Dog Mom Mornings: Coffee, Cuddles, and Chaos
Starring Luna, a Pit Bull, and the mugs that fuel the magic
If you’re a dog mom, you already know — mornings aren’t just about coffee and getting ready. They’re about cuddles, routines, a little chaos, and a whole lot of love… especially when there’s a Pit Bull named Luna involved.
Here’s a peek into my typical morning as the human behind Fashionable Sips — featuring strong coffee, strong paws, and the strongest bond I’ve ever known.
☕ 6:45 AM — The Soft Start
My day starts the same way every morning — not with an alarm clock, but with the sound of soft snorts and gentle tail thumps at the side of the bed. Luna doesn’t bark. She doesn’t demand. She just patiently waits… then gives me a big, wet nose boop as if to say, “You up? It’s cuddle time.”
We spend a few quiet minutes together in bed — her head on my chest, mine buried in her neck — soaking up that sleepy warmth. For a moment, there’s no to-do list. Just the heartbeat of a dog who somehow makes everything feel okay.
🐾 7:00 AM — Coffee First (Because Sanity)
Next stop: the kitchen. While Luna does her “morning zoomie” loop through the living room, I head straight for the coffee pot — because nothing gets done without caffeine.
And yes, you guessed it — I reach for one of our signature Fashionable Sips mugs. Today’s pick?
“Pit Bull Mama — Loud, Proud, and Caffeinated.”
It feels just right. Because that’s exactly what I am.
Each mug in our collection is designed to do more than hold coffee. It tells a story. It makes a statement. It starts conversations — even with groggy dog dads who just want five more minutes of sleep.
🦴 7:15 AM — Luna’s Breakfast Drama
Luna has a very specific breakfast routine. She sits perfectly still while I prepare her food… but the second the bowl hits the floor, it’s like she forgets how to eat. She stares at me with big eyes, tail wagging, waiting for something.
A sprinkle of freeze-dried liver treats?
A whispered “okay baby, go ahead”?
A belly rub before she eats?
Who knows. She’s a queen, and queens don’t explain themselves.
📸 7:30 AM — Mug in One Hand, Phone in the Other
Before I dive into work, I take a few minutes to snap a quick photo of my coffee, my chaos, and my muse. Luna always ends up in the shot — sometimes photobombing, sometimes posing like a pro. These little moments become our daily social media check-ins — a way to say, “We’re here. We’re real. We’re messy. We’re happy.”
If you’ve ever caught one of our posts on Instagram, you know the vibe:
🐾 Cozy.
☕ Real.
🐶 Pit Bull Positive.
💻 8:00 AM — The Work Begins (Sort Of)
While I’m answering emails or sketching new mug designs, Luna curls up nearby — her head resting on my feet or on a soft blanket by the window. She snores. She sighs. Occasionally, she grunts in approval or disapproval of what I’m doing.
She’s my coworker. My supervisor. My muse.
And the reason Fashionable Sips even exists.
🧡 Why These Mornings Matter
Dog mom mornings aren’t perfect. Some days the coffee spills. Some days Luna won’t eat unless the bowl is on the rug (don’t ask). Some days it’s hard to balance work, life, and being present.
But it’s in these early hours — before the emails, the errands, the rush — that I find my rhythm. My reminder of why I do what I do. Luna is more than a pet. She’s my anchor, my joy, my daily dose of real love.
Our mugs are made for mornings like this — for the quiet, the cuddly, and yes, the chaotic.
Because being a dog mom isn't a title.
It’s a lifestyle.
And it deserves to be celebrated — one cup at a time.
