After spending the first two hours of each morning feeding, changing, rocking, and smoothing two crying babies back to sleep while getting a toddler and husband out the door, I must have the following breakfast treats to bring me back to normal 
*Green tea served in one of my many coffee mugs I’ve picked up traveling. These mugs are great for triggering happy memories. This morning, I’m using my mug from our honeymoon at the Grand Hyatt in Kauai.
*Soft boiled egg. 7 minutes in bowling water = perfect egg I’ve got this down!
*Wheat toast with butter and grape jelly.
*Homemade fruit smoothie: frozen mangoes, bananas, pineapple, and apple juice.
*Glass of water.
*And by the time I sit down to enjoy my breakfast it is about 8:30am. Just in time to catch the last 30 minutes of the CBS Morning Show with Charlie Rose, Gayle King and fellow mother of three/twim mom Norah O’Donnell.
Yep, I do the same thing with coffee mugs. I try to get one wherever we travel to. As you say, they are great memory triggers.
