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!
I (Jeni) love my record player. I’m able to listen to vinyl from the 60s and 80s (my favorites!) with all of those cracks and pops in it…. I just love it! Anyway, this Facebook Page, DeskX Art, posted a compilation of a trend currently going on. It’s people melding themselves into vinyl covers! LOVE IT! It’s so genuinely unique and different, and oh man, these people are so creative!
If you check out the post, be sure to scroll the comments, too – because people are commenting with their attempt at doing the same thing!
What fun trends have you been following lately?
I (Sarah) am all about fun, family-friendly Disney movies and TV shows. But I also love the popular stuff like home renovations and true crime! This new show, Murder House Flip, sounds like it’s going to be AMAZING! The show will start with forensic specialists, who explain what happened in the home. Spiritual healers will come in and cleanse the house, and then high-end renovation expert will come in a completely redo the house to make it somewhere people can live again.
The bummer – it’s only available on Quibi (a mobile-only streaming service), and won’t be on until April 2020, when the service launches (yes, another streaming service). Still, it sounds pretty fun!

Have you heard of any fun new shows? Tell us about them!
Unicorn tube socks. Need we say more? …. oh, one more thing, they are just $9.99!
It’s still pretty warm outside, but we couldn’t help it – these Holiday Sweatshirts are too CUTE! They are $19.99 + shipping, and there are 4 super cute sayings to get, plus 5 colors in small – XL.
Check out these awesome new spices from McCormick! They are Sugar and Spice Blends – which is super exciting for those of us that love to bake!! These should make for some really yummy holiday treats, too!
- Birthday Cake Sugar and Spice Blend
- Blueberry Vanilla Sugar and Spice Blend
- Apple Cinnamon Sugar and Spice Blend
- Vanilla Cinnamon Sugar and Spice Blend
- Lemon Ginger Sugar and Spice Blend
What’s your favorite holiday treat to bake?
HARRY POTTER FOREVER! 🙂 I (Jeni) am a huge fan, and would LOVE this Harry Potter wallpaper in my home! It’s super expensive, but that doesn’t make me love it any less 🙂 There’s even a Marauder’s Map wallpaper! Check out the MinaLima website to see all of the designs!
What home renovations would you like for your house?
This cool Wizard of Oz Airbnb is only $35 a night! It’s called, “Dorothy’s Cottage,” and it’s in West Jefferson, North Carolina. It’s not a family place- meant for only 2 people. It’s a studio cottage with a sofa bed, breakfast nook, porch, and tons of Wizard of Oz details everywhere! It’s totally worth checking out!
What’s the coolest Airbnb you’ve stayed in?
If you’re anything like Jeni and I (Sarah), you love the ’80s and ’90s. And this is the first time I’ve ever seen a quiz game that includes BOTH awesome decades! It’s the ’80s ’90s Trivia Game and I need it! It’ great to have a game that isn’t focused on only one great decade, isn’t it?
What’s your favorite party game?
EEEEEK! It’s a pumpkin spice cake that I (Jeni) saw on Instagram and HAD to share with you all! It even has real pumpkin spice donuts on it and a cute little starbucks cup! I love this so much and just can’t stop staring at it! 🙂
What pumpkin spice items are you enjoying this season?
I (Sarah) really wish cooler weather would hurry up and get here. It just seems more appropriate to make this Sloppy Joe Pasta when it’s cold outside, doesn’t it? Anyway, it’s a SUPER easy and absolutely delicious recipe that I’ve made several times, and actually prefer it over classic sloppy joe sandwiches!
What are you making for dinner tonight?
Don’t forget to join us every Wednesday evening at 4pm EST for Happy Hour!

I haven’t seen the new spices yet. I need to grab a few of those. I love the vinyl blending! A lot of them are really, really good.
I haven’t seen them yet, either, but I’m looking!
Oooh…My hubby was just sayin’ that he wants me to make Sloppy Joe’s but after seeing the SJ pasta casserole, I would rather make that instead! Cute post!
Murder House Flip? I think I need to watch that.
That pumpkin spice cake is amazing. I love my pumpkin spice, so it’s perfect.
That cake is amazing! I have yet to see the new spices. Those socks are awesome!
I always love reading these posts they are full of so much info. Also, that jogging meme hit home. I have a 5k on Sunday and today I did the finally training push with my trainer and it was tough work based on the trial and going further than expected. I have to show him the meme for sure.
OMG I hope you rocked that 5K!!! GOOD LUCK!
Why haven’t I found those spices yet?! They all sound so delicious.
Murder House Flip sounds like something I would totally dig! I zeroed in on that blueberry vanilla flavor from McCormick and now I gotta have it! Would probably be great on some sugar cookies.
Sign me up for unicorn tube socks and MurderHouse Flip! And that cake looks amazing!
HAHA! How about the watching the show while eating the cake and wearing the socks!?
Some of the vinyl cover pics are amazing! They blended in perfectly. I want that trivia game. I think I would do well with the 80s and 90s.
HAHA! I LOVE the vinyl pics!
Unicorn tube socks!!! How cute are these! My niece will go crazy over them for sure!
I need the unicorn socks and the birthday cake seasoning, I really want to try those seasonings
I really want to, too!
These are really great finds! Would love one of those holiday sweatshirts!
HEHEE!
I love watching HGTV and crime shows. The murder house flip show sounds like something that would catch my interest. I have poor internet connection at home that makes streaming difficult. I’m looking at faster internet but don’t know how reliable it is since it is satellite.
It does sound pretty interesting!
The concept of Murder House Flip is so unique. I’d love o watch that however it may not be available for viewing in our country.
Agreed!
There is just something about the sound of a record playing that makes my heart sing.
SAME!
I can’t stop staring at that pumpkin spice cake too. Can I order one, please? 🙂 I can just imagine how delicious that is. Nom!
HAHA! OMG SERIOUSLY!
I want to try the Lemon Ginger Sugar and Spice Blend seasoning.
I’ve seen those pictures all over facebook, it’s so creative and amusing how they were able to incorporate the vinyl albums over simple pictures! Definitely excited to shop for those sugar and spice blends as well.
Oh my god! The Freddie Mercury blend is PERFECTION and George Michael too. What a fun trend!
