I hate breakfast time, that horrible morning rush. It's packing snack, packing lunch and packing backpacks. It's pulling off covers, pushing in showers and pleading with people. It's one breakfast, two breakfast, three breakfast, then four.
My breakfast is eggs, microwaved. And I eat them standing up. I'm so glamorous, I know.
Yes, I may hate that time between 7:30 and 8:30am, but I love knowing that I giving them a great start to their day.
See this little graph, it states that 89% of moms want their kids to eat breakfast, but of that 40% don't have breakfast daily. That families spend only 17 minutes preparing and eating breakfast each day.
17 minutes... for me, it's worth adding breakfast to that morning rush.
I get to see Henry practicing his Chinese flash cards. I get to hear Wyatt singing to Edy. I get to talk to them about gym today. I get to cheer about a puppet show at preschool.
Even if I hate that rush of breakfast time, I get to give them the best start to their day.
And that starts my day off pretty nicely too.

I find it interesting that 11% of moms don't want their kids to have breakfast... have they not heard about the most important meal of the day??
Breakfast is certainly more rushed at our house since Eli started morning preschool, but I would never give it up! Not only does it startmhis day right, but it gives me a bright start, too. It's the most important meal for more than one reason!
17 minutes? that's it?
i dread the days that breakfast is rushed. i love our pj'd super slow non stop talk fests in the morning.
gah. i don't want to grow up!!
I am the worst about breakfast. I fed it to my kids, but I rarely ate it or eat it myself. I like breakfast foods, but I eat them for other meals. I'm naughty.
Yes! I, too, believe in the power of breakfast, and I, too, eat standing up. *Sigh*
I can't believe you told people about your microwaved eggs!!!! :) Remember Dad's hot chocolate and vitamin? So sweet.
I love breakfast foods- but yea, not enough time in the mornings. My kids do always eat breakfast though- I am usually just making lunches and other stuff while they are eating.
Neither of my kids has ever been much of a breakfast eater. On weekends, when I can make breakfast at 11 am, I enjoy it. One of my favorites is french toast casserole.
