CONTEST CLOSED
I might be exaggerating slightly. Ok, a lot. But its good coffee. Read on my friend.
Something I am constantly thinking about is how I can better feed my family.
My goal is to have a 100% organic and natural diet. Right now we are at about 50% and I am in a constant learning process about how to improve upon that... all while on a budget.
Now, I don't feed my kids coffee, but I am nursing, and therefore what I eat, my baby eats.
So you can image how excited I was to find out that Green Mountain Coffee offered Fair Trade and Organic K-Cups Portion Packs. They even offer decaffeinated options!
Yippe! I can drink coffee again!
We were lucky enough to get this beautiful Keurig machine.
I gotta tell ya. Its the perfect compliment to any marriage.
He likes deep rich bold flavors, I prefer light vanilla-y decaffeinated flavors.
And we can both get exactly what we want with little to no effort.
Since I was already doing research on what organic products they offered, I dug a little deeper about what 'Fair Trade' meant.
Here is the dumbed-down version according to i am mommy. Er, me.
When a product is labeled Fair Trade it means that the farms it came from have been certified to provide fair wages and safe working conditions.
I can totally get behind that!
And since Green Mountain Coffee is dedicated to offering Fair Trade products (and were even pioneers as they were one of the first companies to sign on with Fair Trade USA), I think I can easily be dedicated to supporting them through my morning coffee addiction.
Bonus perk! If you visit Green Mountain Coffee's facebook page, you can get free samples and coupons for their quality products.
Support global fairness of product and people through drinking the delicious morning brew that Green Mountain Coffee provides? I'd say that's a win-win situation.
Oh, and just cause I want you to know how I drink my coffee in the morning, here is this little diddy.
Yeah. I'm a feather ruffler.
Ok, ok, there is one more little perk.
YOU could win a Keurig Coffee machine as well as a supply of Green Mountain Coffee K-Cups!
Seriously. A Keurig Coffee Machine AND a supply of coffee cups!

My favorite coffee cup is a small purple ceramic stein I found at Goodwill for a whopping .59!! It's big enough I don't have to stay really close to the coffee pot, not so big my coffee gets cold, purple (my favorite color), AND it's fun.
Posted by: Becky | September 08, 2011 at 08:13 AM
What a great giveaway! I use a thermos mug because it takes me forever to get my coffee down for some reason (crazy busy, forget about it, etc). Keeps it nice and hot! And no chance of it spilling on my kiddo.

My favorite coffee cup is a beautiful yellow cup with tulips on the outside, and a painted tulip on the inside as well!

Posted by: Jessica | September 08, 2011 at 08:18 AM
I've been drinking out of the same coffee mug since I was in high school -- it has a purple iris on it and reads, "All the flowers of tomorrow are in the seeds of today." I got it from the coffee shop I worked at for 8 years -- my FIRST job:)
Posted by: Tara | September 08, 2011 at 08:20 AM
I did have a favorite coffee cup. It was from Barnes & Noble. It was teal & brown patterned. I broke it at work. I have yet to find one I love as much. I'm also trying to find one NOT made in China. ;)

I am a hot chocolate drinker but I do have a favorite mug...nothing special, mustard yellow and BIG!! :)
Posted by: Kristin Smith | September 08, 2011 at 08:26 AM
Yes, I do have a favorite coffee cup. It is a black and white heart cup designed by Jonathan Adler for Starbucks. Unfortunately it is starting to crack, which makes me very sad.

Before that, I used a Spider-Man cup, 'cause I'm a bloody child, lol.

Posted by: TidyMom | September 08, 2011 at 08:40 AM
My favorite coffee cup is one I picked up a couple of years ago at a Starbucks-- it has this really pretty sea life design on it! :) The only problem is it's a little small for the amount of cream I require in my coffee!! :) Oh, and my favorite K-cup is Nantucket Blend!!! It's SO good! I only wish it came in decaf too.
Posted by: Wendy | September 08, 2011 at 08:40 AM
I have a million coffee cups but my fav is this cupcake one I have. Keep calm and eat cupcakes. If I win, I'll make coffee cupcakes to go w it.

My favorite mug keeps getting mailed around to family members who are in need of encouragement. It is a Flavia mug that simply states, "Everything is going to be all right."
Posted by: jo evans | September 08, 2011 at 09:04 AM
Any extra large mug will do. My favorite is the one my daughter painted for me at a paint-your-own pottery place.
Posted by: Dorothy @ Crazy for Crust | September 08, 2011 at 09:05 AM
Yes, it's just a plain white cup, but it fits my hands perfectly. When I hold it with both hands, my fingers fit perfectly in the holder and my fingers touch tip-to-tip. :-D Thanks for the giveaway!

I do have a favorite coffee mug (I collect them).
My favorite though, is an old mug that we got for my grandpa when we went to Niagra Falls (you know...the typical tourist mug!) After he passed away, I inherited it and now I drink out of the same mug that my grandpa once did.
Posted by: Jessica A | September 08, 2011 at 09:09 AM
My favorite mug is a red travel mug from the NC Zoo with different animals cutout of the paper within the mug - filled with tea of course! (which the Keurig also makes!)

My favorite coffee cup is yellow with a black smiley face on it.
Posted by: christy | September 08, 2011 at 09:09 AM
My favorite coffee cup is my husband's coffee cup! It is a bit bigger than an average cup so I get away with having a bit more to drink than one cup without the guilt of having two cups. But I only get away with it when he is out of town.
Posted by: RockGal | September 08, 2011 at 09:10 AM

I have a favorite mug at work. It's green and white and tall so I can use the biggest button on the machine. Thanks for the giveaway...hope I win :)

My favorite cup is one that says "Sister" on it, that my sister got for me. Not only do I love thinking about her in when I use it and how much I miss her, but also that it holds a half a cup more than a regular coffee cup....just makes things easier in the morning, since I am not a morning person and my children happen to be!

My favorite coffee mug is actually one from my father's time when he served in the Navy. It has the Naval anchor, along with his stripes, his rank, and most importantly, his last name. My father was my hero and my best friend, but unfortunately lost the battle to lymphoma well over 6½ years ago. He's always remembered!
Posted by: Starzskymoon.wordpress.com | September 08, 2011 at 09:45 AM
I just love my White Castle burger joint coffee mug. It's one of those old-fashioned short and thick mugs which I locve because the thick stoneware keeps the beverages hot so much longer.

Posted by: Doug | September 08, 2011 at 10:12 AM
My favorite is a Contigo travel mug. I love it because it seals on the top so if any one of my kids bumps into me in the mornings, (which is a very common occurance!) then it doesn't splish splash adn spill all over me!
