I am not a morning person, not at all! If I had my way I’d sleep in everyday. I am slowly, but surely coming to the conclusion that sleeping in until noon is not real life *sad face* That means that I need to get my act together! And the best way for me to do that is to develop a new routine. I have a deep and abiding love for coffee and cute mugs, so its only natural that I would start my new routine with the best of the best! Its time for me to take back my morning!
First things first: We have to start with the good stuff and in this house the good stuff is Seattle’s Best Coffee Level 5. To make getting up in the morning even easier I’ve been doing all the coffee prep the evening before. Smart Right? Now all I have to do in the morning is push that magic little coffee start button!
Once the coffee is going I pull out one of my favorite mugs. Today it’s all about my adorable teal owl mug. It holds almost 14 oz of delicious coffee 🙂
The next part of my new routine, is taking a little time to plan my day. I’m a big fan of lists and knowing exactly what I need to accomplish through out the day. With out my lists I can pretty much guarantee that I’d forget something. So I grab my perfect coffee in my adorable owl mug, and head to my “morning nook” in the living room.
This is quickly becoming my favorite spot in the house and one of the best parts of my day. I even made myself a new mug rug to go with my new routine 🙂
One of the nice things about taking my morning back with Seattle’s Best Coffee is they are offering a $1.50 off coupons just for taking a quick survey. I used it when I did my weekly shopping at Walmart. The survey is really easy! All they want to know is, “What do you do to take back your mornings?”
I, of course, make my mornings awesome my way. And now that I have, mornings aren’t quite so bad! This new routine is working for me and I am so glad I decided to start it! What are you doing to take back your morning?
