Closing Out the Day ~ Setting Up an Evening Routine
With every good morning routine and quiet time, there goes an evening/bedtime routine and quiet time. The two together round out the day and can even make sleep easier and better quality.

Why I Rise Early
How do you start your mornings? Nowadays, I tend to rise early, at least as often as I can. This hasn\’t always been the case. I used to sleep in in any chance I got and even on work days/school days I would hit the snooze 2 or 3 (or more sometimes). As with ageContinue reading “Why I Rise Early”

Reindeer Food Ready to Go
Reindeer food ~ Because Santa gets cookies so why shouldn\’t the reindeer get a snack while they wait and Rudolph get something extra to help that nose stay red. A few years back a good mom friend introduced us to the idea of reindeer food. The kids put it together in a zip baggy andContinue reading “Reindeer Food Ready to Go”
