While we are still in August, retail establishments are already putting out their seasonal selections for this year’s Halloween. Today’s Mug of the Day is not an officially licensed Disney product, however, it certainly evokes a great deal of Disney nostalgia if you are a fan of the movie Hocus Pocus. With a quirky feel similar to that of the movie’s dialog also demonstrated in the title of this entry (which is a direct quote from the movie), this mug says “Hocus Pocus I Ne

It's Memorial Day Monday, and many people are enjoying a day off in remembrance of those who sacrificed dearly to preserve our freedoms. As I sip my coffee this morning, there is no Monday morning angst. I am very fortunate to have the privilege of living the weekly irritation that is Monday morning. Thank you to all those who have served and continue to serve in our armed forces, and to those who have made unfathomable sacrifices for the sake of our freedom. Thank you to

This Monday is halfway in the books already, but many people often require the benefit of a cup of coffee throughout the course of the entire day. Morning, midday, clocking out - no better time like the present to enjoy a Mug of the Day! For today’s Mug of the Day I stumbled across a mug on eBay a day or so ago that caught my attention immediately. If I wasn’t on a self-imposed spending freeze I would jump at the chance to purchase it as the listing is still live at the ti

Many believe it was all started by a mouse. Not true. It all started within the mind of a single man gifted with unbridled creative prowess and drive. Walter Elias Disney - born on December 5th, 1901. Today’s Mug of the Day was created to honor what would have been Walt’s 100th birthday celebration had he not left us much too soon at the young age of 65. I picked up this mug some time ago off a major secondary market auction sales website - namely eBay, lol. It shows a l

Dead men tell no tales - so liven up matey! Hurry up and down that cup of joe! It’s Monday and prime time to showcase a new coffee mug. Today’s mug is a new release featuring the upcoming blockbuster: Pirates of the Caribbean - Dead Men Tell No Tales. Portrayed on this mug are the characters of Henry Turner, Carina Smyth, and Captain Jack Sparrow played by, of course, none other than Johnny Depp. The recent release of this mug and other film related merchandise just so ha

Monday mornings are the worst. I am willing to go so far as to say that even morning people don't like Monday mornings. Monday mornings aside, what if no morning is pleasant in your book? Perhaps, much like myself, you are not a “morning person.” At one point I considered myself a “night owl,” although at this stage in my life as a parent of two little ones, I am slowly coming to terms with being neither. If you are of the type of personality that dreads life in the morning

Mondays. Oy vey! If it were a Monday and I spilled my cup of joe, yes I would tear up. How do I know? It’s happened. Mondays have enough challenges without wasting your morning energy lifeline and often without immediate replenishment nearby. Se la vi. It’s Mug of the Day Monday! So why the milk idiom? For today’s mug I am taking it back… way back. In fact, so far back, to be honest I don’t even use this mug for my morning coffee. Instead I proudly display it in a c

Yes, I like my coffee black. No frills. Lip smacking bitter. A coffee that makes one’s taste buds fight back. Most mugs these days can’t even come close to dressing the character of my coffee preference. Like putting a blinged-out collar on a rabid wolf. This morning I came across a mug that comes closer than any other mug I’ve seen to befitting my coffee taste. It was recently released by the Disney Store in a wave of merchandise for the upcoming Cars 3 flick to be re

Mondays are often a dread to face and we may need something a little more potent to get through our day. What better vessel for our day-starting poison than this iconic poison apple themed mug from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs? I don't personally own this mug and it currently shows sold out on disneystore.com indicating a high level of popularity. A periodic check of the product page by CLICKING HERE may end up showing this mug back in stock eventually so it may be wort

Having to start a work week on a dreary Monday morning sure makes one appreciate the naivety of childhood. In a similar way, nostalgic Disney causes many of us to want to relive fond memories of our childhood. Why can’t we? This mug certainly helps you start your week off on the right foot! Who says you have to grow up? Sure we all have our adult responsibilities, but why can’t we pursue them with the same youthful vibrant outlook we had as children? Why can’t we engage
