Do you need to establish a better routine?
Is your morning routine less than ideal? I can relate! I’ve found that in order to have a good morning routine, it really starts in the evening before. I’ve written before on how rough the mornings can be around here. Our school year has already started, and I already have quite a few stories on how crazy our days are if we don’t have a good morning.
However what I’ve been focusing on even more is our evening routine. If we go to bed and the house is a mess, it makes our morning routine so much harder. The children all have chores to do each morning, but instead of waking up to a sink full of dirty dinner dishes, it takes far less time to just put away the clean dishes in the dishwasher in the morning, and load up the breakfast dishes.
What gave me a good reminder on the importance of evening routine, was watching the Make Over Your Evening videos that Crystal Paine has put together. It’s so encouraging without pouring guilt on you for where you are at in life!
Some of my evenings goals:
- Get to bed before midnight! Seriously. Even 11:00 would make me happy right now!
- Go to bed with a clean bedroom. My husband would adore me for this.
- Have the children in bed by their bedtime, which is 8:30.
- Spend 30 minutes with Sean after the children are in bed.
- Have my clothes picked out the night before!
- Read my scriptures and say a prayer every night before bed!
I’m looking forward to finishing the Make Over Your Evening course, and I’m going to keep working towards my goals!
If you need help with your morning or evening goals, the Make Over Your Mornings course, or the Make Over Your Evenings course is on sale for just $10 each, regularly $17 each!
Or you can grab both of them for $17! When you check out for one of them, you will be given the option to add the other course to your cart. This is a great deal, and Crystal doesn’t run very many sales on these courses!
Once you get it, come ask to join the Facebook group I created for those going through these courses!
If you don’t have time to go through these courses right away, you have lifetime access to them! Â
Wow! Midnight is late! Just curious, do all of your children have the same bedtime, or does it depend on their age?
It *is* late, but it’s when I work. 🙂 Our one year old can easily go to bed earlier, but right now the 4-12 year old all have the same bedtime. Our house is so small, I don’t know how anyone would fall asleep earlier unless they all go to bed at the same time.
