Us Working Moms Love Our Weekend Breakfasts

Delicious breakfasts...
One of my favorites things about weekends is the ability to enjoy a leisurely breakfast.  As a working mom of three, there are so many sacrifices that I make for my kids. Some of the sacrifices have happened organically and some have happened unconsciously. I just look back over the things that have changes since I've become a mom and realize that this. 

Life. Is. Different.

Still, one thing that has remained the same is the joy I get from enjoying my weekend breakfast.  It is one of life's greatest pleasures and I enjoy it. Now, I make the kids' breakfast first. So that I ca enjoy mine. Sometimes, mine is interrupted in order to fill a glass of a small person, give someone more sausage or to replenish a cereal bowl. Still, I get time to enjoy my weekend breakfast. And the laughs of my children that provide the soundtrack to my weekend mornings make the meals that much sweeter...
