Morning Routine: (5:30 AM-7:00 AM)
I normally wake up at 5:30 AM to get my day going.
At this time, I work on my blogging business until 6:00 am. I pray and meditate on the Word of God from 6:00 am-6:30 am. And from 6:30 am-7:00 am, I do a little bit more work on my blog.
On school days the kids wake up at 7:00 am. When there’s no school everyone has until 7:30 am to wake up. When I get back from drop-off, I begin to use my toddler schedule.
