Morning! I was up before the sunrise, which isn’t saying much because since when does the sun not rise before 7!? Tears for mid-summer mornings.
I’m actually headed to the new house today to meet with a painter and security system guru. We move on Sunday/Monday and our house is now knickknack free! All décor is packed.
I made a simple bowl of yogurt topped with oats, banana, blueberries, Cville Cluster granola, chia seeds and sunflower butter.
Lipton tea to be like mom!
Adios!
Allie@LiveLaughEat says
Can’t believe you’re moving so sooooon!! I have an inkling the sun will never rise today…rise above the clouds, that is.
Molly @ RDexposed says
I hate having to turn lights on when I wake up. I’d prefer the sun to do the work.
Brittany @ Itty Bits of Balance says
Good luck with the new house stuff today, Kath 🙂
Khushboo says
I love waking up to natural sunlight- it instantly puts a smile on my face!
katie @KatieDid says
I’m gonna miss those juicy bluebs! I just can’t get enough of them lately. Good luck with the house stuff, so close!
Dina says
Just found your blog and I’m loving it! You’re story and pictures are so inspiring! I love all the pics of oatmeal- I’m a oatmeal fanatic too : )
KathEats says
Thank you and welcome!!
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says
I’m with you on the dark mornings … it makes me feel like I’m getting up WAAYYY too early now for my morning workouts. I miss summer!! Good luck with the painter and security guy today!!
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
That’s a fast move!! I bet you have a billion bowls to pack. 🙂
Pam says
I love your blog and I ordered some of your granola from Open Sky and let me tell you how in love I am with the Cville Cluster Granola. Thank you so much for the awesome product! I’m sad already knowing it will be gone soon.
Good luck with the move!
KathEats says
So glad!!
Rebekah @ Medicine, Munchies and Movement says
I’m so sad that the hours of daylight are dwindling. On the flip side I’m definitely excited for Thanksgiving and using Autumn produce!
Katie @ Peace Love and Oats says
My mom drinks Lipton tea too!
A Teenage Gourmet (Sami) says
I had to make a future resume for my COMM 1800 class at UVa, and I pretended to work at your Great Harvest for two years. 🙂
KathEats says
Hahah – love it!!
Anna says
Mmm your tea looks like it’s the perfect strength with the perfect tea-to-milk ratio. These things are important.
Cait's Plate says
I was torn between yogurt and oats in a jar this morning…but I most definitely had chia seeds, granola and sunflower butter…think someone has influenced my eating a little bit!? Haha 🙂
Gina @ running to the kitchen says
I’m not loving the darker mornings either although it does beat the dark by 5pm that’s right around the corner 🙁
Aine @ Something to Chew Over says
Hope all goes well with the new house! So exciting 🙂
Lauren @ What Lauren Likes says
Yum! Simple is usually the tastiest! Great breakie 🙂
Averie @ Love Veggies and Yoga says
The breakfast pics are gorgeous!
6829-2blog = lovely! The clarity of the blueberries & the vibrancy of it…love it.
And knickknack free is pretty amazing. Great feeling when that’s all packed, isnt it!
Good luck today!
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
I know you guys must be so excited! Have fun today!
Giulia @ Tutupa's Lab says
wow, I must say it, the first picture is absolutely STUNNING!!
Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg says
Can’t believe you’re moving again! Good luck at the new house!
Annette @ EnjoyYourHealthyLife says
WHOA you’re moving SO soon! COngrats and good luck.I <3 chia seeds in the morning-so delish!!
Hilliary @ Happily Ever Healthy says
Good luck with the new house stuff!!
Meredith @ Food, Shoes, and Booze says
I have such a hard time waking up when the sun isn’t out… it was dark/rainy at 8:15 this morning when I finally dragged my booty out of bed. Good luck with the move 🙂
Meaghan O'Connor (My Spoonful of Inspiration) says
Your breakfast is always so inspiring looking! 🙂
Jaime says
Where can I buy Chia seeds? I have looked at a couple of grocery stores and maybe I am looking in the wrong aisles but I can’t find them!
KathEats says
Whole Foods spices section
Or chiaseedsdirect.com – free shipping and best price per pound
allpointswhole says
Oh how I miss my chia seeds! I need to get to the store and get more! yum!!
Mom says
I just drank Lipton Tea! But I can’t tell you how much…
Margo @ Peanut Butter Trees says
Beautiful bowl, good luck with the house stuff today!
Sarah R says
Good luck with the house stuff. I think you’re smart to hire a painter–I wish we could have done that. Any word on when the granola from Open Sky should be arriving?
KathEats says
Any day – I’m sorry for the delay!
Sarah R says
No apologies! I just got a shipment confirmation this afternoon–can’t wait!
KathEats says
Oh good!!
Lyn says
I really miss the old Kath Eats. These days your blog is lacking substance, stories, thoughts, and depth. It’s like your blog is on auto, and the same three posts come out every day. This used to be the first blog I checked and now it’s the last out of boredom. But reluctantly I come hoping to find something new and exciting, yet it’s the same ol same ol. Has Kath lost her blogging mojo?
KathEats says
I’m really sorry you feel this way. Can you give me an example post of how I used to blog that I don’t anymore? I feel I’ve been making a pretty good effort to write about quick meals + recipes and tidbits of life.
lynn @ the actor's diet says
i’m up before the sun too! but i have absolutely no reason to be…
Sarah @ Sarah's Modern Bites says
Cannot wait to see pictures of your new house! I am sure I am not alone 🙂
I can’t remember the last time I had a yogurt bowl for breakfast. It used to be my go-to morning meal… it is so easy, nutritious and delicious 😉 In fact, thinking about this has made me realize I have definitely been lacking in the probiotics department! Maybe I’ll make some kind of yogurt dessert tonight 🙂
Ashley @ Coffee Cake and Cardio says
Y’all must be so excited about your move and your new home!!
Katie of Cabbage Ranch says
You’re so organized! I love getting to the point where everything is packed and ready to go. Exciting!
Willow @ My Own Trail says
I just had to pop in to tell you that I have the same mug (just a slightly different shape), and I posted a picture of it on my blog yesterday! 🙂
Alyse says
Are the bears excited about the move?
Mom says
Bears are pleased. They have great plans for their new room. They want Harry Potter wallpaper and one of those carpets decorated with roads for toy cars, etc. Oh and they each want beds in the shape of race cars.
Alyse says
I hope they get it! It certainly sounds exciting for them.
Mom says
I hope so too!
KathEats says
They come home this weekend!
Julie H. of Spinach and Sprinkles says
I am totally missing the longer day already! Come back loooong days! 🙂
Holly @ The Runny Egg says
The blueberries look absolutely beautiful!
OK Chick says
Today, I’m trying yesterday’s breakfast. It’s very tasty!!
sarah@spinach and spice says
Good luck with the upcoming move!
That dollop of sunbutter looks extra delicious this morning,
haha the light hits it perfectly!
Ashley O. @ The Vegetable Life says
Ohhh you must be so excited to be moving so soon! I loved being able to decorate each room as I wished when we bought our first place last year!
Lea @ Healthy Coconut says
That’s good that you hired painters. We painted each room of our house ourselves and halfway thru wished we hired professionals. We did a good job but it’s just time consuming with primers, 2nd coats and etc.
Cait @ Beyond Bananas says
I am with ya on the mid morning sunrise! While I normally wake up in the dark anyway (hello 4:45) .. by the time I finish my work out and am driving to work.. I prefer sun rather then darkness. Guess I will be waiting til late next spring before that happens again!
Nikki says
Oooh… So exciting that you get to get back into the house today! I look forward to your home neat home posts at the new house! What colours are you painting it?
KathEats says
A surprise!! Although I doubt my choices will surprise you 🙂
Allie says
I liked the “Lipton tea to be like Mom”!! That is the only tea my Mom will drink. She even carries some with her in her purse in case of emergency situations. Great Moms think alike!
Mom says
Tell your mom I do that too! I can drink other black teas, but so many places just have herbal.
Ask her if she uses the same bag twice. I try and try this, so as not to be wasteful, but find it affects the flavor.
Allie says
She thinks that Lipton is just the best! I asked if she ever reuses it but agreed that after one use it just isn’t the same strength.
Mom says
Oh good. That makes me feel better about reusing them. They look strong enough but the flavor just isn’t the same. Tell your mom I go to bed every night excited about waking up and drinking Lipton Tea!
kathleen @ the daily crumb says
i love yogurt bowls for breakfast! the protein keeps me full for hours. now i just need to take a few cues from you on making them look so darn pretty 🙂
Elisabeth says
So exciting you’ll be moving son soon! I’m actually moving next month myself (but not to my own house yet – a rented townhouse) to Columbus, OH (from northern OH). Good luck getting all the packing done. Can’t wait to some pics of inside the new house once you two get settled 🙂
Cait @ Cait hates Cake says
I cannot wait to see pics of the new house and the decorating you’ll do!
Shaya (Eye Girl Eats) says
Yay for the new house and closer distance! You’ll be settled in before you know it 🙂
deva (voracious vorilee) says
i can’t wait to see pics of the new house! i had chia seeds in a bowl of cereal today – i love the texture they get when they’ve gelled a bit, but i’m not sure i’d like chia pudding.
Sally Anne @ PaleoRunnerGirl says
Lipton always hits the spot! Sometimes simple is best. 🙂
I LOVE the crunch factor of chia sees! It is so satisfying!
Amber says
I am all about some chia seeds on pretty much all breakfasts foods now. Except for this morning’s breakfast in which I had some Bar Harbor Sardines in Maple Syrup with my egg whites and High Five bread on the side. I wasn’t sure how I would enjoy the sardines but they were actually really flavorful and not a bad flavor! Thanks for suggesting them awhile back, I was excited to stumble across them at TFM! I will probably be as successful as getting people to try sardines as I was with getting people to try chia seeds…
KathEats says
My kinda meal!
Rosa - Fitness, Food, Fulfilled says
I love how paint can totally change the look of a house and make it feel like your own so quickly. How exciting!
Emily@SavoryandSavage says
Those blueberries look so juicy.
Good luck with the move.
Angel7 says
I still have not bought chia seeds yet, but really want to so I can try them out to see if I like them. If anything, they pack a nutritional punch.

Joyce @ Jranola Joyce says
Ah how i wish i could have this for breakfast! in my dorm room without any food in the fridge! grocery shopping. NOW.
Lindsay @ bikingbeforebed says
I love waking up before sunrise. I love starting my run in the dark and then slowly seeing everything light up. Such a peaceful way to start the day.
Lauren says
Good luck with the new house. I must have missed it but I didn’t know it was coming up so quickly!!
Kathi says
Wholeheartedly disagree!!
Kathi says
Disagree with the previous comments about boring blog, and look at me and perfect life! I laugh every time I read this blog and have learned so much! And, I am twice Kath’s age!
Christine (The Raw Project) says
Breakfast looks great Agreed on waking up in the dark, no fun.
Lara @ TresLaLa says
Later sunrise = sleepy Lara. 🙁 And it’s only going to get worse! Can’t wait to see more about the house – will you be doing a post on your decor choices (paint colors, etc.?)
KathEats says
Yep!!
Shannon @ My Place In The Race says
I’m loving that first picture!!!
Heather @ Get Healthy with Heather says
Your moving day is fast approaching! Yikes, that’s so exciting!
Anne P says
I wish that we could have beautiful cool fall weather AND bright sunshine-y early mornings 🙂 I was bummed to wake up to pitch black at 6 a.m. – so much harder to get out of bed!
Maddy says
Kath,
I read your blog religiously but don’t write in often. I am a runner too and really enjoy seeing all of your healthy eats. Thanks for sharing so much of yourself! You really are a great motivator and have a very healthy attitude toward food and just life in general. Love that!!! Best of luck on your move and the success of your bakery. Lots of great things happening in your life right now. 🙂
KathEats says
Thanks so much Maddy!
Heather @ Happy Healthy Heather says
Moving is exciting!! except the actual moving of all the stuff…those blueberries look amazing. I want to pick on right off the screen! Love all your photos!
Julie says
Just got an e-mail this morning telling me that I’m getting my OpenSky shipment soon! Wee!
Hannah says
Your photos are exquisite today! So clear!
Jessica says
It feels kind of weird to say that a picture of food is beautiful, but DUDE! these pictures of your yogurt are awesome. Especially that first/top one. Incredible.
KathEats says
Thanks!
Autumn says
I’m trying to do a hypoglycemia diet. How do oats work with that? Also, is this Greek yogurt? And where does one (or you) 🙂 purchase chia seeks and sunflower butter? Thanks!
