This summer has been one of the busiest summers Abigail and I as a couple have had since being married. We’ve had trips to the zoo, events with the extended family out of state, concerts, moving apartments, movie nights at the drive-in and so on. Having had a baby doesn’t seem to have lessened the amount of outing we take. It has slowed down the speed of our outings because, let’s face it, babies take a lot of energy and focus.
No matter what time of day it is, if we are going on a trip or just getting out of the house Starbucks is a place we frequent. The drive-though attendants know our faces and get updates on our life from week-to-week. Baby was born, taking a trip to Denver, family is in town, etc. There are times when Mr. Dude is not exactly cooperative and there isn’t enough time to stop at the local Starbucks for a caffeine fill-up. That is when Starbucks Via comes in handy. Get a cup of hot water and pour in a packet of Starbucks Via and boom, coffee on the go, in an instant.
Why am I talking about Starbucks? Well, there’s this contest going on right now that I’d love to win. It’s open to the public so you can enter too. 1st place gets ($500 Starbucks gift card), 2nd place gets ($200 Starbucks gift card), and 3rd place gets ($100 Starbucks gift card). Imagine all the coffee you could get with $500! I’m drooling at that thought right now. To enter basically all you have to do is make a Vine or Instagram video promoting Starbucks. You can see my entry below:

Good luck to everyone entering! Feel free to share your entries in the comments section below. Do you have a similar weekend ritual you’d like to share? It could be with coffee or something else. Please feel free to share about it in the comments too!
Joel, thanks so much man, and great job! That really captured fatherhood of a baby.
Thanks! I live on coffee as a father.
