Where do you live: IN THE NORTH OF THE UK, SHEFFIELD Your kids name+ age: ANYA (4) AND REUBEN (3)
What do they have for breakfast: They’re not really breakfast people, they take their breakfast begrudgingly most of the time but for some reason the humble rice crispie, without sugar seems to do it for Reuben and occasionally a chocolate pancake for Anya. They both have dairy intolerances so we use Almond milk in their breakfasts.
What do you (and daddy) have for breakfast: Daddy is usually up and off in the morning but when he’s around at the weekend he can be found making tea and rounds of (lactose free) cheese grilled bagels for everyone.
Where do you live: Vienna, Austria Your kids name+ age: Kayla Hope, 4 1/2
What do they have for breakfast: on a normal day mostly fruits, or a little yoghurt. she usually has breakfast in kindergarten. on weekends she has also fruits and yoghurt, with a toast. she has a very strange taste and eats the weirdest things: butter-cheese toast with marmalade and dips it in her yoghurt :)
What do you (and daddy) have for breakfast: I have a light cappuccino because I don’t like coffee so much, and some fruit and daddy has fruits and veggies, all raw…I guess we know where Kayla gets her weird taste from :)

Family breakfast: Typically, breakfast is a bit of a rush as the kids eat a quick bowl of cereal or oatmeal and my husband and I eat something light before heading to the gym, so on the weekends we like to take time to slow down and eat a nice big breakfast together. Every now and then we get a craving for southern biscuits, a staple if you come from the southern USA like we do. They can be filled with sausage, bacon, and eggs or eaten with a light touch of honey, but either way they always need a good smothering of rich butter first. Sometimes I let the kids choose their favorite such as chocolate chip pancakes or blueberry muffins but they always want boiled eggs and some fruit, too.
What does she have for breakfast: When we ask Jamie in the morning what she would like to have for breakfast she ussually screams: HAGEL (Dutch for fruit sprinkles). Of course we can’t do this every morning ;) She also loves Dutch cheese on a slice of bread and sometimes she gets a bowl of fruit on the side.
What do you (and daddy) have for breakfast: I can’t start the day without my café latte XXL), which usually goes together with a bowl of fruit or a simple sandwich. My husband on the other likes to have a very extensive breakfast : al large cup of tea, muesli with yogurt and fruit or a large grilled cheese sandwich. In the weekend we always try to have nice family breakfast with some homemade croissants, French toast, boiled or scrambled eggs and some fresh fruit. Jamie loves to get a piece of everything and she always seems to take care the table ends up looking like we had breakfast with 10 kids ;)
What do they have for breakfast: No matter if it’s during the week or on the weekends, Giselle is the first one to rise and comes to my side of the bed and asks if it’s 7 o’clock. She makes me check my watch and tells me that she is hungry – not that she has any idea of the time. She can open the fridge from the base and grabs an Actimel or a yoghurt before her brother gets up. Once Luca is up it’s usually just the kids eating at the breakfast table which is a rather rushed affair. During the week they normally have weat-a-bix or muesli (my husband is always frustrated that kids muesli has chocolate in it), fruit and toast. On the weekends the choice is muesli or porridge, freshly pressed carrot and apple juice, egg&soldiers, vegemite, nutella( treat only on weekends) and chino (milk froth with coco)
What do mummy and daddy have for breakfast: My husband is away a lot for business so when we are together breakfast on weekends are very special. A must is a double shot flat white to wake us up and get the ball rolling in the mornings. The kids love helping in the kitchen and Luca has is own mini fry pan to fry his egg for his Bagdad Eggs. You’re probably wondering what that is? Back in Australia before we had kids we used to eat this lovely dish at Stephanie Alexander’s lader cafe in Melbourne. In short it’s a flat bread spread with hommus with one or two fried runny egg (s) placed on top, chopped parsley and mint, with a sprinkle of nutmeg or cumin and a drizzle of lemon oil. Want to try? My husband then quietly slips away with our son and does some male bonding watching Australian footy via livestream in his Charles Eames lounge chair which he got for this 40th last year.
