Easy like Monday morning.

Posted on | February 22, 2012 | 40 Comments

i have never been a big breakfast eater. i love breakfast foods like eggs and bacon and all that (duh, yum) but never really eat them, save for the occasional breakfast outing. back in the day when my friends and i would need a big breakfast on sunday morning (ya feel me) we’d hit up a place called the brown bag cafe that served up insane portions of breakfast. but these days, i make H her breakfast and settle for coffee. every once in while Scot and i will get a craving for such things and this monday, a day he had off, was one of those days.

monday morning was the kind of morning i used to daydream about when i thought of being a grown up. the smell of bacon and eggs coming from the kitchen, the sound of cartoons, hot cups of coffee and a tiny human streaking through the house in just underwear.

most times, being an adult isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. but sometimes, it really really is.

    I love those mornings, where you feel like you just don’t have to be anywhere else.

    I love the peacefulness of a cozy kitchen.  Plus that bacon is the most perfect bacon I’ve ever seen!

    I love mornings where I wake up and my boyfriend already has something frying in the cast iron skillet downstairs. I feel like we’re always on the go in the morning, and sometimes a slowed down breakfast is just what you need.

    So adorable. I love those mornings where you make a big breakfast and then have a second or third cup of coffee. Perfection.

    As I’ve just finished a delicious omelette that my husband whipped up I can totally relate to this post. In my imagined version he had great time management skills. This one doesn’t; why does he always wait for the omelette to cook completely before remembering the toast? I was too tired and pregnant to consider jumping in to help.
