If you have never heard of eKoffee, I highly recommend you check them out. If you’ve been around my blog for a while, you know that I am a coffee addict. I love coffee in any form – hot, cold, frozen, or in a drip. I love it! I was pretty excited that eKoffee decided to sponsor my blog and couldn’t wait to promote them, but then I tried their coffee and something magical happened. I’m not exaggerating! It is some of the best coffee I have ever had – and I’ve tried coffee from many places. eKoffee offers coffee from all over the world and provides them at an affordable price. I give my coffee 5 stars for sure! I can’t get enough and will definitely be ordering from them again in the future. If you’re interested in the roast I received, you can read about it here.
eKoffee is your online marketplace for fresh roasted coffee; drop shipped directly from small and mid-sized roasters all over the country to our customers’ doorstep.  We carefully select and partner with only the best roasters and help them bring their local premium product of fresh roasted coffee to the national market.  If you love coffee but have never experienced fresh roasted coffee before, we urge you browse eKoffee.com and try some of our amazing coffee offerings that are packed with flavor and freshness.  Many of our customers have not gone back to their “other” coffee of choice after experiencing eKoffee for the first time.  We hope that you will give us a try, see for yourself, and experience an upgrade to your usual coffee drinking routine.
 
eKoffee was founded in February 2012 by 3 people who share a distinct passion for Fresh Roasted cups of greatness. We are continually adding new Fresh Roasted Coffee offerings to the eKoffee Marketplace and constantly strive to provide our loyal customers with a reliable and trusted shopping experience as well as a variety of choices when it comes to Fresh Roasted Coffee.

Hello my lovelies!! First off I want to say welcome to all of my new followers! Thank you so much for taking the time to read my rambles! 





Last weekend, our friends from Huntsville (north Alabama) came to town and we hung out with them, Shane and his wife Paige. Shane was diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma over the summer and has since gone through several surgeries, radiation and chemotherapy. He completed his last chemo treatment Wednesday! YAY SHANE! It was so much fun hanging out with our old college crew. I love them and miss them terribly. Unfortunately I did not get any pics of us (bad blogger right here). 





Remember in this post when I wrote that I need to catch up on some history? This week, Ryan and I started taking a FREE online history class through Coursera. If you ever want to take a class but don’t want to spend any money and don’t care about credit, you should definitely check them out! While I was perusing their site, I also signed up for a couple of health and nutrition classes as well as social psych to brush up on my psychology. So apparently I’ve decided to go back to school…ha! It’s funny that the whole time I was in college all I wanted was to graduate, and now I miss it so much (nerd alert).





Yesterday, my crazy dog decided to play with a hanger and ended up getting it all twisted up in her collar. She started whining and freaking out, so obviously I was in the floor laughing and taking tons of pics…



Today, I’m going to be organizing, cleaning and catching up on my favorite blogs! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Andi’s Giveaway

I received my Datevitation custom love coupon book just in time for Christmas and I put it in Ryan’s stocking. He loved it. I customized it by choosing dates that I know he enjoys like hiking, going to the theater, a dinner date to our favorite Mexican restaurant, etc. Needless to say, it was his favorite stocking stuffer. I especially loved how you could customize the cover and text, as well as pick out the specific dates. That made it really fun and special.
A little about Datevitation:

  • Datevitation.com is the web’s first online platform to create a custom love coupon book. Unlike the pre-packaged love coupon books on the market, you pick the dates and can customize the text to your liking.  Once you are done customizing the text in your book, Datevitation will print it out and ship it to you in a ready-to-gift box.  
  • Their library contains over 200 date ideas ranging from skydiving to stargazing. They also have over 60 book cover options to suit any occasion.
  • Books normally start at just $20 so it makes for a thoughtful yet economical gift. But as a special treat for my followers, you can use the code ‘sunflowers’ for $10 off your purchase in January. That means you can get your sweetie a custom love coupon book for Valentine’s day starting at just $10!

Now on to the giveaway…

Datevitation is giving away a free coupon book (with up to 5 custom date pages) to one of my readers! Enter using the rafflecopter below:

Winner will receive a promo code for a free Datevitation gift book with 5 custom pages.  Additional pages are $1 each.  Winner to pay $3.50 for shipping and handling.  Tax will be applied to books shipped to California.  Books ship to U.S. only.
