My Routines Day TWO

I am sooooooo sleepy today! Not sure how Miss Tilly has so much energy today,after being sick half the night, but I would love some! Needless to say she is feeling much better today :)

So by now you should have your Morning and Evening Routines done.

I told you last night, that I would give you a run down of times for my Morning routine, so here it is!

Our Morning Routine

6.30 Wake up and shower

6:45 Make bed

7:00 Wake kids (if not already up, they're early risers, all except Boo {13 years}

7:05 Make kids breakfast (again, if I haven't already, the younger ones ask for it as soon as they rise)

7:10 Prepare Lunches (if I haven't the night before)

7:20 Boo unpacks dishwasher
        Open Blinds in ALL rooms (I am terrible at this!! I ALWAYS forget)

7:30 Kids start morning routines (get dressed, make bed etc)

7:40 COFFEE!!!!! and check to-do list/calendar/planner

7:50 Do Miss Tilly's hair

8:00 Do my hair and face

8:15 Tidy bathroom

8:25 Say/Kiss goodbye to Jman and Boo as they leave for the bus 

8:30 My day begins - housework, errands, play dates, appointments etc

Since writing this, I have decided to add, *light burner/candles in Lounge room* to the routine. I have some awesome home made soy candles and melts, that smell divine, and I keep forgetting to light/burn them! 

I can hear my friends and family laughing!!! They know that there is no way I can or will get up at 6:30 am! Even My hubby is probably having a chuckle!!! But HEY!!! I was once a morning person, I can be again! I need you lot to help and encourage me to do this, not laugh at me LOL. Maybe Mrs Fowles needs to call me every morning at 6:30 am repeatedly  (the nutter is awake before 6!) until i'm up!!!

There was a time, way back when Jman was a baby, that I was up at 6:00 am everyday!!! Mr Mister will tell you!!!!!

Another thing I have to start doing more of, is delegating! The younger ones LOVE having their own special jobs! I will write up a routine for them, and they're all for it, then 3-4 days later the novelty wears off, and its just quicker and easier for me to do it, than argue with them. But no more!! Look out kiddles! 

Miss Tilly loves helping to do the dishes, which I love, and hate.... Here is why.....

Miss Tilly washing up the plastic stuff

The mess she made while doing it.....

She is now super sad that she is not allowed to wash up any more and is sent to sit in front of the fire to dry off! While she was doing that, Jman was wiping the table!

Lets get onto tomorrows task, the last one before the actual Challenge begins! Gahhhh!!! Dunno if I'm ready for this!! 

Tomorrow will be all about de-cluttering and setting goals! I know I have a LOT to purge! In this task, Kat helps us put together some bins to help sort our stuff out!!! As usual, she has provided some free printables for this task:

1. 20 Day Challenge Goal List
2. 20 Day Challenge Goal List Blank 

to help us work out what our goals are and write them down!!

We will also need Four {4} sorting tubs! Kat has some really pretty labels that you can buy in her printables store for $2.95, but i think a cardboard box and a sharpie will work just as well!!!

You can get all the details for tomorrows task {here}.

What I have the most trouble with, is actually getting rid of the 'stuff' once I've purged! I get it out of my cupboards and into garbage bags to donate, then it sits there...... Anyone else have that issue??? What do you find hard when de-cluttering? 

If you have any ideas and tips on how to make this process easier for me, and anyone else following along, PLEASE leave me a comment below! I need all the help I can get! 

Ok, well better go finish tidying up the kitchen.... Talk to you tomorrow
