My kids and I wake up very early every morning, never getting to spend more than an hour together before I have to work and they have to go to daycare. We are always rushing out the door also so we don't get to sit down and eat breakfast together.
I hated it, so we started our own tradition.
Every morning we stop at Starbuck's. I get a grande brewed coffee because it is only 10 calories and I get Adrian and Shelby each a chonga bagel (toasted with cream cheese!) and a horizon organic chocolate milk. Shelby isn't fond of the chocolate milk but she drinks it everytime.
As soon as we leave the drive-thru I pull the car over and spread the cream cheese on their bagels as they argue about which bagel is theirs and put the straws in the chocolate milks. We sit in the car for a few minutes munching and talking about the plans for the day, then off we go.
We get a extra couples minutes together every morning with this ritual. We have been doing it for over a year now, it only costs me $6.00 a day and it is worth every penny.
About Me
- AsHLeY micHeLLe.
- Marysville, Washington
- I am a hard working person. I find it hard to let loose sometimes, I guess that was just the way I was raised. I like to get things done, early if possible. You will see a ton of TO-DO lists surrounding me all time. I love my family. My son is 4, his name is Adrian and he is the definition of a mamas boy. My daughter is 3, her name is Shelby and she is THE princess. My children were both blessed with the best features from me and their dad. Speaking of their dad, he is my best friend and my soul mate. We have our differences but we always work through them, nothing could tear us apart. My family will come before anything else in this world.
