National Oatmeal Day


Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal... OH YEAH! 

I'm going to share something about me here, 
I'm a habitual breakfast skipper.
I'm too busy.
I'm brushing hair, changing diapers, 
making breakfast for other folks
signing forms, 
refereeing,
feeding babies, 
and making sure the pups are taken care of...
with all that and more 
breakfast for me is the last thing on my mind. 

I know, I know it's terrible to skip breakfast
and I do try to get it in, but alas... Chaos trumps food.

So, imagine how happy I was to actually get to take a few moments 
to enjoy a nice hot, filling, and delicious breakfast! 

What made me happier was my daughter joining in 
the celebration by having a bowl of oatmeal with me, 
It was a sweet moment with my precious daughter 
that while fleeting, very memorable.

I'm looking forward to more of those throughout this 365 day excursion. 
More sweet moments, more simple memories, more quiet and calm, more conversations.
A lot more. 

Okay, 
so tomorrow is
National Candy Corn Day
:-/
Guess who's not at all excited about this. 
Not. at. all.

    I would be pretty excited for National Candy Corn day, too! LOL. I love it, but I never buy it because I am the only one in the house that likes it and I don't want to end up eating the entire bag by myself.

    I'm a breakfast skipper too. However, I love breakfast for other meals, so I do get my oatmeal fix in. :)

    I had a post I was going to write up yesterday for this and I got too busy to do it. Today is Candy Corn Day so I might write something on that...

    I often skip breakfast also but when I don't.. oatmeal is great when made the right way! Oh and very healthy.

    I think every day should be National Oatmeal Day! And only because I recently discovered these chocolate covered coconut flakes that are to die for on hot oatmeal. YUM!

    I am a big fan of oatmeal, I put it in a lot of different things. Make your breakfasts ahead, that is what I have to do!

    I wish I liked oatmeal :( The only oatmeal I like is oatmeal cookies. But I know steel cut oats are so good for you, so I keep trying them in various ways hoping one day that I'll like them :)

    I eat a lot of oatmeal. It is one of the grains that don't cause me to have any issues.

    I love oatmeal. I love steel cut oatmeal and you can make a big batch in a slow cooker and but it away in separate containers and have enough ahead for a few days. Just pop it in the microwave.

    I know I'm a day late but I think I'll make an oatmeal smoothie tomorrow to celebrate :)

    I haven't had oatmeal in many years. I had no idea it was a national day. Enjoy some for both of us!

    I'm still amazed at how there is a day for everything. We love oatmeal at our house and eat it at least twice a week usually for breakfast.

    I've never been an oatmeal fan. However, it is really cool that you can customize it so many different ways.

    There really is a day for everything! I love to dress up my oatmeal with vanilla, brown sugar and cinnamon. I like it with apples too, but my son doesn't like it.

    I love oatmeal. It's so easy and inexpensive and there are so many ways you can change it up with toppings.

    I love oatmeal and have been meaning to add it into my diet lately. I just had a cup of it the other day.

    We love oatmeal and have it for breakfast pretty regularly. My daughter has found some gluten free packages she enjoys!
