Welcome to another Ultimate Coffee Date! I’m a little late in the game today because things have been hectic but hooray for being here! If things look a lil funky, I’m writing this post on my phone. 🥲 Will fix later.
Ultimate Coffee Date: June 2026

If we were having coffee/tea today, I’d tell you that…the cat distribution services got to me and I’ve adopted a kitten! (His government name is Sushi but we’ve been calling him Sushers [pronounced “Soo-shers”]).
I haven’t had a kitten since 2005 so this chaos potato’s energy levels are definitely something to get used to but he is adorable and for the 5-35 seconds that he is calm in the day, he is very cuddly and sweet. 😅 We’re currently in the “hands/feet are not toys” teaching phase.

If we were having coffee/tea today, I’d tell you that…on the subject of sushi, a new sushi buffet opened near us recently and the food is amazinggggg! We’ve been there twice already and we only discovered it a few weeks back, haha.
If we were having coffee/tea today, I’d tell you that…we decided to try making our own chai lattes at home (+ in bulk so we could have it throughout the week)!
It felt like a nice way to save money and I had recently stocked up on everything we’d need via a Penzey’s Spices sale. It turned out really well! Will be experimenting with different teas in the future to change things up! (It’ll help me to finally make a dent in all the tea I have!)
If we were having coffee/tea today, I’d tell you that…I recently got back into drawing/learning to draw. (I feel like collecting art/craft supplies is a hobby all by itself, but one of my ongoing goals has been to finally start using everything!)

- Have you ever tried making your go-to drink order at home? How did it turn out?
- Do you do any arts/crafts? Do you also have a whole stockpile like I do? (I swear I’m working through everything…just very slowly. 😅)
