. And that tampon story hi-larious!!!!
I’m SUPER excited!
Oh my gosh, those tampon messages are hilarious! I have to go and check out the rest on Facebook. I don’t know if my husband would know what the r means.
HAHAH! You should ask him!
I would love to try the Pizza Quinoa Casserole. It looks like a dish my family would love.
Awesome!
Love the tampon story! What flavor?! The best thing I have read all week. I think my hubby would know what the R meant – he works in pharma so he’s pretty good with these things.
HAHAHAAH!!!!!!
Love Build-a-Bear Halloween, soooo cute! The cold brewing system is also perfect for warm fall days!
I’ve read that post about the tampon, haha! I think it’s really sweet of the boyfriend though, even if he didn’t have a clue on how it all works.
Would love to drink coffee and earn! That would be the dream! Lol. Thanks for the super fun post! And that pizza-quinoa recipe!
