For the love of Target!


Welcome back to Moms' Coffee Date! You've got Sara today, so let's grab a cup of coffee, and let's discuss one of our very favorite places, Target! 

Trina and I had the opportunity to get together last weekend to visit. One of our staples in our schedule on the days we get to hang out is Target. We find ourselves wandering the aisles, Starbucks in hand, as we discuss the merits of the latest shoe collection they have, or which holiday items we must pick up without our children around. It's crazy how much Santa and the Easter Bunny find at Target!  Anyway, this time, I saw these gems below. I am a Pepsi fan, Trina is a Coke fan. We can see past our differences. Ha! 
We decided to give these new types a try on our day out!
Full disclosure: I love soda. I used to drink it all the time. Pepsi, in particular. Actually, Cherry Pepsi, in particular. In the last several years, I have tried really hard to only have it on occasion, in an effort to be healthier and cut back on my sugar consumption. (That may be another post for another day.)

So, on to the taste testing! So, first of all, we picked these right off of the shelf, so they were not cold. That would have been a big benefit. We both tried them when we got back to the car. I actually preferred the one in the darker can, the 1893 Original Cola. It reminded me a lot of Coke. It had that classic cola taste and carbonated flavor. Is that a flavor, exactly? I am not sure, but that it the best way I can describe it. Trina seemed to enjoy it as well, but she preferred the one in the sort of copper colored can, the 1893 Ginger Cola. She says she loves ginger and I think she quite enjoyed it. I was not as big a fan of it as she was. The ginger flavor was pretty strong. 




After that, we browsed a bit more, collecting snacks to take home to our children, and I picked up these super cute Threshold starfish pillows! I love the color teal and the fun texture of the buttons and beads! They were even on sale with the Cartwheel app! Score!
In addition, Trina and I were inspired by these ring pop popsicle/candy molds. Summer is fast approaching, and aren't we always looking for some novel thing to do with our kids? This seemed like a fun thing to try. Trina is going to test this one out and report back. I am saving mine for a last day of school gift for my 3 kiddos.  Did I mention my kids only have 8 days of school left?!? I don't know whether to be excited or terrified! Filling an entire of summer full of activities for 3 kids is daunting. More on that later!
Our cart at checkout!

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope that you grab a coffee with us again soon!

Stranded! September 14: Movies

This month's Stranded Linkup hosted by Shay at Mix & Match Mama and Erika at A Little Bit of Everything is all about Movies!! I don't know about you, but this is a tough one! I love so many movies! I think these three I could watch over and over and over. I think that I have to go with my all-time favorite movie as a child for the first pick. 1st Pick Oh my gosh, you guys! I LOVED this movie SO much when I was little! Hayley Mills is my favorite! This version was the only one in existence when I was young, so I am biased and think this one is MUCH better than the Lindsay Lohan remake. 2nd Pick I mean, who doesn't love Will Ferrell and his crazy antics?! And in a holiday movie!?! We have watched this so many times during Christmastime and every other time of the year! My kids can quote many favorite lines! 3rd Pick I think this one needs to be a newer comedy that my husband and I have watched so many times. I LOVE Paul Rud

Friday Favorites! October 14th

Happy Friday!  We are linking up with  Erika ,  Narci  &  Andrea  for the weekly installment of Friday Favorites! This week my very top favorite is ELECTRICITY! Where I live in Virginia, was affected by Hurricane Matthew. By the time he reached us, he was downgraded to a post-tropical storm or something, but still there was a lot of damage in our area, and people are still dealing with it. We were very lucky. We had no major damage to our home. We did, however, lose power for 40 hours. Yes, I counted!  We were absolutely one of the lucky ones, as we had prepared in advance! And several years ago, we had a generator installed, so we had power to the essentials, like the refrigerator and some lights and a few outlets. Very helpful in keeping all of our devices charged!! My next favorite is celebrating this guy's birthday with his school friends a few days early! We had a video game bus come and park in front of our house. Several of Will's friends came and

I've been reading these Friday Favorites posts on my favorite bloggers sites, and this Friday, I decided we should join in! Sara's Favorite #1 and Fall Bucket List Item! Let's kick it off with Fall TV Premiere Week! That is absolutely a favorite! I have been waiting all summer to get some episodes of some of my favorite shows and check out some new ones! I am most excited for Modern Family, Brooklyn Nine-Nine and The Middle to begin again. Except The  Middle isn't coming back until October 11th?!? Ugh! The waiting continues! I also was excited to check out some new shows! I watched Kevin Can Wait and The Good Place and This Is Us. Kevin Can Wait makes it on my maybe list. The Good Place was cute! But somehow missing something. I am up for waiting to see how that one turns out. This Is Us is seriously amazing. Not to overstate it, but I was blown away. Please watch this if you can. GREAT show. #FallBucketListMCD Sara's Favorite #2 Clothes for
