Now that spring is here, my family and I are still looking forward to spending much more time outdoors.
Soon we’ll be sitting on bleachers at baseball and softball games, and packing up the car to head to the beach each weekend. But before the lazy days of summer arrive, I always enjoy doing a thorough spring cleaning so that everything is in order for our much more laid back schedule.
In addition to a good, old-fashioned dusting and purging I also like to freshen up our daily routines including finding smarter ways to save time and energy on many of our everyday tasks.
Today, Mighty Mommy shares 6 springtime sanity savers that will save you some energy and allow you more time with your family.
Tip #1: Rise and Shine
Throughout my entire life, I’ve always been more of a night owl rather than a morning person. I enjoy the peace and quiet of late night hours because I have time to think, write, pay bills, plan meals, and get lost in a great book without any interruptions from my kids and even our dogs! The downside to this is it’s not as easy to roll out of bed early in the morning. This is especially true during the winter months because it’s so cozy and warm in my soft, flannel sheets on those frosty, dark winter mornings. Once daylight savings occurs, however, the days are longer and it’s much easier to get the day going. By simply getting up 20 or so minutes before the rest of your family, you can not only grab a little peace and quiet, you can get your day off to a super organized start which will save you time from the usual morning scurry if you tend to hit the snooze button one too many times. Rise and Shine a bit earlier and your entire family will benefit each day.
