So much chirping going on outside my window. It really is a pleasant sound. The sound of life. We even have some baby birds outside my kitchen right now. Somehow one side of the glass in one of the porch lights broke and a little mama bird made a nest for her babies.

My little morning routine is pretty simple.  It can vary from day to day but is pretty much the same. I’ve been an early riser for as long as I can remember. It started out as a way to get a little quiet time before my children woke up and started their day. Now it’s just a way of life … well, except for the last several months where I drag myself out of bed around 6 or 6:30. I know … that’s still early … I’m a 5 a.m. riser though. 🙂

Waking up early, I’m hungry early. Trader Joes oatmeal is the best! I usually like it with cranberries, but raisins will do when that’s all I have. And I like some crunch in my food, so whatever nuts I have around go in as well. 

Checking my phone … Instagram, Facebook, email … somehow this has become part of my routine … I don’t spend much time with that first thing but it is part of what I do … I’ll often put on some worship music first thing … something soft that will just help me to wake up. Reading my Bible … I use the Bible app a lot! It’s so handy and has some really great plans to follow. Nothing replaces my actual Bible though … there’s something about the pages that I love!

Working on my blog or something photography related … just can’t get away from that … and I don’t want to. 🙂 I love it!

What is your morning routine like? I’d love to hear …

Thanks for stopping.
