Yet woke up to a clean kitchen!!
That’s midnight dedication for you. It’s always worth it to me to stay up late and clean so I can sleep in and wake up to a sparkling kitchen.
Faith’s beautiful flowers!
Staying up till midnight meant waking up to a 9 on the clock!
Oatmeal for all
Great Harvest Cinnamon Raisin oatmeal mix plus Scottish oats, banana, chia seeds, milk/water, crumbled Hungry Bar, butterscotch and sunflower butter
My tea foam did not stay today!! I could hear it snap, crackle, popping away 🙁 No idea why! Maybe the milk is getting old?
It’s a beautiful day!
char @ char on a mission says
Your oatmeal always look so good!!! A clean kitchen is nice to wake up to for sure! Happy Sunday!
Julie H. of Spinach and Sprinkles says
You have some amazing friends, I hope they stuck around to help you clean. Glad you got to sleep in! HAPPY SUNDAY!
Katie @ Talk Less, Say More says
Those are some GORGEOUS flowers!! Oh my, I may need to go get myself some flowers now. 🙂
Have a splendid Sunday!
lynn @ the actor's diet says
i agree – sleeping late to clean is so much better than waking up to messiness…
Health Bee says
Love the beautiful flowers! Have a wonderful Sunday!
Khushboo says
Delicious breakfast – I’m surprised you didn’t crumble some of that amazing cake from last night over it 🙂
Christine @ Oatmeal in my Bowl says
Or it was a hangover that made you froth too close to the surface that ur foam did not hold? ????
I did it to a lady one time when i worked in a coffee shop. She came back asking where her cap foam was. Lol. It really is nice to have a clean kitchen/house after a party. Then you can actually enjoy a quite peaceful morning.
KathEats says
Are you not supposed to froth the top!?
Errign says
It creates more air bubbles than foam and the air bubbles are more likely to pop than normal foam would.
Christine @ Oatmeal in my Bowl says
Ya, what Errign said. 😉 If you froth without building your foam up or froth too high at the surface, then you are liable to create more air bubbles. Thus the dissipating foam. 😀
Anna says
Doesn’t soap residue also prevent foaming? I’m pretty sure it affects foam on beer, and I assume it would be the same for milk.
Meagan says
I prefer to do the same thing with the dishes. Dealing with it then (unless you’re about to fall down tired) is so much easier!!
Christine @ Oatmeal in my Bowl says
Oops. All those ???? Is actually an emoji I tried using from my iphone. Was supposed to be this 😉
Hilliary @ Happily Ever Healthy says
I agree, I would always stay up and clean after a party. Because I knew if I didn’t clean that night I would dread it in the morning!
Krystina (Organically Me) says
I wish I had an exciting reason for staying up late. I watched terrible horror movies and passed out after 2, then woke up at 11 after the cat first woke me up at 7:45. 😛
Liz @ Tip Top Shape says
It definitely is worth the few extra minutes to finish dishes. If I don’t, I feel like I’m already behind when I wake up.
Sana says
🙂 I am glad you got to sleep in, it’s glorious!
Heather @ Better With Veggies says
That’s the same plan we have, although we didn’t do quite as good a job as normal last night (we had a Halloween party). Glad you were able to sleep in so long – I only made it until 8AM. 🙂
Hillary says
My friends and I used to do the same thing in college. Nothing like an hour or so spent drunk cleaning before bed!
Katie @ Peace Love and Oats says
those flowers are so pretty! And I agree that cleaning up the night before is best… yet I fail to follow that most of the time… Haha.

I used to not be able to go to bed with a messy kitchen…..but then I had kids. I have much more energy in the morning so sometimes I just save it. I hate waking up to a mess, but sometimes I just want to crawl into bed.
Angel7 says
I always have to wake up to a clean kitchen and house, even if it means staying up a little late. It is all about “Home Neat Home!” 🙂

Gillian G. @ When Bread Is Broken says
those flowers are SO gorgeous! as was that pumpkin oh layer cake 😉
Maria @ Sinfully Nutritious says
Happy Birthday and House Cooling!
Somehow my kitchen always ends up sparkling more after the party than before. It must be all the help! Don’t you just love kitchen fairies…
Glad you got to sleep in.
Lauren @ What Lauren Likes says
Clean kitchen = best feeling ever! Haha oatmeal looks great 🙂
Kelli H (Made in Sonoma) says
I do the same thing and clean that same night. I hate waking up to a dirty kitchen!
Karen says
I have a frother like yours, and I generally have trouble getting the froth to stay, so if you discover the cause, please share!
Irina says
that is one clean kitchen! So tidy, love it. And those flowers are gorgeous.
Amanda says
I agree about tidying up before going to bed. I hate waking up to a messy kitchen! It stresses me out.
The flowers are so beautiful! Are they dalias? I recently saw some at a local farmer’s market and declared them some of the most beautiful flowers I’ve ever seen. So many colors! 🙂
KathEats says
Yup!
Gina @ Running to the Kitchen says
I’m with you, I can’t go to sleep with a dirty kitchen either. After Thanksgiving 2 years ago when we hosted, it was almost an all night affair b/c I insisted on cleaning and putting everything away before bed!
Amanda- The Nutritionist Reviews says
I love when I stay up and clean to wake up with a clean house. It sucks to wake up and there’s food and drinks everywhere!
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin says
I always leave the cleaning until the morning. And then I totally regret it the next day!
Sarah @ The Strength of Faith says
I need some of your zest for organization and cleaning in my life. I’m working on getting better about being proactive – but it’s a process!
Hope says
Your house looks beautiful! I really need to make use of your organizational tips. I need to do some straightening and organizing around my house. Oatmeal looks yummy as always 🙂
Michelle @ Turning Over a New Leaf says
Haha! I wish I had such midnight dedication. But since our gatherings are so laid back and last pretty late into the evening, it’s not uncommon for me to fall asleep while some guests are still here!
J3nn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) says
Nothing like waking up to a clean home! I wouldn’t be able to sleep with a sink full of dishes, lol.
Fran says
I’d always rather stay up to clean up! It means that you have the pleasant memory of the celebration not the debris!
