Good morning,

Last week Coffee Monday had a little something sweet to go with your coffee.  Today I found a neat idea for making the house smell divine.  The idea came from a link on Pinterest.    This was under a blog post on a site called Chasing Foxes titled 7 Brilliant DIY Scents That Will Make Your Home Smell Amazing. 

A Coffee Vanilla Scent hack.

I wonder what other fragrances could be used?  This makes a nice center piece too.  The other ideas in the article are geared towards the holidays and sound like wonderful ways to naturally add fragrant scents to your home.

Another one I found was a tutorial for Homemade coffee candles on Art Ideas Crafts.com

The instruction seems easy and the result is definitely coffee themed.

I am torn about using coffee beans for something other than my morning cup of coffee. I can definitely say that a fresh brewed pot of coffee makes the house smell wonderful and evokes pleasant memories.  These ideas would be nice way to recreate that lovely feeling.

Good morning!

October is here.  Pumpkins, crisp cool mornings and a steaming cup of hot coffee.  Perfect.  Sometimes a little something sweet would go nicely with that hot cup of coffee. I adore mug cake recipes.  They are quick , single servings of yumminess.  I typically look for low carb, but not today. 😉

I found this Two Minute Coffee Cake in a Mug on Heather Likes Food website.

As I was reading through the post, she mentions a pumpkin version! Of course I had to go check that one out too.  This one I found on a blog titled Somewhat Simple.

The Autumnal Equinox is only three days away.  Here in central Texas we are not greeted with the promise of cooler temperatures and colorful fall leaves.  The changing of the season is heralded with the start of the school year and the return of pumpkin spice everything. 😉
