My morning starts off by a prayer for the day before my feet hit the floor. It is quiet and I can't see anyone or anything that needs my immediate attention. I pull on a ratty well loved sweatshirt from college, wash my face and brush my teeth. I am usually looking forward to coffee, but lately tea has been the go to. I received a little goodie bag filled with some teas from our local tea garden for Christmas. I have only tried the green tea and I have not had any thing so fresh and pure in a long while! This tea was so smooth, I did not miss milk, honey or even sugar!! It is that delicious!! This was a welcomed treat and I hope to try more of the teas in the future. After tea service, the morning progresses into checking for hats, gloves, lunches, farewell kisses, hugs and prayers for the children and then a load or two of laundry, Hubby and I will have a meeting of the minds before he goes to conquer the world, a run, bible study, dinner prep, errands, dog walking and cuddling, etc., etc. There is still time to join us here and here.
Happy Friday!
What does your morning look like?
What are you doing for the weekend?
i must have my coffee in the morning, but love tea at night. after my late night treadmill runs, i wind down with a cup of tea while checking emails/blogging etc.
ReplyDeletemorning? crazy...
I know I usually hit the coffee too but I am doing something new for a few weeks!
DeleteEnjoy!
My morning usually starts with a little meditation, writing in my journal, then coffee, getting my son ready for school and dropped off!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a sweet ritual! I need to journal too.
DeleteTea is growing on me. My mornings aren't as peaceful as I would like. I need to get into the habit of waking up significantly earlier than my son so I can meditate. This weekend we had some friends visit with their new baby! :-)
ReplyDeleteTake it all in stride, your routine will ebb and flow as long as you have little ones growing up at different stages. I hope you enjoyed your guests?? A new baby, ahh, ooh!
DeleteWarm lemon water and getting V ready for school then coffee and blog stuff followed by housework. I love morning once I'm gotten the cranky out around 10ish.
ReplyDeleteWhat's in the Island Green? It sounds like something else but I'll keep quiet.
Sounds like a great start to the day. I tried the warm lemon water and then the tea.
DeleteLOL, Island Green?? Hmm??
so cool that you are participating in this project and i can't wait to see more of your photos. i love a good tea too ... with a touch of honey. believe it or not, i've never tried it with milk! hope you enjoyed your weekend!
ReplyDeleteYes, thought I would mix things up a bit and stretch myself. It has been so far so fun!
DeleteTry a touch of milk the next tea time and let me know how you like it.
Enjoy!
My day starts with prayer as well. I am going to have to take some time and have myself a cup of tea though.
ReplyDeleteI usually drink coffee, but for a few days this month I am drinking a little tea as well.
DeleteI am slowly trying to get myself off of the coffee, and people have suggested black tea. I purchased some for my son's teachers for Christmas and didn't bother to save a bag for myself.
ReplyDeleteI need to do a better job of grabbing that me time in the morning. Next week I'm going to try to wake up an hour early or at least 30 minutes to get in some quiet time.
Hey, it's all baby steps with getting up early, etc. Give yourself some room to work up to that. It will all flow.
DeleteI love how you start your mornings. I like the idea of praying before getting out of bed when your mind hasn't had a chance to become overwhelmed with life.
ReplyDeleteAnd you know I have to have my coffee...
Girl, you know I am a coffee lover too, but thought I would enjoy tea a bit too.
DeleteCheers!
