Coffee Connections

Apparently, back in October 2014, I received an email letting me know that I could redeem my Starbucks rewards at Target, provided that Target store has a Starbucks cafe inside. (How do I remember this? Because this information, my friends, has been sitting in my drafts folder since that time. Yes, this is a draft makeover post.) For some of you, combining Target and Starbucks might be the best thing ever: a partnership like none other, the golden moment of shopping. Being able to sip your favorite latte while you cruise the aisles of the place you drop too much money. Sounds great, right? For me, it's worrisome. While I do like Target for the most part, I am not a fan of the Starbucks product.

Since this is a family blog, I'll keep it clean. (Maybe.) This is Florida . Lots of heat here. Nothing warms me up like hot cocoa . I ate soup for lunch yesterday. It helped a little. At least my heart feels warmer when I look at these guys . And speaking of guys, we can't forget this one . Yep, I feel warmer already.
