What do your mornings look like? Do they involve sipping coffee or tea, watching the news, running about trying to find clean clothes, or slowly waking up to the sounds of nature?   At the Willis house, it usually involves the same routine everyday.  Key word; USUALLY!  Consistency is key with two kids, two and under.  It helps them to know what to expect.  When I decided to document our lives, I promised myself I would stay real.  Here is a peak of how our mornings run.

Me Time

Some (very few) mornings, I will go workout at 5 am!  Getting up is the hardest part, although once I get there, it really charges me up.  Something about sweating profusely with 10 plus other people, makes me happier.  I will return home around 6:15 and Dustin will usually be standing in the kitchen fixing his coffee and morning breakfast… Cheerios.  If the little ones don’t wake up with all the noise in the kitchen, I have about 45 minutes to myself.  This time is extremely flexible and where I can think my own thoughts.  I get dressed for the day, fix my coffee, and pray.  Pray, pray, pray… we need this daily. I need this daily!
