Baking Showdowns, Concert Adventures, and Holiday Coffee Prep | Join Britain, Patti, & Laurie!

Welcome back to another fun-filled episode with Britain, Patti, and Laurie as we chat about everything from baking disasters and concert adventures to prepping for the holiday coffee season! First, we dive into the results of our recent baking challenge, where Laurie somehow managed to retain her title as the reigning champion with her surprise macaron victory. Patti's pink vanilla cupcakes, while delicious, didn’t go as planned, and Britain’s raspberry sorbet had everyone puckering up with its extra tartness! It was a close competition, but Laurie walks away with the crown again… for now. Of course, it wouldn't be a normal week without some chaos! Laurie shares her wild weekend experience of camping out on the streets of Chicago (in heels, no less!) for Gracie Abrams’ concert. Hear all about the 24-hour adventure that involved dodging sketchy areas, being first in line, and even getting Sedona featured on Gracie’s Instagram! Despite no sleep and questionable bathroom options (Sonic tater tots for the win!), the concert was worth it, and the camaraderie with other fans made the long wait bearable. As for Patti, her concert weekend was a bit more relaxed—at least compared to Laurie's! But we also dive into some heartwarming and hilarious stories about our kids, and we reflect on how fast they’re growing up. The theme of motherhood and the different stages our children are in keeps coming up, and we’re reminded just how quickly time flies by. We also want to thank everyone for the amazing support during National Coffee Day! We were overwhelmed with the love and packed over 500 orders on Monday alone. For those who are waiting for holiday coffees, the countdown is on! Christmas Blend (CHB) and Merry Mocha are coming soon, with Advent Calendars launching in early November. Britain shares a story about one excited customer who’s already pre-ordered ten bags of CHB, and we’re getting everything ready to meet the holiday rush! We also reflect on the importance of family and gratitude during challenging times, especially after hearing about the devastating storms in the South. Our hearts and prayers go out to all the families affected. It’s times like these that remind us to cherish our loved ones and appreciate the small joys in life, like a great cup of coffee or sharing a laugh with friends. To close, we talk about our annual family vacation to Florida that’s coming up soon. It’s a tradition we’ve held since Britain was just nine months old, and every year it’s filled with fun, relaxation, and more memories with the family. We’ll try to go live from Florida next week—if the weather cooperates! Highlights: Laurie’s unexpected baking challenge win with macarons. Lauries’s 24-hour camping adventure for Gracie Abrams in Chicago. Patti’s reflection on motherhood and family traditions. Holiday coffee updates: Cinnamon Holiday Blend, Merry Mocha, and Advent Calendars. A special shoutout to our customers for making National Coffee Day a huge success. Stories of laughter, motherhood, and the importance of family during tough times. As always, thank you for being part of our journey! Grab a cup of coffee and enjoy this week’s episode full of laughs, love, and a little bit of chaos.
