Vegan Pumpkin Baked Oatmeal
I don’t know how he does it, but my husband gets out of bed the first time his alarm goes off. It’s some sort of phenomenon – I just can’t comprehend it! Me on the other hand, I hit the snooze more than I care to share. Which is annoying because I am actually an early bird. I love getting up early and conquering the day right away. It’s just the getting out of bed part that’s a struggle!
My husband recently woke our son up for school in good ‘ole Dad fashion. He threw the covers back and tickled him! I heard our son fussing about it so I told him he’s not the only one who has to deal with a rude wake-up call. I assured him that he does it to me, too! To which my husband said, “No, this is how I get Mom out of bed!” He grabbed our son’s ankles, whipped them over the side of the bed, and gave him a fast tow right out of bed!
Morning’s are a beautiful thing! I love the sunrise, the cool morning air, the bird’s singing, a quiet neighborhood and roads, empty stores, it’s great! My productivity is at it’s highest early in the morning. It helps to start off the day right, though… with these Vegan Pumpkin Oatmeal Squares for breakfast!
