Happy Mother’s Day – A Keurig Giveaway from Mom Favorites!

Tag your mom-friends on Facebook with a link to this post for 10 points in our Mini Keurig Giveaway! keurig giveaway

Jon asked me if I was excited about Mother’s Day this morning.  My response was a ho-hum, “Should I be?”

Then I felt bad.  I mean, it is a day to celebrate mom’s.  I’m a mom.  I have a mom.  I write a mom-blog.  I should be one happy Mother’s Day celebrating fool.  So, sorry hubs.  Yes, I’m excited.

I’m excited that I get to be the mom of two, soon three, boys.  I’m excited that I get to live so close to my own mom, who I have a great relationship with and am so glad gets to be near my children as I (attempt to) raise them.  And, let’s be honest, I’m a wee bit excited about panning out some of my mom-chores for the day.  😉

I’m also excited that I about my decision to give away one very awesome gift to my readers in honor of Mother’s Day…

****************************************************

Generally, when I’m approached by companies to do a review it goes a little something like this: What do you want me to review? What is the value of the product and is it worth my time to take photos and do a write up?  What’s in it for my readers?  What great thing can I give them?

Except recently, I was contacted by a PR company representing Keurig.  And although they didn’t have a product for me to give away, they did have a product for me to try and review.  And let’s be honest folks, I’m a coffee drinking gal.  So naturally (despite my love of securing my readers great goodies), I said yes.

Enter my new best friend: the Special Edition Keurig K60 Brewing System.  Seriously.  I love. LOVE. LOVE this thing.  Like, how did I ever live without it?

I love that I can get a cup of coffee in a minute.  You know, for those afternoons when you feel yourself slipping into an afternoon nap….  I love that I can get a cup of freshly brewed iced tea in a minute.  You know, for when it’s steamy-hot outside and I have to go wait for the big yellow school bus… And, I love that I can get a cup of hot cocoa at night in one minute.  You know, for those moments when I really could house a giant bag of m&m’s, but a cup of chocolatey goodness will really do the trick…

So yes, I accepted the opportunity to brag about Keurig on my blog.  It’s a great gift.  It’s a great Mother’s Day gift.  It’s a great appliance that you don’t need an excuse to buy.  Just get it.

Ooh, and I really love the little organizer I found at the Container Store for all of my K-cups that I now find myself buying at the grocery store.  So convenient.  Had to share. 😉 (*note: the link is to the only on-line place I could find the one I have, but there are plenty of others similar to mine if you just google it.)

Now, I started to feel bad when contemplating this review.  Am I really going to tell my readers how much I love and use this thing without giving them one of their own? Nah, that just doesn’t seem right.

So Happy Mother’s Day from Mom Favorites.   Enter our giveaway for a Mini Keurig!  Don’t miss the special entry which gets you 10 points: Share this post on Facebook and tag a mom friend (or five)!  Tell them you think they are a GREAT mom and deserve a fab Mother’s Day gift!  Already have a Keurig? Enter anyways, and we’ll send you a collection of K-cups your way instead….

    I know I’m the minority here but Keurigs make me itchy. I mean…all those little cups going in the trash that don’t have to!!! Yes. I know you can buy a reusable filter and brew your regular ground stuff, but doesn’t that defeat the purpose. This is my truth. That, and I’m a whole pot kinda girl. Do I have issues or not???? You are so sweet to give one away to people who aren’t weirdos like me though!! Happy Mothers Day to one of my fave mom friends!

      I had a similar moment when I realized I was throwing out the k-cups. You CAN recycle the foil and the paper insert (which is hard to get to), but it’s a lot of work. As you said, they do have the reusable coffee filters though. I’m still a “pot of coffee” girl myself (in the morning), but I’m kind of loving the ability to easily get a cup in the afternoon too… Plus the iced tea kinda rocks too! 🙂 Have a great Mother’s Day Denise!

        Rogers Family Coffee makes k-cups that are 97% biodegradable.

    I don’t have any kids, but what I really want for Mother’s Day is for my mom to be happy and forget her worries for a day.
