Really, most Sunday mornings fit this routine, so I'm a little bummed my husband has to start working Sundays again in a couple weeks.

Out to breakfast with my fellas, walk around a nearby park for a little bit, then back home for some snuggle time on the couch during cartoons while I read a good book. I love not having to be anywhere at any particular time.

@mrbee: in my ideal world, yes!!! :). Quiche is super easy to make so it's not that fancy, but I sure feel fancy eating it!

I don't get why you would want dirty newspaper prints on your fingertips in your ideal world lol!

@mrbee: that is what premade, store bought crust is for.

Haha that's awesome that you were a paperboy! I used to want to be one! Papergirl I mean.

@mrbee: Oooh, that's a toughy, because I used to hate ALL pastries after working in a bakery for 2 years (the first time I'd ever been to one, too, so I was ruined right away).

But now I love these raspberry and cream cheese filled crispies (we call them elephant ears, but these are folded over and filled). Awful for you, but so darn good. After that, any caramel apple pastry or custard filled and chocolate covered doughnuts are close seconds.

Does it count if I say "D gets up with the baby" instead of "sleeping in"?

My current ideal morning is him taking first shift, starting the coffee and a pan of grit and waking me when it's all ready, and then having breakfast with my husband and a happy toddler.

5 years ago my ideal morning involved black and blue crepes from this great place in Philly. D and I would walk up there, have brunch and then pop into a local pet store.

I'd wake up to a perfectly clean and orderly house! (This alone would be ideal, but I have an active imagination, so let's continue, shall we? ) My husband would have already made the coffee (he's superb at it!), so I would pour some in a lidded cup, grab my keys and bag and we'd all get into the car (someone else handled waking up LO and dressing him), and we'd drive to the beach where the local park would be open just for us. We all watch sunrise on the beach, see a few dolphins frolicking in the surf, then we go for a long walk down the beach, followed by fresh chocolate croissants, fruit, and cappuccinos.

I need to make this morning happen!

My perfect morning is one during the week, where I can let my son wake up naturally to get him off to begin his day.

My absolute ideal would be waking up to a clean house, going for a morning swim or surf session and then out to breakfast with DH and LO. Yesterday was pretty close to perfect in a real world sense. It was impromptu, which I love to be when my energy is high. I told DH since he can sleep in, he needs to clean the house while I am out with LO. Then I grabbed take out and took her on a long beautiful drive to an awesome playground she loved. I watched her chase ducks, make friends and test new physical skills. Being up and outdoors with the early risers is quite fun for me. I am usually stuck in the house in the routine.

@mrbee: Feast your eyes (and your belly) on the sugary goodness. Hehe. Just imagine it folded over and filled with fruit. *leaves work early to indulge*

Snuggling with DH and LO in bed, then having something really yummy for breakfast with nowhere to go after!

I would sweat it out at the gym, then meet DH at a cute brunch spot where we can eat, hang out, people watch. Then we would take a nice stroll at the farmer's market.

my perfect morning involves a latte, brunch with E (waffles are my indulgence), a good book and not feeling sick!

Stop for tea adn then walk through the farmer's market, followed by brunch at my favorite place!

@Mae: i miss weekend mornings in bed with DH! My favorite

@mrbee: I don't make crusts for my quiches! We make quiches fairly often, and keep it in the fridge to eat for breakfast throughout the week.

A simple breakfast at a cafe close by (like poached eggs with baguette slices), a great cup of coffee, a walk along the water with DH, and our day fully planned but not overly busy.
