For most kids, breakfast before going back to school might include a bowl of porridge or cereal and a slice of toast. But one mum has proved that the first meal of the day can be much more exciting, after showing off the epic spread she prepared for her little ones ahead of the first September school run, as reports The Daily Star.
The mum-of-four, named Petra, shared a look at the huge breakfast spread on her TikTok account, where she posts under the name @petraorganisedmum. The table was full of food including waffles, brioche rolls, eggs, pain au chocolat, crumpets, yoghurts, cold meats and cheeses, croissants, fruit and various sauces and spreads. The mum had also decorated the table with balloons and a banner.

Petra claims this treat is something she likes to do each year for her kids and that they go off to school "happy" after tucking into their food.
The clip quickly went viral, with more than 44,000 people liking it and over 2,000 taking the time to comment.
Many were in awe of the breakfast spread, with fellow parents admitting they were "jealous" of the children's food and one person even compared it to something "out of a movie".
Another said: "That's a movie breakfast."
"WOW," proclaimed a third.
Someone else posted: "I'd lay it all out and then my kids would ask for porridge instead."
"Looks amazing," replied a different user.
However, some TikTok users were left baffled by the amount of food and couldn't fathom how the mum had time to prepare it all.
"Another thing we will all convince ourselves we should be doing," commented a fellow mum.
A second asked: "Have you got 46 kids?"
"I can only imagine how much food is wasted," a TikTok user added.
Petra was quick to shut down negative comments on her post though, explaining that there was no waste as she has "a hubby that eats loads and airtight containers for leftovers".
She also urged fellow parents not to "do anything you don't want to do" and told those questioning how she had time to do it that she set most of it up the night before.
