Really, my entire household is pretty hooked on the caffeinated beverage. Well, not quite everyone. Not Tootsie Roll, but give her time. She's only one.
We have had a very cold and rainy week. So when Pirate and I were trying to get warmed up yesterday, we pulled out one of our favorite little coffee makers: Melitta Pour-Over Coffee Brewer.

Oh how we love this little guy! We bought this about 5 years ago and makes a delicious cup of coffee. We think it's even better than the drip-coffee some days. I was running low on coffee the other day, so I made sure to use the Melitta to better "budget" my coffee to save some for later. Because Mama needs her coffee.
I'll say it again, Mama needs her coffee.
Pirate's Coffee Tutorial.
I love how excited she was to make this video for y'all, I hope you enjoyed it.
Yes, my child attempted to slurp up the creamer she spilled! She is six, and this is real life. I've said it before, I'll say it again, nothing that you find on this blog will ever be about perfection!
Tell me, what's your favorite way to drink coffee? Not a coffee drinker, what do you enjoy? As always, feel free to leave a comment and find us FB & Twitter.

I had just gotten off the phone with my brother when I hear Pirate coming up the stairs, "arrrrgh!!!"
She had gotten thirsty and had seen me on the phone. So she went down to the kitchen, got her cup, poured her milk, put it back WITH the lid on, and closed the fridge door. All with minimal spilling. I WAS SO PROUD! I told her so thoroughly! I bragged to her daddy. I bragged to her. I bragged to myself.
About a half hour later, I'm laying down chatting with Mr. Incredible and I hear this puddle-y, splashing sound in the living room. I bolt out of our room and to my jaw-dropping surprise, I see a puddle of milk on the floor. I see her cup, a water bottle, and a few little lids and plastic tea cups. ALL. CONTAINING. MILK.
Then.... I see the gallon of milk that we opened this morning. No cap, half empty. And where is my child? Pouring and drinking her milk like a little waitress. "Husband!!! I'm going to need help," I call.
She sees my shock and squeaks out, "I'm sorry!"
I forgave her, and after we had put some towels down I called her over to myself.
As I held onto her, our little chat went something like this:
"Come here, baby. It's OK. I love you very much.I'm very proud of how big you are, and how you can get your milk all by yourself.
But with great milk power comes great milk responsibility.
Do you know what responsibility means?"
Pirate: "I don't know."
"It means that when we're big enough to be in charge of the milk, then we have to be very careful with it. We have to make sure that it stays safe, and that we don't waste it.
So we're going to have some very special milk rules. Are you ready to hear them?
(yes)
1. If you want some milk, you have to ask Mommy or Daddy first.
2. You can only pour your milk into the cup that we say is OK.
3. We can't waste the milk. There are little kids somewhere that don't have milk to drink.
Can we remember these?"
Pirate: "Yes."
OK.
Can you say, "I will drink milk responsibly."?
Pirate: I will drink milk re-pom-sim-bly.
*hug*I love her receptive little heart tonight. She is just such a little treasure. There will be no crying over spilled milk tonight.
Let me tell you... my husband has never been so proud of my mad parenting skills. He was listening from upstairs and smiling through the entire little lecture.
Can anyone tell me who I quoted? I did, of course, add the word milk where it was necessary. How great is it that kids don't come pre-programmed to know when you're ripping off great lines rather than being completely awesome on your own.
