MIDDLE SCHOOL: THE WORST YEARS OF MY LIFE, arrives on Digital HD today, Dec 20, 2016

"A fun, rebellious romp that celebrates creativity and outside-the-box thinking"

Brooklyn Bean Roastery Gingerbread Man Coffee, just in time for the holidays!

Brooklyn Bean Roastery Gingerbread Man Single Cup Coffee for Keurig K-Cup Brewers, 40 Count

Brooklyn Beans

⛄ Brooklyn Bean Roastery Gingerbread Man Coffee ❆

• Brown Sugar Ginger Flavored Coffee

• Small batch roasted craft coffee

• Extra fresh and filter brewed, using only the highest quality 100% Arabica Coffee beans

• Keurig Compatible including 2.0 K Cup Brewers

• Limited Edition Holiday Seasonal Flavor

If the only time you run and run as fast as you can is when you’re late for a Brooklyn bound F-train, we have the coffee for you. Spicy, sweet, bold, and decadent, our Gingerbread Man is easy to catch…if only during the holidays. This medium bodied coffee is rich and smooth, and loaded with the seasonal flavors of brown sugar and ginger. It’ll tantalize your taste buds, but unlike a certain edible storybook character, it’ll never taunt you

December is the perfect time to try Brooklyn Bean Roastery Gingerbread Man Coffee K-Cups! I love getting the seasonal flavors and Gingerbread Man is fantastic! It is not too strong, no overwhelming flavors, just enough brown sugar and ginger flavor to give you a hint of gingerbread. 

The Arabica coffee is still the star of the cup.  It is a nice medium blend for any time of the day or night.  I have been enjoying a hot cup of Brooklyn Bean Roastery Gingerbread Man Coffee with a holiday cookie in the mornings and find myself wanting another cup later in the day! 

I really like that these K-Cups work perfectly in my Keurig 2.0 so I can enjoy a tasty coffee treat anytime! I think this limited edition holiday flavor would make the perfect gift and a nice addition to your coffee selection during the holidays!

IPEMA’sVoice of Play http://voiceofplay.org/

The Voice of Play is an education and advocacy initiative of the non-profit membership association, IPEMA, formed to educate and promote the benefits of children’s free outdoor play and playgrounds.  

Through the Voice of Play website and social media properties, IPEMA highlights the scientifically proven physical, social, emotional and cognitive benefits of play. 

As a family, we believe in the importance of outdoor play all year round, like in the picture above where we are at the local apple orchard picking and eating delicious apples for holiday pies. We especially encourage play during the busy Holiday season to relieve stress, get outdoors in the fresh air and just have fun playing in the fallen leaves, playing hide and seek, walking to the local park collecting fall leaves on the way and playing on the playground equipment.  Our girls love for me to shout out an obstacle course for them to follow on the playground equipment during the colder days, they keep busy and active and have a lot of fun getting to the finish line. We take our found leaves home and talk about what kind of tree they fell from and turn them into crafts. Even though it has been cold and snowing, we find this is the perfect time to get bundled up and get outside to make snow angels in the newly fallen snow. We shovel the walk way and driveway and with our piles of snow we make snow men! It is a great way for families to spend time outdoors together, no matter what the season!
