There are some things in life that just go better together. Have you ever noticed that? Peanut butter and jelly, cheese and crackers, politicians and the mute button. Seriously though, some things are just better in pairs. Want to know my ultimate #BetterTogether scenario? This mama and quiet time. That's right, me and a big old dose of quiet time go hand in hand. I crave it. Heck, I need it to stay sane. So, I steal those quiet moments whenever I can. Early in the morning before the boys or puppies get out of bed, late in the evening after they have laid down to sleep, I love for those quiet moments of regeneration, and I break out all my "mom time" essentials like new Nescafe with Coffee-Mate.

What are all those essentials you ask?


Well, I can't live without music. No matter what kind of mood I am in, there is a song to go with it. I love to listen to music and I love to sing, although you won't catch me doing it in public.

What else? Candles. Candles are so soothing, and it doesn't hurt that they help clear out the odor that four boys, six dogs and two cats can leave behind in a room. My favorite this time of year is a cinnamon apple scent, just perfect with the crisp Fall air.

A good book is also something that goes better with my quiet time. Right now I am rereading the Mockingjay book in preparation for the release of the new movie. Nothing clears your mind like getting lost in a book.

Any dose of "mom time" wouldn't be complete without a good cup of coffee. Never thought I would hear myself say that. See, I have not been a converted coffee lover for very long. In fact, it wasn't until a box containing the all new Nescafe 2 in 1 Coffee with Coffee-Mate showed up at my door that I realized what I have been missing. I had tried coffee long ago and had no cared for it, so I never tried it again.


Since Matt likes coffee, I decided to give the Nescafe with Coffee-Mate a try, and to my surprise, it was quite tasty. In fact, it has become my favorite "quiet time" beverage. It is perfect for sipping, the aroma is comforting, and the warn feeling as it slides down my throat is heaven.

Plus, it couldn't be easier to make. Just place a scoop in your cup of hot water, mix and you're all set. No extra sweeteners, creamers, spices or spoons needed. New Nescafe with Coffee-Mate 2-in-1 coffee comes in three delicious flavors, French Vanilla, Hazelnut, and Sweet and Creamy Original.
