Morning lovin' and it's not what you think

It's only Wednesday night here, but I need to get a jump start on tomorrow if I'm ever going to be able to accomplish all of the things I need to before Emily and I leave for Chi-town.

Therefore, here is my post for Love Thursday, and it's all about what I love first thing in the morning.

Breakfast.

I love breakfast. I do think that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and that a cup of coffee doesn't count. I don't eat a lot for breakfast during the week -- usually two turkey sausage links microwaved for 130 seconds -- oh, and a cup of coffee. But on the weekends, there's nothing I like better than a big 'ol breakfast. Preferably accompanied by a mimosa or a spicy bloody mary. I love me some eggs, bacon, waffles, pancakes, bagels and lox, oatmeal, grits, toast with lots of butter, sausages... Not all at once unless it's brunch in Vegas, but I basically have never met a breakfast food that I didn't love.

And now that I'm a mom, I make breakfast for my kids every morning. I fix them something to eat as soon as we get up.

Many times it's scrambled eggs with cheese.

Sometimes it's fruit.

Or cereal.

It's never fancy or elaborate, but I make it with love and they eat it sitting at the kitchen table.

It sets the tone for our day and gets things off to a good start.
