    This DIY breakfast kit, with a customized Breakfast in Bed table tray, carrying case and napkins will make special occasions a snap!

    I don't know about you guys, but we have had very few opportunities for date nights this past year! My husband and I have come up with some at-home date ideas that we think are keepers, though. One thing we love to do sometimes is set aside some weekend time and have breakfast in bed!

    I decided that it would be fun to have a 'Breakfast in Bed Kit.' I made a DIY carrying case to keep dishes all together in one spot, and with padding, so they won't get broken in storage. Of course, I wanted to personalize things and add some flare with my Cricut!

    I used my Cricut Joy to add vinyl to the breakfast-in-bed tray and used iron-on to create special napkins that we can use for different occasions.

    We also do breakfast in bed for birthdays, Mother's Day, and Father's Day, along with those 'just because' breakfast dates thrown in for good measure.

    Speaking of breakfast in bed - we recommend these Overnight Waffles, The World's BEST Breakfast Casserole, or this Easy Homemade Strawberry Danish. You should check out our breakfast page for even more amazing recipes!
