Breakfast in Bed (sort of)

I know Mother’s Day has been and gone, but I still think that the weekends should be a time for breakfast in bed. Okay, okay, I know that sounds unrealistic, especially when everyone is running around doing their own thing. But honestly I think we all might be missing something here. In our family we have been trying to slow things down lately. How? By choosing to. We stopped trying to cram everything in on weekends, rushing from here to there to get everything done. We started to stay in on Fridays because we found out we could order a nice dinner to go. And most importantly we started ‘breakfast in bed’ for the whole family. Does anyone really bring me a tray on Saturday morning loaded with my favorite goodies? No, but we do all stay in our p.j’s and hang out, slowing making breakfast and mom still gets her nice big cup of coffee. So now on Sunday night instead of feeling exhausted we feel like we caught a little snippet of family r&r.
