Happy Thursday!
Have you been keeping up with my series from, “44 Things to Do During a Family No Spending Month”? If not, maybe you should.
Each item on the list allows for you and your family to have plenty of things to do and stay busy without spending a ton of money. In addition, memories are made and quality time is spent together as a family.
So, this past weekend, we tackled #1.
#1 Eat Sunday breakfast outside. Set the patio table and make it cute! #AlFrescoDining
It was extremely spur of the moment. I woke up and said, “Today is the day. We’ll have breakfast outside.”
What’s on the menu?
I decided that we would have our usual favorites which include: pancakes, waffles, eggs, sausages, and strawberries. For beverages, I decided upon water and orange juice, and of course, coffee for me in my Squad Goals mug because it matched. Hehe!
Sorry, no fancy breakfast recipes here, folks! LOL!
I took my time and cooked everything while the boys were getting ready. Don’t mind those burnt sausages. Haha! In between cooking, I searched through the cabinets for glass pitchers and found my green carafe and water pitcher. I then placed the yellow gerbera daisies on to the outdoor tray with forks and syrup.

Dollar Tree
In between the madness, I made a quick run to Dollar Tree to pick up some napkins and paper plates that would give our impromptu al fresco breakfast a cool summer vibe.
And, presto!
It happened!
I know. I know. The mission is to not spend anything, but I spent $2 on fun disposable plates and napkins. Besides, I had enough dishes to wash, I didn’t want to wash manymore. 😉
Keep in mind, you don’t have to spend anything. Shop your house and use what you have!
It doesn’t have to be perfect. Focus on the quality time being spent together!
In Summary
Waking early and having a cute, weekend breakfast on the patio is a fun way to shake things up a bit this summer, create family memories, and to give your day an uplifting start!
What’s on your al fresco breakfast menu?
