Note from the Publisher ~ My Crazy Morning Routine

February 9, 2016
I'm sure your mornings are as crazy as mine are, heck we're all parents, right? I love hearing what other moms/dads do in the mornings, though. Not sure why, but I think it makes me feel better to know we are not alone and all have our own levels of crazy to contend with! Here's a glimpse into a typical morning for me:

5:45am Alarm goes off 
5:55am Get my daily 30 min workout in
6:30am Feed the cat and start to prep my boys' lunches
6:45am Wake up kid #1
6:50am Remind kid #1 to get his butt in the shower and wake up kid #2
6:55am Wake up kid #2 again 
7:00am Make boys' breakfast and finish making lunches (Yell for kid #1 to hurry up in the shower and yell for kid #2 to GET OUT OF BED)
7:25am Remind kids for the 400th time to brush their teeth, pack their bag, and put shoes on
7:40am At the bus stop 
7:50am Finally time for me to eat breakfast, have a cup of coffee (Lulu+Stir, of course), and take a shower
8:30am At my desk to work (Yah, I'm super thankful for my short commute)

I also usually triage my email and do a quick glance at social media wherever I can fit it into this craziness. 

So, there's a glimpse into my busy morning. I truly wonder if one day my kids will actually be able to do any of this on their own without me being time keeper? I seriously hope so. lol

Peace, Love and Macaroni
