morning helps + $100 visa gift card giveaway!

05 March 2015





Good morning! Actually -- this post is about mornings. Our day begins at 6:10 when our oldest gets up to be out the door at 6:45 for carpool. I’m learning that anything that can be done the night before seems to pave the way for a smoother morning. Something that has helped our morning prep time a lot with our girls showering at night. Mostly because they have long hair and it gives them time for it to dry, to braid it for waves, etc.
I have half an hour until the next shift comes up for breakfast/scriptures at 7:15. That is usually my quiet time to read, go over calendar and plan for the day. I’m amazed at how different children can be with waking up. One is like clockwork. The alarm goes off, he’s up and out to the kitchen. My baby (okay, he’s 6 now) still loves to be sleep as long as possible and be carried out to the table with his kitty blanket. Some mornings we are in the older kids’ bedrooms a couple of times trying to get them up and out.

breakfast mornings















Breakfast is random -- it’s usually cereal, oatmeal, smoothies, toast + cheesy eggs, or an egg sandwich. For special mornings we like to make baked oatmeal (a recipe from my mother-in-law) with blueberries or crepes (a recipe from my dad).
For crazy mornings, we love to keep these on hand: Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwiches! I buy the boxes at Costco.


jimmy dean sausage egg cheese croissant breakfast sandwiches













Why I love them:
They are quick to prepare: 80 seconds in the microwave. NO turning, stirring and flipping, 1 minute at half power nonsense. Just put it in and it’s ready to grab and eat on the way to basketball practice. Good protein and only about 90 cents each.

I’ve mentioned before that when I only take blog post campaigns for things I love, and these are already a star player in some of our mornings, so it was perfect for me.

AND my husband and I love these -- the Jimmy Dean Delights with turkey sausage, egg white, and cheese for only 250 calories.

  13. I love those Jimmy Dean Sandwiches. We buy them in the big pack from Costco.Nothing like starting my morning off walking to the corner to get my oldest on the bus and coming back with my little one and having a cup of coffee and working on my blog for a while.

  16. April was in CT now CA3/5/15, 10:37 AM

    First things first: coffee! I go through phases on what I eat and right now it's cream of wheat. Sometimes I make my own sausage, egg, English muffin sandwich. Pop the muffin into the toaster oven, spray a ramekin with non-stick spray, whisk one egg with a little S&P and sprinkle in some sausage crumbles (I cook up a lb and keep it in a baggie in the freezer and just grab what I need), microwave the egg, butter my muffin, assemble and eat. It's ready in about 5 minutes (including toasting time).

  32. Thanks for the chance to win. We almost always make trader joes multigrain oatmeal! It sticks to your ribs, keeping us full and giving us energy! I have twin 2-year-olds, so energy is there anyways, but at least I know their big/little bellies are happy. I let the boys choose their toppings. They usually bring out the honey, raspberries, blueberries, raisins and bananas. Yum! Love seeing your kids in that gorgeous kitchen :)

  40. 2 weeks ago at church, our pastor was talking about tithing. He was talking about it being our first fruits, the first thing we do when getting paid is write out our tithe check. This is a principle my husband and I have practiced our whole marriage, but then he mentioned our time too. It made so much sense to me that God would want at least a tenth of my time, and not only that, but it should be the first time I give during my day. Since then, the first thing I do when I wake up is spend time with God. I really love it! Plus, it's an excuse for me to stay in bed a little bit longer :)

  44. My husband travels to work, so our mornings are early. I get the coffee all ready to go the night before and use the program setting so we wake up to hot coffee. The more I can do the night before, the smoother the morning.

    My absolute FAVORITE way to start the day is throwing on clothes, driving down to the beach, pulling out by outrigger canoe and paddling in the beautiful waters of Newport Beach. It's quiet and calm and the only people you see are those on the water. Perfection.

  50. I am strictly a cold cereal girl, but my boys all love Jimmy Dean sandwiches. I've also been making bagel thins with cream cheese & fresh cucumbers that everyone is loving right now. It's all about variety!

    ReplyDelete
  51. During the week, I have to make and pack four lunches so, the kids just grab cereal, bagels, or toast themselves and then one child will come and help pack the lunches...after they leave with Dad to go to school, I get coffee and Kashi or any other type fiber/healthy cereal. On the weekends or days off of school is when we have our pancakes, eggs, bacon, etc. the stuff that takes longer although these breakfast sandwiches look good and are fast so they can work well on school days...thanks for the chance to win

    ReplyDelete
  52. As I get older and no more kids at home, I love to sleep in-- 7:30 am. Each day is a different breakfast- cereal/banana, eggs/bacon, French Toast, oatmeal/fruit, cinnamon toast, pancakes. The Jimmy Dean item like the Egg McMufgin are GREAT!!!

  70. I've wondered if the Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwiches were good. Thanks for the recommendation!

    I ALWAYS start with a cup of coffee, then usually make myself something like a piece of toast with peanut butter. But Lee always has what he calls his "concoction"--1 egg (fried in the microwave!), 1 piece of American cheese, and a couple of strips of bacon between 2 waffles. I love his concoction because it gives him plenty of protein to last through long days at school. :)

    I so wish I was an early bird/morning person...but it does not come natural to me. If I can get up on time...and not hit snooze, it makes the morning go so much better...we are not stressed and rushing around. My favorite time is in the car, telling everyone I love them and waving good bye...not matter how crazy a morning it was, I want them to have a great day at school!

    I start with a nice hot cup of coffee. I like to get breakfast started before my kids come down stairs. I have seen the Jimmy Dean breakfast sausage at Costco. But I didn't know if they were any good! Good to know info. I will try it next time I am at Costco. Seems like it just makes things easier. Showers are done at night and clothes are laid out on the bed the night before. I hear ya about doing as much as you can the night before!

  133. I start with a 45-minute workout at my local gym, then come home, where my kids and husband are just starting to wake up. Some days my husband takes the kids to school and other days I drop them off, but after they are safely at school, I have a cup of Great Value (yes, Wal-mart's store brand!) French Vanilla Cappuccino to get my day going. I don't drink 'real' coffee, but this is the most delicious-tasting coffee drink I have ever had.
