In my perfect world, I'd have at least ~2 hours to leisurely enjoy my morning routine. 🙂 I used to get up at 4:30 a.m. (although back then, I would often work for 2 hours before the kids got up! Now that they are older, I can work later into the afternoon and these early… Continue reading Current Morning Routine Staples
Last night we watched The Witches, the 2020 movie remake of Roald Dahl's classic (and childhood favorite of mine) book. The boys and I have read that book several times over the years, too. I'm actually a big Roald Dahl fan in general and read most of his books as a kid. The remake is… Continue reading The Witches and Weekend Morning Routine Dilemmas
As you know, I like getting up pretty early and I LOVE my morning routine time. But there is one thing that annoys me sometimes when I listen to podcasts/ read articles about starting or improving a morning routine. I feel like oftentimes people seem to completely forget about these little things called "transitions". For… Continue reading A pet peeve about advice on morning routines
I've had a thought rolling around in my head intermittently since a week or so ago when I listened to an episode of the podcast The Mom Hour.

After the last two days of the electrician here at 7 am, today we had an appointment at 7:00 with an arborist to give us a quote for removing a (huge) newly dead ash tree in our yard, plus scope out… Continue reading Modified Mornings
I am writing this later than usual on this beautiful Sunday morning, since this guy ↓decided he wanted to go swim laps at 6:05 a.m. this morning! We were going to go yesterday afternoon, but it was hot and we ended up just feeling lazy, so we cancelled and rescheduled for bright and early today.… Continue reading Someone crashed my early morning hours!
Morning! Today is a much needed rest day from working out, so I have a little extra time this morning. I might sneak in a little yoga at some point if I get a chance and I'm hoping to go for a walk. This is also a half/ flex day of work for me so… Continue reading ‘Meditation May’
Good Saturday morning. It was nice to sleep in a little bit today. I still generally like getting up early on the weekends, but it depends what time I get to bed if I set an alarm or not. Last night I decided not to set one. I was awake in the night too for a… Continue reading Journaling Fails and my Highlight Journal system!
It's Monday, officially only our second Monday since starting quarantine. (I'm not even really sure what to call it. I know we are aren't really in "quarantine" exactly, but what are we supposed to say? "Our second Monday since starting to stay at home all the time? Our second Monday in social isolation? All of… Continue reading My Current Morning Routine during COVID-19
