My day doesn’t begin without a cup of coffee.

I usually sneak downstairs, trying not to wake my 4 sons and my husband around 6AM every morning. I have my little routine down. I start my laptop up. I turn on the news. And then I brew my cup of coffee.

My coffee starts my day off right. It’s the perfect day-starter.

Since I have a Keurig, I love to brew a delicious single-cup of Green Mountain Coffee in the morning. There’s something about the taste that just gets me going, it’s delish. But there’s more to than just their deliciousness for me — they are a company that embraces socially responsible practices to source and bring great-tasting coffee to your table.

I love that about them.

But there’s something very special about that first morning cup of coffee, it just gets my day off on the right foot. Being a work at home mom and someone who is constantly working and busy and moving, it’s important to have the morning time to sit and reflect and relax and pamper myself as best as I can. I do that with a cup of .

It centers me before the lunches need to be made.
It calms me before the alarm goes off for school to start.
It gets me ready to attack my to-do list.

It is the start of my day. The fuel to my personal little engine.

There’s also something very cool about a brand that has a story. A brand that has a meaning. A brand that wants to do more good in the world. A brand that is brewing a better world, quite literally. It makes me proud to brew Green Mountain Coffee in the morning.

We believe in using the power of business to make the world a better place. Each step on the long road from tree to cup gives us an opportunity to create better coffee, and a better world. From carefully sourcing and roasting the highest quality beans, to empowering employees and protecting the environment, we focus on what’s important. Our goal is to create truly inspired coffee that’s environmentally sound, socially just, and undeniably delicious.

I think it’s beyond commendable that in this day in age, is continuously working to make the world a better place. They protect the environment. They are building demand for sustainable products. They are partnering with supply-chain communities. And they support local communities.

It makes me proud to pick up that cup of coffee in the morning.

It’s more than delicious. It’s inspirational to start off a FABULOUS DAY!
