For most people, the early morning is the going to be the best time to schedule in some good ol self care before the day hits them full force.

If you don't know who I am, I am a mother to four. We are a homeschooling, homesteading, renovating farmhouse kind of family. And if that weren't enough, we decided to throw in a full time blog for good measure.

I consider my early morning habits to be some of the most valuable priorities in my day and can see how they act as a backbone for everything I do.

So, let's dive right in. Here are the morning routine essentials that I have fine tuned over the last three decades and that I recommend for jumpstarting a fantastic day.

Wake Up

Spend time Praying and reading the Bible
My Utmost for His Highest is my all time favorite devotional

The kids like hot meals and I use recipes that have a prep time of 10 mins, then we eat for 10 mins and clean up 10 mins

8:30 am

Kids start school
I get a shower, get dressed, do hair and makeup
Having a basic "uniform" (blouses, jeans, one purse & the same color shoes, minimal jewelry) helps cut down on decision fatique and time spent getting ready

9:00 am

Start teaching, blogging or head out for errands

So, this is a sample idea of a good morning routine. Whatever you decide to do, I highly recommend that you do indeed decide to do a morning routine. Make sure you have a way to "fill your cup" so you are not running on empty all day!
