I am by far, NOT a monring person. I hate rolling out of bed early. Unfortunately, Joshua’s bus comes at 6:45 in the morning. THAT is too early for me! It’s dark, I’m not functioning yet, and some mornings it can be cold! YUCK. But what can you do right? Other than to suck it up!

Coffee is a MUST for my morning routine. And Coffee-Mate creamer is the first thing I grab to add to it! The other day at Target I was getting my favorite coffee creamer and I noticed these cool new bottles. Turns out they were designed by David Broomstad! Awesome right!? I immediately put the French Vanilla in my cart.

Flash forward to the next morning and as I was making my coffee I had a brilliant idea. Yes. An idea. That was brilliant. At 6 in the morning! Who knew right?

Add some Coffee-Mate French Vanilla Coffee Creamer to our pancake mix! So I ran to the cabinet and pulled out a box of pancake mix and whipped up a batch adding a tad of creamer to the mix. Josh was surprised we were having pancakes on a Tuesday morning before school. Pancakes are usually only a Saturday morning treat at our house!

You guys! These were really good! The coffee creamer gives just enough flavoring! I actually can’t wait to try it with other flavors too! Coffee-Mate really made a splash in my day!
