Hey everyone, had to grab a snack and coffee refill real quick- convenient and affordable, one of the perks of WFH.
Another little perk of WFH is that I get to use all my mugs!! I love choosing which one to use- picking out a mug is the new picking out an outfit in my morning routine.
The mug I used today is the one I got from the Valentine's Day floral arranging by Sadie Blossoms in the hub. Who else uses their mug from that event?!
I've also featured a few other favorites in these photos: the Central Perk Friends mug, I Donut Care mug, an old school Cincinnati mug from Starbucks in the early 2000s to name a few.
If you also have a mug obsession, look at the crazy ones I linked below. I've got mug game, but need to step it up with a few of these babies.
Hope you're finding joy in the little things- love you, mean it.

At Home Movie Night
This is such a cute idea if you are looking for a family friendly activity or romantic date night!
Set the stage by dimming the lights, having tickets and a concession stand- just like the real thing. Have a few movie trailers queued up to watch before screening the movie to recreate the full movie going experience.
I've seen examples where kids complete chores or class work for "money" that they use to buy their movie tickets and concessions.
Another guy surprised his girlfriend by stringing up Christmas lights then making a pillow and blanket viewing lounge.
I love how the movie night set up linked below had movie themed merch and seating rows.
