A cup of coffee could wake me up at any hour, but to stay awake with a toddler might not be as easy unless they have a nap time and you take a 20 minute snooze when they do. That power nap could keep you going while still waking early. But if that isn't feasible, it might not be the season for you... A rested mother also makes a happy home.JEShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08300505126646960374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137578215906638858.post-45195938379193445762021-02-28T22:06:38.845-06:002021-02-28T22:06:38.845-06:00How can I do this when I'm breastfeeding my to...How can I do this when I'm breastfeeding my toddler during the night?

For years, I felt this subtle pressure that there was something wrong with me, and then as I grew older and wiser I accepted that every person, and every family, is unique, and we follow the rhythms that work best for us. I love how our Father God has made such amazing variety in His children!Carolyn Henderson -- This Woman Writeshttp://thiswomanwrites.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137578215906638858.post-38522667250872523522015-09-16T21:04:55.975-05:002015-09-16T21:04:55.975-05:00I'm not a morning person either.

Last month a friend challenged me to get up early so I can have some quiet time before the kiddos woke up, but when I did my 2yr old would wake up too and not go back to sleep unless I cuddled in bed with her. That would always end me falling asleep. Maybe she knows my alarm is different from daddy's, so wondering if I had hubby wake me up it would go better and I can actually get up and get the blood flowing instead of cuddling with her and falling back asleep.

It's the day the diapers need to be washed (after all of the dirty bedding and laundry, and getting baths for the dirty ones done before breakfast). Then the chaos begins and the beautiful picture is no more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137578215906638858.post-51827154896385735012014-07-09T10:16:53.158-05:002014-07-09T10:16:53.158-05:00This post truly blessed me.

I have a daily routine of wiping down the bathroom & kitchen plus dusting the livingroom. When finished I let the dogs out & check the hens nesting boxes, & start laundry. After that I go online for a short time & then at promptly 8 am I vacuum. Then its breakfast! My daughter is already up feeding the dogs by this time & after we at it's homeschool time. LOVE it!
