Breakfast Time

I love this picture and would like to start making breakfast for my family in the morning.  At this point they are all old enough to grab something themselves.  But they choose to eat nothing.  Even myself, I get to work starving because all I have had was my morning coffee.

 Habit is an amazing thing.  I got into the habit of making coffee, feeding the dog, then sitting at the computer until it is time to leave for work a few years ago.  I was taking a 5 week online class.  The school was in California so because of the time change all my work had to be done early in the morning.  5 weeks was all it took and so many years later I can't shake the habit.  So I am going to try taking some "baby steps" as our beloved Flylady would say.  Prepping the night before will be the first start.  Setting the breakfast table, laying out the food that can be out.  Making sure the the dishwasher is empty so we can have a quick clean up time.

 I received a $300.00 gift card the other day.  I am torn between purchasing a new camera (my old cannon has been broken for years) or a bunch of things from the Vermont Country Store.  I had the waffle maker/griddle pan above.  I used it all the time until the handles broke off. I also love the coffee pot above.  My mother always made her coffee it one and I like it better than a coffee maker.  Need to weigh all my options.  Also love the syrup container.
