Unwinding at home.

It's pretty rare that our house is quiet. It's even more rare that I have alone time and when I do, it's usually paired with blankets, cozy clothes and coffee. I savor the moments when I can catch up on emails and articles. Those moments of solace make me feel refreshed and perhaps, a better mom and wife.

My go-to? Starbucks® Mocha K-Cup® Packs. It's my favorite aroma. I swear it's better than any candle you can find out there.

But I do light candles because I love to create a cozy atmosphere. I'm about as cliche as it gets. Know what else goes well with Starbucks® Mocha K-Cup® Packs? Chocolate. 

Thank god my children are young enough for me to steal their Halloween candy. #truth

This is my favorite cozy nook. This distressed club chair was passed on from my parents and it's incredibly comfortable. It's like a big hug.

All iPad reading must be accompanied by a heather, gray oversized sweatshirt, fuzzy socks and a soft throw blanket. And without a doubt, 30 minutes in someone will be climbing on my lap to cuddle and request Bubble Guppies.
