Morning Coffee: Comfy Sneakers, The Best Ice Cream, and Are Magazines Dead?

April 16, 2022 · In: Saturday Morning Coffee Date

Good Saturday Morning! I am still groggy from our trip to South Carolina this week. If you follow my Stories on Instagram, you saw that we flew out to Greenville to attend a special event with HART tools. Nigel and I, along with a group of other bloggers and influencers, toured their facility, tested out products, and got a first look at the new HART tools coming this spring. (More on all that in an upcoming blog post)

Even though our flights were short, the trip still took a lot out of us. We are rolling into the weekend feeling part-revived and part-exhausted. How is that even a possible combo?? Today and tomorrow will be all about catching up on chores around the house paired with some fun chill-time to reset ourselves back into work mode. I definitely see some dollhouse decorating in my future over the next two days!

How do you get back in the swing of things when you’re thrown off your schedule due to travel or special projects? I’d love to hear what works for you to get back on track to your normal day-to-day routines.

What’s On My Mind This Saturday Morning

I made the mistake of wearing Jordans throughout the whole trip. I love how they look but they are not the grandpa-level comfort I should have chosen. Next time I travel I’ll be taking these super comfy sneaks instead.

We are huge Jeni’s Ice Cream fans, and we just had their new Everything Bagel flavor shipped to our house. It’s so weird, but also pretty delicious. The Brown Butter Almond Brittle has officially surpassed the the Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip as my favorite, though.

Now that our dressing area is complete, I’m realizing I have so much more room to add to my crystal collection. Do you have a favorite crystal or gemstone? What should I buy next?

We only have one room left upstairs that still has the original jail-cell gray paint and that’s the guest room. Not for long though! I’m perusing wallpaper designs, and also moulding options. Soon there won’t be a gray wall in sight!

One Last Thought

Do you still buy magazines? Or has the magazine era come and gone in exchange for the digital world? I’m definitely a magazine chick, and I love to buy one every time I go to a grocery store or Target. There’s just something comforting about snuggling up with a fresh new magazine and flipping through the pages. My favorite magazine is Real Simple, but I love so many others. Weigh in below in the comments…are magazines a dying breed?

    Hi! Thx for sharing pics/vids from your HART visit. It is hard to get back into the swing of things after a trip/vacation. I try to take an extra day off before going back to work so that I can unpack & ease my way into the routine. ➡️ I miss magazines! I wasn’t keeping up with them, so I canceled my Real Simple sub which I also loved. I couldn’t even keep up with the digital version. But, I like to buy one when I fly!

      So glad you enjoyed seeing the BTS from the HART trip! I have a full blog post recap coming soon. And YES, it’s so hard to get back in the swing of things. I always feel equally inspired and exhausted after a media event. And truth be told, I still haven’t unpacked our bag and we got home two days ago…
      And I get it about falling behind on magazines. But I eventually binge them all, and when we have guests over they always seem to grab the magazines from the coffee table and flip through them while I’m making coffee or prepping snacks. Love that you get them when you fly! Perfect for short trips.

Do you have a command center in your house? If you Do you have a command center in your house? If you’ve been planning on adding one, here are three tips for customizing it so it works for you:
1. Add a calendar so the whole family is on the same page about what’s going on that month.
2. Decide what needs to be stored in your command center and add storage based on those needs. Don’t worry about what other people use or keep in their own command center because we all live different lives and need different things.
3. Don’t try to make your family change their habits. If they’re used to dropping keys on the counter, a hook may not work for them. Instead, give them a bowl or tray to drop keys in. And if they’re used to sticking reminders on the fridge, add a bulletin or magnet board so they can put them there. Work *with* your family’s habits, not against them.
See the full project and get more command center setup tips in my newest YouTube video. All the product sources I used here are saved in the description of that video too. 🙌🏼

Can I tell you a secret? I’ve never been a fan o Can I tell you a secret? I’ve never been a fan of doing yard work. The gas was stinky, the tools were loud, and the garage was a mess. But all that changed when I switched to @HARTtoolsUSA battery powered outdoor equipment.
Now I love the ritual of cranking up music in my earbuds, taking all the tools off the wall, and the instant satisfaction of the yard going from a chaotic mess to a well-manicured lot.
No joke, our neighbor who was using a gas powered mower actually apologized for the “noise” after hearing our 40V Supercharge Brushless Mower. 😅
Between the HART 40V Outdoor Power Equipment and the Garage Rail System, summer yard work has never been easier. Find them all online at walmart.com. I also saved all the info to a Story Highlight for you too!

Have you tried museum gel before? One of the most Have you tried museum gel before?
One of the most asked questions has the most simple answer. Museum gel comes in either sticker form like these dots I’m using or in a jar. It keeps things in place without permanently adhering them to a surface. Trays can be removed for washing then put right back in with the same piece of gel.
🛒 I saved my favorite types of museum gel to my Amazon Storefront, but you really can’t go wrong with any brand.

Slim line hangers and arranging from light to dark shades also make your denim stash look just like a store in your closet.
