Morning Coffee Ritual

April 24, 2015

Last Updated on September 19, 2023

My morning coffee ritual was way different, BC…that’s “before children” in Mommy talk. These days, it’s a 5 a.m. wake-up call and a mad rush to get me, The Boy, and two kiddos out the door—a whirlwind of miniature socks and mascara. I’m usually holding a hairdryer in one hand and wiping a tiny hand with the other. Don’t get me wrong, I love my life, but enjoying a quiet moment alone is sometimes cherished.

My Morning Coffee Ritual

Every once in a while, I’m blessed with one of these mornings. It’s a rare day when I’m the first to awake. A tiny reminder of the way things were. My coffee is what The Boy refers to as hipster coffee – Solace Coffee. Yes, it might be roasted by a fancy Hollywood director who is always flying to NYC and presently lives in a town so obscure you’ve probably never heard of it. (I also might have gone to high school with him. But let me tell you, this dude’s coffee is mild, not bitter, smooth, high octane, and utterly delightful. I refuse to drink anything else.

My Morning Coffee Ritual

After starting the coffee maker (or if I’m feeling really fancy, I’ll do a pour-over in the Chemex), I sneak outside with my yoga mat and just breathe. Sun salutation 1 soon, I’m feeling energized. I quietly tiptoe back inside, and the smell hits me first. It reminds me of my old college days working at The Venerable Bean. I grab my favorite marble mug and pour. Mix in the tiniest bit of sugar with a splash of cream.

Always hold the mug by its handle in one hand. The other palm lightly taps the side until I know it’s cooled just enough. I like to sit and breathe in its moist air. I grab a seat in my front room…the one without the TV. No distractions. I know pretty soon I hear the pitter-patter of tiny feet—a sweet giggle over the baby monitor. Quiet time is over Mommy. My morning coffee ritual has ended. The fun is now about to begin, and it’s time to enjoy the day. What is your coffee ritual?
