Waking up before my kids.
It’s a total miracle that all 4 of my kids sleep in until about 8:00 a.m. every morning. I get to enjoy a couple of hours all to myself each day in complete, reflective, and productive silence.
Unless we have to run errands early, they make their beds every day, read books and scripture, get ready themselves, practice their music lessons, and help me with daily tasks like watering plants and dishes, cleaning bed frames, and sweeping.
Freedom from the schedule. Mind you, I love my schedules. But to only have my son’s “maybe” nap time as our only scheduled activity most days, is freeing.
