Fall has finally arrived. The temperature is dropping, leaves are changing colors, and the fan favorite Pumpkin Spice Latte is back! Swap out your flip-flops for boots, tank tops for tunics, swimsuits for sweatpants, and enjoy seasonal Starbucks® staples and a fresh batch of Glazed Chai Shortbread Cookies from the comfort of home.

With Christmas less than a week away it’s becoming apparent that I have some serious last minute gift preparation to take care of. Where has the time gone? I still have so much to do! This year I bid farewell to the massive crowds and long lines at the mall in hopes of eliminating the unwanted stress the holidays tend to bring. Instead, I turned to homemade gifts that could be personalized for each individual friend and family member based on the things they enjoy. Since the majority of those closest to me love all-things coffee as much as I do, Salted Caramel Dipped Biscotti nestled in a gift basket of Starbucks® themed goodies made sense. Plus, any reason to dip a cookie in chocolate is a good one to me. Who doesn’t love a decked out cookie to pair with their favorite cup of seasonal coffee? Milk chocolate and salted caramel are always a winning combination!

Last month a special package arrived at my doorstep, one filled with new Starbucks® goodies to satisfy my caffeine cravings just in time for spring and summer. There are only two weeks left of school and my schedule is still packed with end of the year activities. If there were ever a time that I needed my coffee stash to be full it’s now. I thought things would be slowing down but that was wishful thinking. I am hopeful that this summer vacation will stretch out and I will be able to catch up on some much needed sleep before the back to school craziness starts up again. However, I have many adventures planned and I have a feeling that I will still need my usual cup of Starbucks® to get me through the long days of fun. Not that I’m complaining, I practically live with an iced coffee in hand anyways. It’s just a part of life.

Brew The PERFECT Cup Of Coffee At Home With Starbucks®

Everyone has something they are passionate about. It could be a hobby, a job, an interest, a cause, or even something as simple as a good book with a deep message that touched you. Passions come in many shapes and sizes. Mine just happens to come in the form of a good cup of coffee, Starbucks® to be more specific. Starbucks® coffee has been my guilty pleasure and addiction for a solid 6 years. I didn’t really find my love for the brew until I had my daughter and it’s no surprise that it kept me sane during those sleepless nights every new parent experiences. We all have to pay our dues! It’s not that I need the caffeine to function, but truth be told it sure makes each day more enjoyable. The smell and taste of freshly brewed coffee makes my heart melt and puts me into one of those “feel good” kinda moods.

Warm + Fuzzy Back To School Moments With Starbucks Fall Blend
Starbucks & Modern Mom provided me with Starbucks samples and a gift card in order to facilitate this review.
This time of year a good cup of coffee is a must-have staple in my morning routine. With a new school year and my little girl starting Kindergarten I seem to need more energy than I ever did before. Waking up at 5ish every morning is no easy task. But dealing with the lack of sleep isn’t a problem as long as I have my brew to bring me back to life. The new Starbucks Fall Blend has been making the back to school transition much easier for me, especially when it comes to that 45 minute carpool lane I subject myself to!

Spring Has Sprung With Starbucks Spring Blend #Starbucks
Have you sprung into Spring yet? It’s not too late! Spring is the season of new beginnings and transformations. Flowers are blooming, butterflies are hatching, and nature around us is coming to life. I love this time of year because it feels like a fresh start and also a chance to experience something new. This week I tried the seasonal Starbucks Spring Blend for the first time and was delighted by its rich flavor. This blend is remarkably balanced, combining exquisite beans from Latin America and East Africa. It reveals spirited, juicy notes and a medium body. It pairs perfectly with buttery shortbread and early harvest berries. The balance of milk chocolate and sweet orange notes are the perfect complement to any Spring time celebration. Speaking of celebrations Spring also brings about one of my favorite holidays, Easter.

Blissful Holiday Moments With Starbucks Holiday Blend Coffee
Each Christmas I long for the blissful moment in which I can put all of the wrapping paper away, pack the tree neatly with presents, sit back and enjoy the season before it’s over. This year I was able to do it sooner than expected with a warm cup of Starbucks Holiday Blend in hand. If you know anything about me out of the blog realm, I am a serious Starbucks addict. While I love visiting the Starbucks around the corner, most of the time I prefer to brew at home for convenience. Also, the wonderful smell that lingers through my home while brewing a fresh bag of my favorite blend is pure bliss.
