My Husband and I have not used an alarm clock for the entire 14+ years we have been married. We have used our phones on occassion to wake us when we NEEDED to leave an a ridiculous hour, but that is not so often.
Now, there are three alarm clocks in our home – one in each of the children’s rooms. And they are sounding NOW. For the first mandatory git-yer-butt-outta-bed-and-start-the-day day ever. I have VERY mixed emotions about this. And not only revolving around my sincere appreciation of the morning’s quiet as children slowly rise with their own little body clocks. But that’s another post, should I ever blog again.
So, for now, in contribution to Organization Junkie’s Menu Plan Monday, I will super quickly jot down what we’re eating (isn’t this weird to some degree) this week and skedaddle. Because I don’t want my children to remember my face in a screen. I want them to remember my face smiling back at them.

Alarm clocks? At your house?! I don’t believe it. I must see this with my own two eyes!
It is true. But then guess what happened? That COLD! And so we just set alarms again this morningvfor the first time in a week. I miss my very quiet mornings, but I adore being done with work by 930a! Well, done with MY part of lessons…
I love that you want to greet them in the morning being fully involved in them!
You are a great momma !
You are pretty amazing yourself, lady!
