Hi Mother!
I was just wondering if you could make me some more fireside coffee sometime? No rush. I still have a few cups left. I love to have it for company and for me too!
Love Kimmy
My replay:
You bet I will...I will do it for you & anyone else.
Just let me gather the ingredients and it's yours.
Love Ya, MOM
I love it when my grown children ask me to make or do something for them.
The mother in me just comes alive.
It's just a Simple Pleasure to fulfill any request.

(this recipe has many names but we call it Fireside Coffee)
I remember making that for "teacher gifts" years ago but forgot about it. may have to make it soon : )
ReplyDeleteI too love when my girls call for a special treat or a recipe :)
Well, the recipe looks yummy, but I love the mother/daughter connection here the most. I need a mom. You're too young. You could be my sister, though! :)
ReplyDeleteChristine - I too love the mother/daughter connection.
ReplyDeleteRecipe sounds good also.
Blessings,
Joan
Ooooh!! That does sound like a great gift and a great thing to have on hand all throughout the winter months. :)
ReplyDeleteChris, have you checked your facebook recently??? I sent you a message and a friend request. :)
I like anything hot that even resembles coffee. This sounds like dessert! Ok, I'll try it. But just for you! :D

Love, love the sound of this coffee, and the name you gave it, as well. I must mix up some. I also get all motherly when my daughter asks me to make something specific for her. That is truly a simple pleasure I hope I never take for granted.
ReplyDeleteI so love doing things for my children,too. I am going to try your recipe .It sounds wonderful
ReplyDeleteChristine this sounds really nice.
ReplyDeleteBy 'creamer' do you mean the coffee-mate?
I don't drink coffee but my hubby does.
This looks like a great gift to make!

Christine, there IS something still wonderful when your "babies" ask you for something. Thank you for sharing with us, too!!
ReplyDeletecoffee+chocolate
ReplyDeleteWhat could be better??
A loving daughter asking for more!
I know that feeling...the mom in you comes out...I feel that too when my kids ask....it's great to be needed and appreciated. Happy St. Pat's
ReplyDeleteChristine...this sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteToo bad I don't drink coffee anymore :(
M.
Isn't it wonderful when your kids ask you for recipes OR (advice)?
ReplyDeleteThis Fireside coffee look yummy!
This makes my mommy heart feel warm. I have one out of the four that has left my nest. I can totally see myself doing the same. *grin*
ReplyDeleteI really loved this simple pleasure.
Blessings!

ReplyDeleteHow sweet! Thanks for sharing the recipe. Can't wait to try it! ~Karen
ReplyDeleteCan I be your daughter for a day - and have some of that Fireside Chat with that cup of coffee?? :)
ReplyDeleteFirst, I agree with that simple pleasure completely. It's the reason that half my house and half my mom's house is headed out of town to help a daughter with a function. LOL
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the recipe. I was so glad you included it. I make my own cocoa, but I have never made a coffee like that. This goes in the WILL MAKE column.
Sounds like a good coffe mix
ReplyDeleteas I just wrote the recipe down
cant wait to try it
thanks for sharing
Christine,
ReplyDeleteFirst - beautiful header!
Second - the recipe looks yummy.
Third - what a wonderful pleasure to be able to do something for a grown child! I know exactly what you mean!
I too love it when one of our grown children need me to do something, great simple pleasure. Great recipe too, thank you for sharing.

Christine,
ReplyDeleteEven though I'm not a coffee drinker, this sounds really good! I too love to do things for my two daughters. That Mothering instinct never goes away does it?
~Jean
I know the feeling....with two grown sons (as yet still unmarried) living far away...."Are you sure I can't send you something?" Thanks for the recipe; I'll try it for myself.
ReplyDeleteThank you for my coffee! I love you!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds good and what a great gift idea. Going to print it out and save :)
ReplyDeleteThank you!
This is such a sweet simple pleasure. Our kids never really grow up do they?
ReplyDeleteOh I must try this!!! Thanks for posting the recipe, and thanks also for your kind comment on my post!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to try this! Kimmy is so blessed to have you for a mom!
ReplyDeleteDee Dee
Thank you for sharing the recipe! My daughter will love that!
ReplyDeleteI get that feeling too, when my married son calls me to ask about a recipe!
Anything this good is worth repeating, Christine. Love it!
ReplyDeleteThat scene is from the window is awesome. And the recipe sounds great
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely view out your window...a perfect spot to enjoy your coffee. Mothers' do love to be needed.
ReplyDelete~Jean
Sounds wonderful!
ReplyDeleteAnd I also think your window photo is wonderful!
