BUT FIRST…COFFEE!

I’m a coffee lover, pure and simple…

Part of my morning ritual is waking up with a cup of black coffee, first thing.  This lightweight and flowy Katydid Collection tank echoes that sentiment!  Coffee time is my 10 minutes of “me” time to gather my thoughts before the morning school routine begins.  In our house, “Coffee Before Talkie” is definitely the case!  (To get this tank, or to explore Katydid Collection, head over to katydidcollection.com and use the code “katydidlove” to get 20% off your order, AND free shipping…)

When I’m out and about, I most certainly have my go-to spots for a great cup of joe!

If I’m at NorthPark Center, Greenhouse Market is a favorite place to take a coffee break or grab a cup of delicious Blue Bottle Coffee to take along with me.  It’s a modern farm to table restaurant, featuring locally sourced proteins and produce for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  Its kind of hard to believe you are in a shopping mall when you are there…but then again, NorthPark is not your typical mall!  GHM fits right in, with its mix of contemporary art and unique menu.
