Speaker 1: Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of I Heart Radio.
Speaker 1: Good Morning. This is Laura, Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast.
Speaker 1: Today's tip is to get a family uniform, Particularly if
Speaker 1: you're spending a lot of time at home these days,
Speaker 1: having some sort of matching outfit or accessories that you
Speaker 1: share with the people you love can make you feel
Speaker 1: like you're on the same team. This past Christmas, I
Speaker 1: decided to buy my entire family matching pajamas. My goal
Speaker 1: at the time was just to take one of those
Speaker 1: cute Christmas morning pictures people post on Instagram, but since
Speaker 1: we were expecting another baby soon after Christmas, elected to
Speaker 1: buy pajamas that weren't completely Christmas ee so the baby
Speaker 1: could wear his pear once he was born. The pajamas
Speaker 1: are just non season specific festive, a navy blue henley
Speaker 1: top trimmed in red, and fuzzy pants with a snowflake pattern.
Speaker 1: This turned out to be a good choice because my
Speaker 1: entire family and I include my husband and myself in
Speaker 1: that statement, have kept wearing these pajamas all winter long
Speaker 1: and into spring. We don't sit down and decide to
Speaker 1: wear them on the same night, but it's always fun
Speaker 1: to see which other family members have chosen them. On
Speaker 1: any particular evening, we nod and smile and note the
Speaker 1: family jammies. This was fun in January and February, but
Speaker 1: has proven particularly nice as we wound up in the
Speaker 1: house to gather twenty four seven starting in early March.
Speaker 1: If we're going through all this, at least we're going
Speaker 1: through it together as a family in team jerseys. If
Speaker 1: you're spending a lot of time with your family these days,
Speaker 1: you might also enjoy having a family uniform. Pajamas are
Speaker 1: great because, well, let's face it, we're spending a lot
Speaker 1: of time in our pajamas and it's an easier cell
Speaker 1: to get people to wear something comfortable. But you could
Speaker 1: choose a matching family T shirt or baseball cap. A
Speaker 1: matching family fleece would keep you warm on chilly nights.
Speaker 1: Matching slippers might be fun too, and no one's going
Speaker 1: to see them when you're on zoom calls all day,
Speaker 1: so you could keep wearing them all day long. Even
Speaker 1: your chosen family such as roommates, might want to get
Speaker 1: in on this. It's fun to feel like a team
Speaker 1: during tough times with the folks you're living with. A
Speaker 1: uniform can also help you establish a connection with far
Speaker 1: flung family too. Send Grandma the family t shirt and
Speaker 1: then everyone wears it as you face time each other.
Speaker 1: It's not the same as being there in person, but
Speaker 1: it reminds you that you're in this together. Do you
Speaker 1: have any sort of family uniform. I'd love to hear
Speaker 1: about it. You can email me at Before Breakfast podcast
