This post is filled with yummy pastries, cute kids,
and a chance for a $100 gift card to Panera.
Triple threat. Let’s do this.
Life can get busy, exhausting, overwhelming and you can sometimes
find yourself going through the motions of your to do’s and get caught up in
what you feel is expected of you! But sometimes it’s important to break that
cycle of crazy and start your day fresh! And if needed, start fresh again at lunch!!
And maybe even during the kids nap time…lol.
But I feel like the mornings, especially Saturday morning, is a special time you
can make the choice to take a step back and create “moments” with your family.
Seeing the real cherries in the pastry made my toddlers squeal with joy.
It’s the little things right? And it helps if the little things are sweet and tasty too.
I always feel a little more ready for the day when we
start it joyfully, with something yummy and all together.
Making moments together can help you start your day fresh!
At Panera, all the bread and baked goods start fresh!
They are baked each morning by a real skilled baker, in every bakery cafe.
And it tastes like it! Their pastries are almost too pretty to eat… almost.
I love how they have a baker
backstory video on youtube…
It’s cool to see how committed they are to putting fresh food out there!
Their breakfast sandwiches start with freshly baked bread and a freshly cracked egg!
This morning I learned about Panera’s passion for baking
I entered to win some sweet prizes and I have my fingers crossed to win!
Here’s how you can play too!! Visit their site, complete 3 actions
and receive a badge and be entered to win a prize.
They have some good ones too like a KitchenAid Professional Stand Mixer
or Trip for two to New York City!
I’m a morning person when freshly baked pastries,
cafe mochas, and giggles are involved.

November 27, 2013 at 6:23 amI wake up before the rest of my family on purpose, so that I can have a bit of quiet time to myself each day. I get my iced coffee in hand, catch up on some blogs, and enjoy a relaxed start to the day! That’s my favorite way to get things rolling!

November 27, 2013 at 10:29 amI love to begin my day with reading and eating something healthy, such as yogurt and 100% whole wheat toast with natural peanut butter. I don’t drink coffee, so I often have heated apple cider when the days are chilly.
