One Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Stay Open to New Experiences

on
In the movie Love Jones , the male lead says, "romance is about the possibility of the thing." I agree with that. However, I think that the concept is more universal. life--truly living--is about the possibility of the thing. For a while, I was sleep walking through life, doing what was required without truly embracing it. Recent events have caused me to re-evaluate that and to embrace life and all of its limitless possibilities.   And romance, is about love. Over the past year I have become committed to falling back in love with my life. New relationships have made that love affair possible. And, I don't take them for granted. Creating space for new relationships and making new friends as a single, working mom, and creating space is not easy. But it is necessary. For that reason, I have committed to making new friendships, keeping the old productive ones, and enjoying them all--in the midst of working, parenting, and adulting .

What I Like For Breakfast

on
Eggs over easy
A typical Saturday breakfast


Every once and a while I'm asked personal questions from readers. One is, "what do you like for breakfast?" I'm not exactly sure why people ask that question. However, it may be that breakfast is the great equalizer.
There are all of these variables that come up with lunch and dinner like time, menu and expense. However, breakfast is something that most people like simple and quick. It's not called "break fast" for nothing. In the morning we are HUNGRY so it is all about getting something we like in our bellies so that we can start our days.

Eggs Over Easy Make Me Happy


My breakfast choices have evolved over the years. I used to be a cereal kind of gal. However, I found that I was hungrier sooner than I'd like after eating cereal. I don't remember where my current breakfast choice originated. However, my favorite breakfast at the moment is "Two eggs over easy, turkey sausage or turkey bacon and toast". Most weekdays, I have only one egg and no meat. However, on the weekends or on vacation, when I have time to enjoy it, I'll have what's pictured below. I might even throw in some coffee on vacation.

Eggs over easy

For some unknown reason, I find myself drawn to coffee when I'm at a diner. At home, I drink tea. (One bag of Earl Grey and One bag of Green Tea to be exact). Sometimes I add some red onions and avocado. Sometimes the toast has butter and honey. Other times it just has butter. Occasionally, the toast has butter and jam. The one constant though are the eggs. Whether one or two they have to be over easy. If they are too hard I don't want them.  They must have salt and pepper and there must be toast.

The top photo shows a weekend breakfast when I try to change it up! It's got a crab scramble and avocado. I also tried to style the photo because I am a blogger! ;-)

Breakfast is so personal though. What's your favorite?!
