Tammy @ http://www.tammysrecipes.com/ is hosting a weekly blog post called Making your home a Haven. This week is about putting together 5 things that make up your morning routine to get your day off to a peaceful start. This is something that I have attempted to do in the past as part of the Flylady's http://www.flylady.net/ home program, which I love but have trouble keeping up with. So this blog post is just the thing that I need to help me to get back on track with my routines. I find it really does make a difference in my day if I will stick with it. So my morning routine is


1) awake between 6 -6:30 - this is the hardest for me, I prefer to sleep until 7:30, but I feel better about myself if I get up and fix the boys a cooked breakfast and not just let them eat cereal.



2) empty dishwasher, start a load of laundry



3) have a cup of coffee & read my Bible, pray



4) shower, swish & swipe bathroom



5) dress for the day & make my bed
