It’s a coffee kind of day! Whether that’s iced, hot or steamed. We love starting our day with a cup of coffee! How did you start your morning off? ... #questions #coffee #icedcoffee #downtothebean #coffeebean #coffeebeans #coffeeshop #espresso
What does your Sunday look like? For me (Olivia), Sunday is a day of rest. A day where I can stay in my sweat pants, watch church online, connect with some friends over the phone and slow things down! Sunday is a day where I get to reset after a full week and rest in the presence of God with nothing else going on. ... Sunday is a day where I get to make iced coffee (yes, I do this every day) and jump in the car, turn my music up way too loud and cruise. I love driving. I love the open road. I love seeing people. I love singing and trying to be louder than my music. I love people laughing at me at stoplights because I’m smiling and singing. I love that my iced coffee tastes just a little different when I’m driving. Sunday is a day where I get to rest and do something that makes my heart happy. What do you do on Sundays? What’s something that makes you feel excited? What’s something that brings a smile to your face? #reset #sunday #downtothebean #coffeeshop #icedcoffee #driving #question #happy
