Create The Life You Crave: Morning "Tickets"

Morning "Tickets"

When it comes to kids, sometimes we have to be creative. School started this week for us and we have jumped back into the familiar routine.

Today I want to share with you the trick my amazing friend started last school year.
She told me that she was having a hard time trying to help her children remember what exactly needed to be done in the morning before coming into the kitchen for breakfast. As breakfast on a school morning can take FOREVER, she wanted to have them get a few things done in the morning before sitting down.

She came up with these little "tickets" that she "laminated" with tape. The kids use them over and over and bring their mom their "ticket" when everything on the ticket is completed and they are ready to eat breakfast.

This simple way of focusing her children in the morning allows them to not be overwhelmed and helps things be a little farther along in the "getting out the door" period of the morning.

Great idea! I love how it is totally usable and doesn't scream "pinterest!!"

Here is My "WHY"

My reason for starting this blog and organizing my life has two parts: first, time for building and strengthening relationships - with God, with spouse, with children, with neighbors, with friends; and second, time for your vein of creativity.
We all desire a creative, soul-boosting outlet, yet often we get so swallowed up doing what falls in our lap, that we fail to take the time to plan for those things that build and shape who we are and how we influence those around us.

When you have a plan for your life, you get to be in control and create the life you truly crave. When you tell your tasks which days to be done on, you create the life that you want and more easily decide what goals you want to work toward. Find ways to accomplish even the smallest and mundane of tasks without trying to remember or feel guilt when you have a busy day and miss the most important things to you.
