Five on Friday - September 29, 2017

Happy Friday! Can you believe we are almost through September?!?  The temperatures have finally dipped below 90 in St. Louis and it has me excited for Fall. We've had the windows open the last two nights and I love feeling the chill in the air.

I'm also pretty excited to share my five with you today, so here goes ~

1.  National Coffee Day
For all you coffee lovers out there, Happy National Coffee Day!!  If you're looking for a free cup of joe, pop on over to Krispy Kreme.  Heck, Krispy Kreme is loving National Coffee Day so much they are celebrating the entire weekend!  From September 29 to October 1, you can score a hot coffee in any size as well as a small iced coffee (at participating locations, of course).  If you go to Starbuck, get out your wallet.  No freebies there, but they do have their new maple-pecan latte flavor available if you're looking for a twist to your coffee.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch is partnering with Dunkin' Donuts in a contest to win a year's worth of free coffee.  How cool would that be!  You can enter by clicking HERE.



2.  Sleeping Beauties
Stephen King's latest book hit the stands on Tuesday - Sleeping Beauties.  Here's what Goodreads has to say about it, "In this spectacular father-son collaboration, Stephen King and Owen King tell the highest of high-stakes stories: what might happen if women disappeared from the world of men?
In a future so real and near it might be now, something happens when women go to sleep; they become shrouded in a cocoon-like gauze. If they are awakened, if the gauze wrapping their bodies is disturbed or violated, the women become feral and spectacularly violent; and while they sleep they go to another place. The men of our world are abandoned, left to their increasingly primal devices. One woman, however, the mysterious Evie, is immune to the blessing or curse of the sleeping disease. Is Evie a medical anomaly to be studied, or is she a demon who must be slain? Set in a small Appalachian town whose primary employer is a women’s prison, Sleeping Beauties is wildly provocative and gloriously absorbing."  His books are just too weird for me, but I'm sure it will be a best seller.

3. Pumpkin Spice Cheerios

Now that it's officially pumpkin spice everything season, I thought I'd share this limited edition with you - Pumpkin Spice Cheerios.  Have you seen them?  I checked the availability in my area by putting my zip code in HERE and apparently Walmart has them on their shelves.  You can also get them through Amazon by clicking HERE.  These babies are made from real pumpkin puree and a "delicious blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove."  Sounds pretty good to me!

4. Lemon Honey Sticks

I participated in a mug exchange and received my package this week.  In case you missed my reveal, you can catch it HERE.  In my box, Johannah from over at The Sirois Family Blog sent me a package of these Lemon Honey Sticks and they are fantastic!  I've already made a dent in the package she sent and ordered more so I didn't run out.  They also come in just honey flavor and cinnamon.  So yummy!

5.  This is so me....

Now let's get this weekend started!  Eric and I are going to dinner with Ian and Kayla tonight to wish our favorite waitress at Cooper's Hawk good luck in her new job.  We have fallen in love with her and are happy she's moving on to a position in her major, but sad we won't be seeing her at the restaurant.  Then tomorrow morning bright and early I'm headed to a girls getaway with some friends from college.  Fun times ahead!  Hope you pop in next week to hear all about it.
