• Fire Department Coffee is Delicious

    I recently received some terrific coffee to review. I got two bean samples, the Original Medium Roast coffee and the Vanilla Bean Bourbon infused coffee from the Fire Department Coffee Company. This company was founded and owned by a Veteran turned firefighter and is run by firefighters. In fact they give back by donating 10% of the proceeds to their Foundation to help support first responders who have been injured (physically or mentally) or are facing serious health challenges. The samples of Fire Department Coffee that I received were seriously some of the best coffee I’ve had. Both have a wonderful aroma and deliver a very smooth experience without bitter…

  • 2019 Day 6 Nurses Week – More Give Aways

    As Nurses Week winds down I do hope that you have taken time to honor YOU! To say thank you to YOU for all that YOU do and to thank those around you who help you so that you can continue to do so. I’ve seen many postings on social media about nurses being disappointed in the gifts they have or have not received from their employers. This is NOT about entitlement! And I hate seeing nurses act this way! Nurses Week is and always has been about elevating the presence of the nursing profession and about celebrating ourselves. It’s about reminding the world who we are and what we…
