School started yesterday and well...we're off! Alex and Natalee were so excited they couldn't think straight. I made a resolution that if I can't be in school then I would put the same amount of effort into being a mom as I did being a student- so every day (I am on day 2) I have made a list of what needs to be done. First off...NO TV in the morning. I can't believe how much more we get done and how much less bickering is taking place. Oh...its music to my ears. Anyway, I get up at 6.45a with Alex and we read scriptures... then he goes to clean his room and I make breakfast...we actually eat breakfast as a family. After breakfast everyone gets dressed, brushes their teeth and tidies rooms... I make lunches and we listen to Disney Channel music, read books and hang out until its time to go to the bus. It makes for a nice morning. So far, so good! I hope I can keep it up...the atmosphere in the morning is so much more pleasant. Here are some pics of the first day of school. So much fun!

Your back to school layout is soo cute! Where do you get most of your digital elements? Do tell. :)
What a great way to start the day! Keep up the good work Lilli! Paije
Love your morning schedule! I think I need to try a personal schedule, too! You would think as a grandma I'd get so much more done! Not necessarily true! Keep it up!
I love your morning routine. What a good idea. I don't watch a lot of t.v. but I get on the computer a lot.
