I don’t have to be at school until 7:45 this morning (in-service day). That is about 45 minutes later than my normal morning starts, but for some reason – I woke up at my normal 5am and did my routine (workout, shower, etc) exactly the same as any other day.
The wonderful result of my delayed morning – I have been sitting at my kitchen table slowly enjoying my coffee, oatmeal and blog reading. Happy Friday to me.
- 1/3 cup steel cut oats
- 2/3 cup water
- 1/3 cup almond milk
- Dollop of strawberry jam
- Dollop of crunchy peanut butter
- Cinnamon
- Mini chocolate chips
There isn’t a much better way to enjoy the morning in my opinion…
What’s your favorite way to start the day?
I have always been one to ease into my morning. I love having time to relax and enjoy my breakfast!
I looove starting the day with exercise–though you wouldn’t know that by the way that I NEVER do this haha–and then coming home energized to biggggg breakfast.
Yours looks divine.
I start with yoga
sometimes i wish i had a normal job that i could get to at 8 or 9 beacuse then i could get SO MUCH done in the morning, but today when i’m getting off work at 1:30 and have worked 8 hours, I’ll be greatful for the way my morning starts. I can’t WAIT until I am a stay at home mom and can actually make breakfast and enjoy it. Until then….my special k and soy milk will have to do.
I love to start my mornings off with a nice run then a big cup of tea and a nice hot shower! Woohoo for the shorter work day especially on a friday!
ahhhh i love when i have extra time in the mornings – it doesn’t happen often so i need to take advantage
i think my fave mornings are the lazy weekend ones – sleep in, grab a newspaper & coffee, read newspaper & sip coffee & eat breakfast. hang out…blog reading in bed. yeah, i am like 70 years old
Ah, I love slow mornings… one of my pet peeves is having to rush through my meals, especially breakfast bc it’s my fav meal of the day! I’m glad you had a lovely morning dear, and an equally fab bowl of oats, yum!!! Happy Friday!!

I love leisurely mornings. I will wake up earlier to have 25 minutes to eat breakfast and read the paper/blogs!
I love eating my lovely yummy breakfast while reading blogs. Of course, I like to jump start it with some workout, but now I don’t have time for that. or the weather
My favorite way to start the day is with yoga, coffee and the TODAY show… but umm, that never happens!
One of the benefits of working nights is that most mornings are easy going for me. I do totally miss a leisurely dinner though which I rarely if ever get! Your oats look beautiful as always. Hope you have a fun weekend planned!
I LOVE my mornings. Whether I have to be at work, school, or I go to the gym early, I always make a 45 minute window for my coffee and breakfast. (Usually consisting of oatmeal and blogging as well.) Usually I eat at home, but if I’m going straight somewhere from the gym, I love eating oats and reading the paper at a local cafe or Starbucks.
Yay for inservice! My mama is a secretary, and she didn’t have to go to school today, so we got to hang out instead.
I wake up an hour before I have to leave for work, then I get up, get ready for work, and then I have a nice bowl of oatmeal or cereal while reading blogs before work! I also fix my dog’s breakfast and spend a little time with him. My work is only about 5 minutes from my house, so I don’t have to wake up super early, thankfully.
mm those oats look SO SO good
i love just waking up, reading blogs and sipping some coffee.
That IS my favorite way to start the day! And i’ve been doing it all morning- enjoyed a bowl of oatmeal while blog-reading and drinking a cup of “cocoa coffee”…..perfection.
Love that bowl of oats. Definitely re-making it asap
