The luxury of breakfast...

Since having kids, breakfast is no longer a slow and relaxing start to my day.  It seems like a constant rush of getting everyone what they need, refilling drinks, fetching vitamins, cleaning sticky hands and having a few sips of my never-hot coffee in between.  Don't get me wrong, I love serving my children healthy food that will jumpstart their day, but I do miss the luxury of a long, slow breakfast.

Yesterday morning I had the pleasure of enjoying a breakfast out...yes, out!  I only had one child with me and it was glorious.  I was able to dine with a friend who also brought her little one.  Even though we spend a lot of our time chasing and appeasing our children, we actually ate a warm breakfast and drank hot coffee!  What a luxury.

I hope you enjoy some longer and slower breakfasts during this cold snap!
