Matt and I both use the Simple Calendar app on our phones to see upcoming events. And we both commented that our calendars are blank and seemed to be malfunctioning.
But instead, I think the calendar is just saying have a good trip!!!
We’ve been waiting for this week for ages! I don’t think anyone is more excited at this point than Matt, who needs a break from his 6-day a week job. He’s so excited he got up at 5:30 to run so he’d feel nice and limber on the 5+ hour car ride. When I woke up at 6:30 I was surprised to find him not in bed!
I made overnight oats for an easy breakfast for both of us (and used up all of our dairy and fruit!)
1/3 cup milk, greek yogurt, oats, chia seeds, pinch salt, half banana, cinnamon plus local granola and Reginald’s Cashew-Nilla on top!
For those of you not yet to freedom, the weekend is almost here!

1.5 days of work left for me before my 3.5 day weekend begins! Have a wonderful time at the beach!!!
Lace @ Real Food Quest says
That is one good looking bowl! I may be inspired to try this overnight oat thing. Cold oats scare me a bit, but it looks too good to not try.

I am so wanting to be at the beach for a few days…that’s all I need, but I really NEED it! Have a safe trip!
Alyssa (pb and oatmeal) says
Have a great time! You guys definitely deserve it!
Matt says
Love the oats. Always been the first meal in the morn. for me. My favorite is Oats, blueberries, crushed walnuts and to top it off… 1/2 cup espresso! That’s my morning boost! lol…
Love the site, great pics!
Hope @ With A Side Of Hope says
So jealous you are going on vacation! 🙂 I hope you have a wonderful time! Enjoy yourself.
Julianna B says
WOW! Have a great vacation!
Amanda @flecksofgreen says
I love “kitchen-sinking” any meal. What I mean by that is throwing in everything but the kitchen sink because you are: 1. getting rid of things 2. Going on Vacation or 3. Find just crumbs in a number bozes or bags of cereal/granola/bread products. I think I probably “kitchen sink” my oats more times than I’m willing to admit lol
Katie @ Peace Love & Oats says
Have a safe drive to the beach!!!!
Angel7 says
Have a safe and relaxing trip, Kath & Matt!

He works 6 days a week and I’m only there 3 so it’s not too bad for me…but next week we’re heading to the beach with our 2 little ones and WE.CAN.NOT.WAIT! Enjoy! : )
