Like I have said in a few other posts, Riley has officially started preschool. Which means more morning time dedicated to mommy – yay! I think this whole school thing is great for both of us – Riley gets to go learn at school and play with kids, and I get much needed alone time. Win-win for all. 🙂 I thought I would share a bit about my “mom time out” each morning. First, I had stop at Walmart for a refill of Bigelow Tea!
I love the great variety that Walmart has of Bigelow Tea. I am sure that you will be able to find a variety that you like! I love getting the assorted box, because it has many great flavors – including the Sleepy Time and Herbal Lemon varieties. I also love the Red Raspberry. It is delicious over ice!
I like to heat my water up by just doing a cycle in my Keurig without a K-Cup. Did you know you can do this? It’s pretty awesome! I don’t like having to stand at the stove waiting for water to boil. So this is easy peasy and gets done within minutes. Of course you also have to have a fun mug – My “I’m Crafty and I Know it” mug is my favorite. 🙂
My “Mom Time Out” always occurs right after I get Riley on the school bus, and at night after she goes to bed. I use it as a time for reflection, prayer, and some bible reading. It helps me get ready for the day ahead, and to relax and slow down at night. My favorite variety of tea to enjoy in the morning is the Herbal Lemon – the lemony taste is great! And at night, Sleepy Time. It helps me sleep a little better at night.
If you are wondering why Bigelow Tea is my favorite, I have a few reasons. I like to support American companies, and since Bigelow Tea is 100% American made by an American family, it fits the bill. Did you know that there’s a program called Bigelow’s Tea for Troops? They have sent almost 4 million bags of tea to troops overseas. How great is that?! Another pretty cool thing is that Bigelow Tea’s Charleston Tea Plantation is America’s largest working tea garden, and guests are invited to the plantation for tours, weddings, and a variety of music festivals. If you are near that area, you should definitely check it out sometime!

I’m a 20-something stay-at-home mother and wife. I have an amazing husband, a beautiful daughter, two loving dogs, and a lazy cat. I wouldn’t change my life for anything! I love to read, listen to music, cook and blog!
My dad is a huge tea drinker and Bigelow is his brand of choice.
I love the bigelow herbal teas! I love the lemon mint steeped in juice. That is how I love to relax! Plus it helps when I get sick.
I am terrible about taking time out for myself. I have stopped drinking coffee, so tea is my new BFF.
I love Bigelow Teas. They’re delicious!
Bigelow is a great tea brand. I’ve tried pretty much all of their flavors, and they’re all tasty.
I need some Mom Time Out! These teas sound really good. I’m going to have to run to the store to get some.
I love tea! Never thought of making it in my Keurig. That is definitely something I’m going to have to try.
I have never had these teas before, they sound amazing. What a nice selection they offer.
I love a good time out! It’s usually some vanilla chai tea from Bigelow in mt Let it Snow mug… even in the summer!
I love Green Tea, it’s my fave, but I do enjoy the seasonal blends, especially at Christmastime. YUM!
I love the tea for troops program. Sending tea to the troops is a great thing to do and give them a reminder of home.
I love your coffee mug!! I use my Keriug to make oatmeal alot never thought of tea!
My time outs usually include a book and a bath. Hubby always knows when I’m stressed out and tells me to go get a bath!!
My mom time outs usually involve a book and a bubble bath. I often will curl up on the couch with a good book and a cup of Bigelow tea too!!
Bigelow is a great brand. Love that cup!!
Pass the tea. I love any kind of tea I can find.
I love drinking tea, and I will have to make my tea in the Keurig. I like orange spice tea and Green tea because it is so healthy. Bigelow tea makes great tea-they have so many flavors.
