1 00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:06,720 Speaker 1: Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of I Heart Radio. 2 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:14,240 Speaker 1: Good Morning. This is Laura, Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast. 3 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 1: Today's tip is to get a family uniform, Particularly if 4 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:22,320 Speaker 1: you're spending a lot of time at home these days, 5 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 1: having some sort of matching outfit or accessories that you 6 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,040 Speaker 1: share with the people you love can make you feel 7 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:33,479 Speaker 1: like you're on the same team. This past Christmas, I 8 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:37,840 Speaker 1: decided to buy my entire family matching pajamas. My goal 9 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:39,479 Speaker 1: at the time was just to take one of those 10 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:43,600 Speaker 1: cute Christmas morning pictures people post on Instagram, but since 11 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 1: we were expecting another baby soon after Christmas, elected to 12 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 1: buy pajamas that weren't completely Christmas ee so the baby 13 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: could wear his pear once he was born. The pajamas 14 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 1: are just non season specific festive, a navy blue henley 15 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 1: top trimmed in red, and fuzzy pants with a snowflake pattern. 16 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,960 Speaker 1: This turned out to be a good choice because my 17 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 1: entire family and I include my husband and myself in 18 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 1: that statement, have kept wearing these pajamas all winter long 19 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,959 Speaker 1: and into spring. We don't sit down and decide to 20 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: wear them on the same night, but it's always fun 21 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 1: to see which other family members have chosen them. On 22 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: any particular evening, we nod and smile and note the 23 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 1: family jammies. This was fun in January and February, but 24 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,399 Speaker 1: has proven particularly nice as we wound up in the 25 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 1: house to gather twenty four seven starting in early March. 26 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,960 Speaker 1: If we're going through all this, at least we're going 27 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:45,959 Speaker 1: through it together as a family in team jerseys. If 28 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 1: you're spending a lot of time with your family these days, 29 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: you might also enjoy having a family uniform. Pajamas are 30 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: great because, well, let's face it, we're spending a lot 31 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,559 Speaker 1: of time in our pajamas and it's an easier cell 32 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: to get people to wear something comfortable. But you could 33 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: choose a matching family T shirt or baseball cap. A 34 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: matching family fleece would keep you warm on chilly nights. 35 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: Matching slippers might be fun too, and no one's going 36 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,359 Speaker 1: to see them when you're on zoom calls all day, 37 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 1: so you could keep wearing them all day long. Even 38 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,359 Speaker 1: your chosen family such as roommates, might want to get 39 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 1: in on this. It's fun to feel like a team 40 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: during tough times with the folks you're living with. A 41 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,359 Speaker 1: uniform can also help you establish a connection with far 42 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 1: flung family too. Send Grandma the family t shirt and 43 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 1: then everyone wears it as you face time each other. 44 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: It's not the same as being there in person, but 45 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: it reminds you that you're in this together. Do you 46 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: have any sort of family uniform. I'd love to hear 47 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: about it.
