Life has a tendency of moving at a very fast pace. We often get caught up in trying to keep up with the race and don’t spend enough time slowing down long enough to appreciate every single moment. While most of us stop to celebrate the big events in our lives, like weddings and birthdays, we rarely commemorate the small victories and precious little events that sprinkle our lives.
This is especially true when it comes to marriage, especially when you have kids. Couples can get preoccupied with working and raising a family and don’t always take the time out to enjoy each other’s company for stolen moments. My husband and I have decided to appreciate life moment by moment just because and not due to being obligated to do so on special occasions. It’s our way of expressing our love and letting each other know that we matter in our relationship.
Enjoying a cup of NESCAFÉ® Clásico ™ with my sweetheart makes these simple moments even more enjoyable. It has been a staple in our families for years because of its bold flavor which we, as Latinos, value in a good cup of coffee. It is made from 100% pure coffee that has been spray dried after being brewed and reaching its flavor peak. Its beans are sourced from key coffee countries in Latin America. Every cup has a delicious aroma and flavor which embodies our cultural “sabor” or flavor.
Since my husband wakes up at the crack of dawn to go to work, we often will enjoy a cup of NESCAFÉ® Clásico ™ before he leaves. It’s our way of welcoming the new day together and making sure we connect regularly despite our busy schedules. This way, we always know that we are in control of making these wonderful little moments happen instead of waiting for them to happen to us.
In 2014, NESCAFÉ® Clásico ™ partnered with Ricky Martin because he embodies someone who values living life, embracing family unity and the joy of being Latino. This partnership is extending into 2015 and both brands are supporting one another in representing these ideals.
For us, demonstrating our love for one another with NESCAFÉ® Clásico ™ moments in this simple way, makes us both happy and starts off our mornings on the right note every day. It is our humble way of celebrating the little moments!

I think sometimes we tend to overlook the little things, but I try to take a few minutes to reflect on our day at the boys bedtimes.
We insist on a family dinner every night just to have the time together. It is so important to make the time for the little things.
Im going to have to try this Nescafe drink 😉
We love having coffee together every morning. I have yet to try the Nescafe Clasico.
After the dinner dishes are cleared and cleaned, we like to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee together.
Thank you!
Sometimes we have to sneak in that alone / together time while we are doing the dishes haha
We have a cup of coffee after dinner and talk about anything and everything. It is during this time that we make plans for our future, for the kids and for our career. Wonderful bonding moment!
Our celebrations always seem to revolve around food! We all contribute to a meal to celebrate the little things…and the big things, too!
We love enjoying time over a tasty bowl of homemade ice cream, but coffee is great as well!
The little moments often create the big memories. Nothing better than sitting and talking over a cup of coffee.
We spend time together in bed before we go to sleep, just winding down, talking, on our computers or phones.
My sister was just here for a week. It was so nice just getting to sit and talk with her and relive some of our crazy things we did while growing up.
When I get a chance to really visit with my friends we always sit down to a good cup of coffee and then reminisce and laugh also.
I would never be able to start a productive day without a good cup of coffee! It’s a must!!!
Any kind of connection that happens over coffee is a good one 🙂 My hubby and I still enjoy coffee dates, too!
Coffee–it has been my constant companion in iced form this summer–even more so then iced tea! I have had Nescafe Clasico and it is a really good full bodied coffee.
I love that you guys have that special time together in the morning. What a great send-off to the day!
Oh Ricky Martin! I haven’t seen him in ages. How awesome. We enjoy celebrating little moments by hanging out, having little get togethers, and even having a movie night! Anything we can do together!
This is the coffee of choice in our house. My hubby says it reminds him of home. Also he can’t function without it! LOL. We try to spend time together each week. some kind of date night.
My parents always drank this coffee and every once an while I would sneak a cup when I was a kid.
We are celebrating our 31st wedding anniversary tomorrow. We celebrate the little things, and have most of our “dates” at home. We make it special, hold hands on the couch and have some treats – like popcorn, water ice, coffee. My husband has to live away because of his job, but we try to have in person dates on Saturday nights. Other than that, it is on the phone and social media for us!
Life really is all about the little things, for sure! I have had Necafe in the past… it’s a favorite of mine in the cooler months!
We celebrate with food all the time. This looks like a great coffee.
This sounds really good, I could go for a cup of this now. I wonder how it would be as iced coffee.
Having a cup of coffee is a great way to stay connected. My husband and I love sitting out on our patio for a few minutes every night and just talk. We make sure we are unplugged from all electronics and we take the phone off the hook for that time too.
We never start our day off together, my husband is gone before most of us wake up. We tend to do our catching up in the evening. I do enjoy my morning cup with Nescafe though!
That’s a nice giveaway. I’m in the mood for some coffee right this second!
In the mornings, we sit on the patio and enjoy breakfast and coffee during the summer. In the evenings, we either take a stroll outside, or sit on the balcony and enjoy a glass of wine and some snacks!
I love to use Nescafe in my dessert recipes especially Flan! You wouldn’t believe the flavor our desserts have when we sprinkle some into any batter or mix. Yum!!
Nescafe is a great coffee. I like to start my day with a cup out on my deck. It is a great way to start the day.
I love that you and your husband will enjoy a cup of nescafe before your busy days. A way to reconnect before the day. I like it never thought of that concept to take time to enjoy the day before the hustle and bustle. Will have to try some of that nescafe and those cookies. They looked delicious
What a delightful way to start the day with a loved and/or to spend an afternoon in the company of those we love … with Madeleines and coffee. These are two of my favorite treats! Add Ricky’s music to the mix and I’m happy! 🙂
Food! Food is always involved in our celebrations. From a simple dessert, to a more elaborate get together.
I only get to share some quiet coffee time with my hubs either before bed (hello decaf, LOL), or super early on Sunday mornings (which usually never happens). It’ll definitely be a before bed kind of night tonight though since I really want some coffee now. 😉
This summer it’s usually just my son and I in the morning. So we enjoy our breakfast together. I love the weekends because hubby is home and we get to share our breakfast as a family! I love it!
I tend to focus on touch. I try to make it a point to hug my boys often, even if only quick little snuggles.
We celebrate by just enjoying the time that we have together. Sometimes that is really hard but we always seem to find a little time every now and then.
My family has supper together every night and we talk about what’s going on in our lives and what positive things we did during the day.
I love Coffee & Nescafe is something which I have been using over the year, the best in the market. Even few little moments can at times create some sweet memories. I like that cute couple selfie picture & that group selfie as well.
By spending as much time and doing as much stuff as I can with them!
We celebrate little moments by being together. For example, this afternoon a storm rolled through, and the clouds were beautiful. So we went outside to enjoy them together.
We celebrate the little moments just by being together and enjoying each other. Time goes so fast you have to love each other while you can.
Celebrations usually involve food in our family. I also try to decorate the house.
We love tog hiking and have picnics at he park.
We do try to watch a movie together or just take a nice quiet walk and discuss what is happening in our lives.
We celebrate the little moments with surprises. We love spending time together as a family and sometimes having a nice hot cup of coffee awakes us for those little moments!
By taking some time to kick back and relax whether it be with a special dessert or movie.
We have weekly family movie days. We also eat dinner together as a family every month.
