Breakfast, what a good idea!

I kind of quit making breakfast, well not kind of, I really quit making breakfast a long time ago because cereal is quick, easy, everyone likes it and most importantly, the mess is so minimal. Well it seems like on a morning where I'm still trying to get ready I would just give Tyce a bowl of cereal and finish getting ready before Jacey woke up. We dont have a dishwasher in this house and the thoughts of destroying the kitchen first thing in the morning and creating a whole sink full of dirty dishes just did not sound like a good idea. Anyhow, its seems like our mornings have just started in tantrums and whining and we are all so grouchy, soooooooo, I decided to start making breakfast. It was a miracle! This might have been so obvious for some but I started making oatmeal, french toast, waffles, pancakes, scrambled eggs and toast, etc. and it absolutely turned our mornings around. Turned our whole day around really. I now get Jacey up to eat with us instead of waiting til she crys to get her up, ha! Me, Tyce and Jacey all sit down together, say a prayer and eat a warm breakfast together and it seems to set the tone for the rest of the day. Everyone is happier and nicer and it seems to continue throughout the day for the most part. More dishes for sure, but so far, the trade off has been very much worth it. Breakfast! Who knew, right? :)
