Mug Swap '14

Every morning, I like to drink a cuppa joe with a little bit of half and half. I love mugs and have started collecting Starbucks mugs and china tea cups. So when sign ups were posted for the 2014 Mug Swap, I decided to jump on the bandwagon and particpate in the swap. In my form, I wrote that I preffered coffee over tea and LOVE all things chocolate.


On August 18, I received a package, but did not look too closely at it. Since it was my daughter's birthday, I assumed it was for her. During nap time, I was getting her cards and gifts ready, so she could open them later that night. Lo and behold, I realized the package was for ME!

Maggie at Smashed Peas and Carrots drew my name. She sent chocolate flavored Dunkin' Donuts coffee and a chocolate bar-both of which are LONG gone. I ate the almonds and sea salt chocolate bar the day it arrived during my daughter's nap. The chocolate coffee lasted about two weeks; it was delicious with half and half, the tiniest bit of peppermint extract, with whipped cream on top.

What's your favorite hot beverage? 

How do you like your coffee or tea?
