Bears, we’re not in Florida anymore.
It might look like it’s 80 degrees – and it does smell like spring. But it’s still close to freezing here!
I picked up a taste of the tropics at Whole Foods last night – local parrot tulips
I missed oats! Particularly cottage cheese oats.
Made with a few strawberries as well to remind me of Florida
The Mix
- 1/3 cup oats, milk, water
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- Half banana
- Pinch salt
- 3 strawberries, stirred in at end
- 1/3 cup cottage cheese, stirred in at end
- Hemp Plus Granola
- Sunflower butter
- GH Jam
I forgot how good my coffee is!
Time to play catch up!
There is nothing like being home!! Enjoy the beautiful day!
I love getting fresh flowers! I would do it every Sunday if I could afford it 🙂
It is freezing cold here, too. It was a shock this morning to go outside!! I can tell spring is almost here, though!!
I have yet to work up the courage to try cottage cheese… maybe I can get a sample at TJs! Something about it scares me. Odd, I know… it looks delicious though! 🙂
The tulips are beautiful!
I love to travel, but it’s so nice to get back home when all is said and done. Welcome home. 🙂

What a beautiful morning in your world. The flowers are divine – definitely spring-y! Enjoy your day at home.
That sunshine and pretty tulips would bring me to the tropics too! Wow, such a pretty day. Yummy mix too. I love all the toppings, especially the crunchy granola.
I woke up to it being totally freezing in DC today too! Not cool!
love the bowl! i’m coming home tomorrow! can’t wait! i miss norther-ish virginia!
Same here! Beautiful sun, FREEZING temperatures.
Looks like the trip was great and glad you made it home safely!
The morning after a trip is always great. You wake up in your own bed and make exactly what you want for breakfast and relax with your coffee! As always, I love your polka dot bowl. I made strawberry oats today too, but I just sliced them on top. Yours look better stirred in! I’ll try that next time.
That bowl is absolutely adorable! I love coming home from vacation to my favorite things, at least its sunny there!
Tulips are my favorite flower ever! Those in your picture are so beautiful! I love that vibrant orange!
It does look all warm and springy in your photos. Sorry its chilly!
There’s nothing like bringing the vacation to you with some pretty flowers! Hopefully we’ll warm up again this weekend!
I know, this weather is SUCH a tease! It looks so gorgeous and sunny out but the temps are still wintery. I am getting so antsy for sunshine AND warmth!
We’re having similar weather in Chicago: really sunny but still cold. At least the sun is out!
It feels like 9 degrees here. So cold!
your breakfast table sure looks nice ‘n spring-y! 🙂

GORGEOUS photography this morning Kath! Puts me in a super springy mood! 🙂
Beautiful flowers! I love cottage cheese oats, I had some this morning.
that first picture is just gorgeous! I love the way the light looks in the picture.
those oats look yum!
It’s freezing here too and windy! I love parrot tulips! They are just so pretty and definitely say spring time. Have a great day Kath!
Its always nice to come home to familiar things you forgot you missed 🙂
At least you guys have some sunshine! After living in Oregon for 7 months, I think I forget what sun looks like. On the rare occasion when it comes out, my eyes burn.
coming home feels just as good as going away!

Its always good to be home to your own oats and coffee! You always make them look so good!
i imagine the weather takes some adjusting, but it must feel good to be home!
Gorgeous tulips!!! I love that firey orange color!!
i love how all the photos have such wonderful light 🙂
Still close to freezing here in the Midwest too … I’m SO ready for Spring!
Enjoy being home 😉
We’re at -15 today so yep, it’s still really cold here! Buying fresh flowers always helps! 🙂
Looks like a beautiful day! I just started adding cottage cheese to my oats, LOVE it.
I am always so excited to get back to my homemade breakfasts when I get back from travelling. Have a great day!
The day after vacation is so stressful…hope it all goes smoothly!
Ahhh those flowers are be-a-utiful!!
Those tulips are absolutely gorgeous. There is nothing quite like fresh flowers to brighten up the day!
I’m in love with that bowl. It makes me hate my dishes. I’m pretty sure I need new ones now. Pleasantries!
Yep, we have sun, but FREEZING temps here too! Such a tease!
Looks like a pretty day though! 😀 Enjoy!
At least you have sun!
Don’t you love when weather tricks you like that? When it looks warm and sunny outside, only to discover it’s still freezing? haha 😉
At least it’s sunny out! Your photos are so colorful, so springtime.
Cheers!
I love the feeling of coming back home and getting back to what you know and love – like the routine and food! 🙂 Love love those flowers.
Happy Thursday Kath!
Those parrot tulips are BEAUTIFUL! I can’t wait for spring! Makes me so happy!
Tulips are my favorite flower by far — so bright and cheery and they remind me of Spring/Summer which I so desperately want right now.
I love tulips! They definitely feel like springtime!
Those tulips are beautiful!!
Ohh such gorgeous flowers!! I’m more interested in the food pics though – your oatmeal looks especially appetizing this morning! Maybe it’s because I had cereal this morning instead of my usual bowl of oats? 🙂
Hope you get some warmth soon!
Love your bowl! catch-up is my favorite. 🙂 enjoy your day!
lovin’ those polka dots and the swirled in nut butter!!
I almost bought that exact same bowl in Pier 1 last week!
mmmm your oat bowls always look so delicious, Kath 🙂
The picture of your tulips is SOOOOOOOOO pretty!! Such vibrant color 🙂
So going to have to try cottage cheese in oats!
LOVE the tulips. So pretty.
I recently read that having fresh cut, bright flowers in your home can immediately boost your mood and cause positive thinking throughout the day 🙂 I bet that’s true!
YUM…you’re making my mouth water over here! good thing it’s breakfast time. 🙂
It’s gorgeous in the 70s here today! 😀
I’ve loved tulips ever since I was 3 and they were the pattern on my favourite dress. That bunch is beautiful! 🙂
Those flowers are gorgeous~~~! These are from WH, but do you have a huge garden at home? 🙂 Just askin’ b/c you always have the prettiest flowers.
But hey, you’re still in America, and that’s something I’d give anything for right now!
