I never know what the day is going to bring.
No matter how hard I try to plan it never seems to work out the way I think it will. I have a to-do list the size of Texas like most people these days and as much as that is a daunting thing to look at… it’s also quite exciting. There are lots of possibilities out there and I love all the adventure they bring.
Every morning I start my day with a cup of coffee with Coffee-Mate French Vanilla Creamer.
Coffee-mate (coffee’s perfect mate since 1961) doesn’t believe in “plain vanilla” for your coffee, which is why they have used their flavor expertise to develop two distinctive and exceptional vanilla experiences (and one is a new classic).
Your favorite flavor is now also available in two flavors: Classic and French.
Classic Vanilla: The comforting flavor you remember in all your childhood treats. This one was born in the classic American kitchen. Flavor is driven by beany, woody and vanillia notes with very little marshmallow and icing character. It is balanced and aromatic. French Vanilla: Deliciously creamy, this flavor is perfect anytime. Its rich, smooth flavor makes it ideal to share or enjoy all to yourself.
I have just a few minutes to enjoy my vanilla coffee before the fun like this starts…
I sit back and soak in all the possibilities that come with a brand new day.
Am I the only one that LOVES to see this happen?
I’m taking back vanilla because vanilla invigorates me!
I use this burst of energy to start the day off right! You can too with my list of “5 Steps To Start Your Day Off Right”:
- Take a moment right when you wake up to breathe. Think about all that is good in your life and smile.
- Grab a cup of joe and a splash of Classic or French Vanilla Coffee-mate Creamer. Let the vanilla energize you.
- Write out your to-do list and prioritize it by importance.
- Make time for something fun. Every day may not be a full on day of fun, but there is always time for a moment or two of added fun. Plan a walk with a neighbor or a call with a friend.
- Plan some surprise ways to show your loved ones that you care. I like to write out a note and hide it in my daughter’s lunch box for her to find later.
Do you love vanilla too?

I love anything Vanilla flavour. It is so yummy. I need to get some of this creamer!
I can’t drink coffee without creamer. French Vanilla is one of my favorites.
I agree! And, my daughter uses tons of creamer and she always prefers French Vanilla from Coffee Mate!
I love the simple vanilla creamer as well. Sometimes its nice just to have the basics for coffee as well. Glad to see how others enjoy it as well.
I don’t drink coffee ever, but I do have the ritual like you to start the day with intention. It really sets the tone for what will happen.
That’s a great way to start your day!
YES! Wish I had some in my fridge now to go in my coffee!
Mmmmm never tried French vanilla in my coffee – that sounds amazing! And I love watching the clouds formed by the milk too 🙂
I love CoffeeMate! I even use it in my hot chocolate! YUM!
MMMM, this looks great! Definitely starting our day off right!
I’m not a big coffee drinker, but that vanilla creamer sounds good. Yum!
I am not a coffee drinker but I do use Coffee Mate for my tea as well as to bake with. I get picked on for using it in tea though – if you have never tried it I highly recommend it!
I usually drink coffee black. When I do use creamer I use Coffee-Mate. Thanks for sharing.
My grandmother only ever uses Vanilla and my mother only ever uses hazelnut – both of them only use Coffee Mate. lol
I love the vanilla creamers. Best way to start my morning in my coffee.
I have not seen the vanilla one over here only the original one,I would love to see it here though.
I love vanilla but don’t put creamer in my coffee anymore. We used to just use it for “special occasions” but we started calling getting out of bed a special occasion so we cut back on it.
Yummy! I so could use this right now! Coffee Mate makes very flavorful creamers!
French Vanilla is one of my favorites! It certainly is something I use when I want to have a special moment with my coffee!
I love coffee mate! Vanilla has always been my favorite. I use it in my coffee when I am wanting a little something sweet but don’t really want to eat anything.
I like when the milk mixes with the coffee too. 🙂 Glad you’re taking vanilla back, lol! Fun post. 🙂
I’m a huge fan of Coffee-mate. Vanilla is sitting my in fridge right now
Love vanilla Coffee Mate. Probably one of my favorite flavors they carry.
Neat concept! Vanilla has always been one of my faves 🙂
We are huge Coffee Mate fans, Hazelnut is my fave!
I don’t drink coffee but I’m sure that this makes it delicious!
I love vanilla anything. I’ll have to try this creamer.
Vanilla wouldn’t be my first flavour choice but when I do have it, I think French Vanilla has a better flavour. I think I read somewhere that it’s more popular than chocolate!
Vanilla is my absolute favorite. I have to have vanilla in my coffee.
I use this brand, but Hazelnut flavor – I LOVE IT and agree it’s the best way to start the day. At least for me. Thanks for sharing this post!
Classic Vanilla is going to be my fave. I love vanilla bean ice cream and mostly vanilla in everything that is flavoring. Ironically, not french vanilla. But for coffee cream, classic or any twist on vanilla is coming home with me. Yes, I love to see my coffee change from black to slightly creamed. It is the best way to start a moment that involves coffee and relaxation.
YUMMM I love Vanilla in my coffee… this creamer is ALWAYS in my fridge… glad I’m not the only one addicted 🙂
I love your tips. My favorit eis writing out your to do list and prioritizing it. That is so important. I know I asometimes just do the easiest things, but then at the end of the day all the stuff that I really needed to do is still not done.
That looks delicious! I could use it right now. The kids are bouncing off the wall and I need a minute! LOL!
Now that’s a delicious way to start off your day! I always need a drink of something hot to start my day.
I love vanilla in my coffee! Way to take back your morning!
I love vanilla creamer. I also like to see the cream mix in with the coffee.
My husband is obsessed with his vanilla creamer. He loves it.
Your post makes me want coffee! I love the french vanilla.
I love creamer in my coffee! Hubby is a vanilla kinda guy and I’m a chocolate lover !
I can’t and won’t drink coffee without creamer. Most of the time it is the French Vanilla in my cup too!
I love adding creamer to my coffee. Some people even say to me “Would you love coffee with your cream?” because I use so much!
I need to be better about prioritizing my to-do list. I have SO much to do and it all just sits in a jumbled mess in my head making me crazy, lol!
My husband is such a huge fan of Coffee Mate Vanilla. He also has it in his morning cup of coffee every day!
I am not a coffee drinker. this is my moms favorite flavor
I love coffee and usually drink it black. If I use creamer I always buy the Coffee-Mate which as a wide variety of flavors. Thanks for sharing.
My son loves anything Vanilla. I love Coffee Mate, but I tend to go for the chocolatey flavors. I do like mixing cinnamon into the French Vanilla though!
I LOVE French Vanilla. When I haven’t had a good night’s sleep, I stop off at a local coffee shop and order one before heading to school. It works like a charm. I feel 100% better and can face the day head on.
Vanilla is so yummy and classic. Love this flavor.
I love vanilla! Your pictures really evoke that calm morning feeling with just you and your cup of coffee. And I will try tomorrow to think about my good life first thing when I wake up!
Sugar free vanilla is my favorite flavor. Can’t start my day without it!
Dawn loves Vanilla Coffee-mate! The only brand she will use in her coffee!
ah! love this! the looks amazing and i love your photos too!
I agree! those are great photos
