So I must give credit to Nicole(my oldest sister), for the development of the morning five. It is a great way to get your day going for yourself and kids especially if you are a slow starter. I have always been a bit slow to get going in the morning. For as long as I can remember I've had a difficult time waking up. A few have even accused me of being grumpy, I'm not buying it though. I probably would be a great coffee drinker, too bad we'll never know. Without further ado here is the morning five I try and do with my kids:
- Get Dressed
- Eat Breakfast
- Say prayers
- Brush teeth
- Make Bed
The list has no particular order we just try and have it done while it is still considered morning hours and I think it sets a good tone for the day. Now the real test for all things in my life is the consistency part, wish us luck cause we need all we can get.

I am terrible at #3 & 5. I made my bed every day last week but I didn't say my morning prayers once. I have a long way to go.
I try to say morning prayers before I get out of bed, otherwise you never know what will happen to interrupt the rhythm. Sometimes those 5 things seem so daunting in the morning!
Those are great! I think I'm really good at doing 4 of the 5 with Cooper before he leaves for school. But, as for the rest of us, it's kind of a free for all! I'm going to try to get better at these with Landon! #3 we are not good at. We always say night prayers together, but not morning! Thanks...we'll work on that!
Great idea!!
