Farmhouse Breakfast Week runs from 26th January - 1st February and is a great campaign to promote the importance of breakfast for you and your family. Getting up just a few minutes earlier each day to prepare something to eat could really help you to concentrate better and lower stress levels - it's definitely worth having some toast, cereal or a delicious alternative each morning.
