Today we are talking sunshine, breakfast, a giveaway and camping! Doesn’t it all sound like a good combo? A few weeks ago we decided to go camping with the boys and take our kayak. The boys were ecstatic and my oldest started getting his gear ready since he often goes camping with his dad. In true form, I started making all sorts of checklists for our little adventure amongst the crickets and trees. I planned what we would eat and what we would wear and my husband took care of all the activities. Needless to say, the morning of was beyond hectic. I knew that it would be, so the night before I told the boys that we would rely on Jimmy for breakfast. You know Jimmy, right? Well Jimmy Dean had more breakfast options than Mom so the boys were excited to choose. They chose the Croissant Sausage, Egg and Cheese breakfast sandwich. It was the first time we had these but I knew the boys would like them. I mean… a buttery croissant, sausage, egg and cheese… that’s a no-brainer for kids (and adults)! I unpacked them and I love how they are already individually wrapped and you can break off the ones that you need and freeze the rest. You can put them in the microwave for under a minute (if refrigerated) but I chose to put them in the oven for 20 minutes, so that we could load the car while they cooked. And they looked so good when they were done! I thought I would snap a few pics… But the boys had another idea… Now that’s a bite! The boys were getting their fuel for the long day ahead. All the boys. There is my sandwich waiting for me. I am always the last to eat. Does that also happen to you? Breakfast was done and the only thing left to do was clean the dishes. Well, kind of. There were about 5 crumbs left on each plate. Really, it was nice to concentrate on the activities of the day and not have to worry about cleaning up pots and pans before leaving the house. Jimmy Dean made it super convenient to have a full breakfast and get out of the house in time to enjoy this…

My favorite part of every day & what sets the tempo for the rest of my day is waking up before anyone else in my household; and even before the sun rises! I drink a nice hot cup of coffee while tuning into my spiritual side giving thanks for all that I am grateful for in my life. Taking the time to do this sets the pace for me & keeps me grounded no matter how hectic the day may become.

Bonnie Jean Fulcher says
The Jimmy Dean Sandwiches for Breakfast look good. I have seen them on TV. But my stomach cannot handle much in the morning. My favorite way to start the day is with a cup of hot tea and reading my Bible and a devotional book. Praying for the day. Then getting things ready for everyone else. A slow pace for me, then the rest of the family kind of blasts off so those sandwiches would be good. A sunshiny day is a great start too.
Natalie says

We are **not** morning people, but I find that our day goes much better with a hot breakfast with proteins such as eggs, sausage, etc… as opposed to sugary stuff like cold cereal. Also, my kids are happiest when we eat “together” at the table.. but sometimes that’s a challenge in the morning! We strive to do this at least 2 times during the weekdays and Every Sunday!
