Waking up in the morning on a weekend, wearing my PJs and cuddling up in my covers on my mattress and never wanting to leave is my favourite part of getting up. It’s that short time in the morning when I am just waiting for the day to start.
My mornings mostly always start with little pokes in the back and a little voice telling me that it is “Morning time” even when I pretend that I am still sleeping. That is what I love about a weekend. What makes it extra special is breakfast in bed! Who doesn’t love breakfast in bed?
Since I don’t personally have someone there making it for me, me and my little man head to the kitchen for some teamwork in creating our special breakfast. Not only does it make cooking breakfast a lot more fun, it always brings us two together for some family bonding. It’s a messy job but someone has to do it. Here is my breakfast-in-bed checklist and essentials to make it ultra amazing.
Ultra Amazing Breakfast In Bed Checklist
1. Fluffy Blanket
A blanket that is fluffy is always going to be number one. The goal is to be relaxed and what is more relaxing than a cloud holding on to you? Add a cute bed frame for support, it has to hold up your pillows and hold your back. You also cannot forget a cozy mattress that is not too hard and not too soft on top of that… then, my friend, you have arrived on the comfy train.
2. Pyjamas
You can’t have breakfast in bed without pyjamas. I love pyjamas, I would wear them all day if I could and now thinking about it, I most likely have like a billion times. I’ve been told that I like to make my son’s pyjamas like when he wears blue, I wear blue. I never really notice until someone points it out. What can I say, we have similar tastes. I am a lover of shorts so I tend to wear them the most, however, I have graduated to silk pyjama pants on those colder nights.
3. Pancakes, Bacon and Fruit
My mouth literally drooled just thinking about it. To me, this is a classic essential breakfast, A simple fluffy buttermilk pancake next to some crispy bacon… yummy! It is only natural that I have bacon with my breakfast, as a proud Canadian, I do admit I wish I had this type of breakfast all the time. Bacon, bacon, bacon! Of course to add a healthy balance to the meal I had to have some fruit on the side along with some fruit juice.
4. Food Tray
Lastly, I am gotten into the love of having a food tray. Not only does it keep the food from going everywhere and with the little one, but it also tends to happen even when you think it wouldn’t. I recently gave the one in the picture a facelift. I really wanted a food tray that was something I personally made and created. I would go on and on about that, however, you will have to see that post for yourself when it’s ready.
Final Thoughts
Overall, my little man and I enjoyed our breakfast in bed. I even accidentally sprayed whipped cream on him so I guess not only the little ones make a mess. What are your breakfast-in-bed essentials and what you would put on your breakfast-in-bed checklist? Is it bacon, being with a loved one, or just a simple coffee with a donut? Whatever it is for you!
