Despite the fact that wine makes a great photograph partner, I really didn’t drink all that much last night. But I feel hungover from lack of sleep! I didn’t get in bed until 2AM! At 8 this morning I was wide awake and couldn’t stop thinking about these:
Oat Berry Muffins!
After several attempts to go back to sleep with my eye mask on, I caved to my hunger and got up to eat. I figured I could always go back to sleep after!
I filled my bowl with a cup of yogurt, lots of crumbled muffin, half a banana, blueberries, chia seeds and Smucker’s Natural.
Return of the chia seeds!! I’ve been out of them for a while and was using some mila I received as a sample (ground chia seeds). I didn’t really like the mila. The glory of chia seeds is eating them whole – like little pebbles. The ground version was like eating a tasteless sand. The cheapest chias I’ve found out there are from Chia Seeds Direct [free shipping!] so that’s where I bought them.
So glad to have sprinkles back in my life!
I also made a pot of coffee, but the boys don’t seem to be interested!
We have our friends here to hang with this morning and may go to brunch/lunch. Matt and I also have to go to the bakery and do last night’s paperwork since Karen was able to close down the store for us last night.
Happy Father’s Day Father!!
And to Father #2 : )
…and FOTB [fatheroftheBears]

A lack of sleep always makes me feel hungover too! Such a bad feeling. Hopefully the muffin helped 🙂
kelsey says
Such a great fathers day collage…….and up stayed up until 2?!?!?!
Grace @ Healthy Dreaming says
Love the collage of you and your father! It’s beautiful.
YUMMY muffins 🙂
M says
Is your store always closed Sundays?
I think that’s a great idea,because even if you have other work stuff
to catch up on, it is soooo nice to have one day a week you can sleep in
and have a slow ,lazy morn if your heart desires.
Here’s to Sunday mornings!!
KathEats says
Yep – always Sundays
lisa @ early morning run says
great photo tributes! Looks like a lot of fun memories.
Jen says
You are such a hospitable couple! Your one day off together and you have company. Very generous!
Baking 'n' Books says
Maybe in the future as the business grows, you’ll be able to take an extra day off? There’s so much good to owning your own business – but “down” sides too I guess.
Are they home-made muffins?!
Lauren @ What Lauren Likes says
I like the texture of whole chia seeds also 🙂 Its cool you don’t have to grind them up like flax seeds to get all the benifits!!
Cait's Plate says
Oh man that muffin looks amazing. I would’ve caved to my hunger for that baby too! 😉
I definitely know the feeling of a sleep hangover (or lack of sleep!) – it’s the worst. You just feel woozy all day. Hope you’re able to get back to sleep later on.
Also – I recently brought back chia seeds too – forgot how great the texture is! Glad you found them again as well 😀
Christine (The Raw Project) says
Agreed on chia seeds, I only like adding ground seeds to smoothies. Great breakfast! And adorable Father’s Day photos!
Cait @ Beyond Bananas says
Love your collage of father’s day pictures 🙂
Ann @ Day by Day says
Beautiful Father’s Day collages! I’ll have to check out Picasa. I’m afraid I’m slacking this year on getting Dad a good present… I may have to run out and get something today. I know that’s terrible, but I was out of town and Father’s Day snuck up on me.
Valerie @ City|Life|Eats says
This is totally reminding me I need to make gf muffins to haveon hand at home 🙂
lynn @ the actor's diet says
i haven’t had ch ch ch chia in my life for a while now either!
kaila @ healthy helper! says
Mmmm that muffin looks scrumptious!
Balancing Sylvia says
Breakfast def looks like a hangover cure especially with the chia.
Those photo collages are just great. I thought the picture of your hubby with your Dad was really funny too. Hope you and your Papa Bear have a great Sunday!
Lenna says
The last picture is just too precious!!
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin says
I woke up way too early this morning too. I feel like a zombie! I hope you’re feeling more perky than me. 😛

Enjoy your day off and your time with your friends.
Julie - StressStories says
Aww the pictures of your dad are amazing. Makes me miss my own dad and I even saw him yesterday!
I wish we had as many delicious nut butters in DK as you have in US. They just seem to give that extra kick to your bowls (along with chia seeds which I haven’t found here either…).
Khushboo says
Ah I hate sleep hangovers but take it from me, do not cave to a nap- I did last week and it totally messed up my sleep at night!
Namaste Gurl says
Have a great day– happy father’s day! 🙂
Natalia - a side of simple says
As a self-proclaimed sprinkle addict, I think I need to get some chia seeds so I can maximize my sprinkle potential 🙂 Have a great Sunday!
Mom says
Love the pictures of Dad. Wish there was someway to order that as a poster.
Jessica @ The Process of Healing says
Your father seems so sweet! And muffins on yogurt bowls (or oats) are the BEST!
Ashley @ Coffee Cake and Cardio says
What beautiful pictures of your Dad(s). Isn’t it funny how some morning we just have to get out of bed for a yummy breakfast? That was me yesterday morning… I swear I was dreaming about pancakes.
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
I was in the same boat this morning. It’s funny how lack of sleep can give you that hung over feeling. I think this calls for a nap!
Emily @ Savory and Savage says
Great pictures of your Dad!
Thanks for including the link for the chia seeds – I have been trying to decide where to order them.
Angel7 says
Father of the Bears… That is too cute!!!

Gorgeous photos for a gorgeous family!
J3nn(Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) says
I didnt go to sleep until 2 am either, but that’s not unusual for me! Lol
I was recently united with chia seeds, too! They rock.
Molly @ RDexposed says
Your dad is too cute! Dads. Are. The. BEST!
Kim @ Life Analytical says
I’ve never had chia seeds, but I’m so curious about them! And lately I’ve been on the hunt for sunflower butter because of your blog.
Jenny (Fit Girl Foodie) says
Those muffins look delicious what a fabulous breakfast.
Annette @ EnjoyYourHealthyLife says
MMM love muffins 🙂
Marissa says
I just have to say, you looked SO beautiful on your wedding day!
KathEats says
Thanks 🙂
Kristy says
You guys remind me of my husband and I before we had kids. We had a bear and a dog (real one, not stuffed!) Every mothers or fathers day there would be gifts and cards from the dog and bear, in their childish handwriting of course! We loved being a family even before we were officially recognised as one! By the way, Matt looks so young in yesterdays wedding photos! Something about boys taking years off when they’re cleaned up and dressed up? And yes, they’re boys unless they’re old enough to be my father!
