(Sharing an option you didn't ask for so feel free to delete) - A new to me tool my husband got for our house - it's called the Brick and it's a block that I tap to block certain apps (i.e. social media for me) and I physically have to go to the brick to unblock them (it's on our microwave in the kitchen). So I've taken to "bricking" my phone during the work day or evening hours when my scrolling is the worst and i still need my phone for other reasons. https://getbrick.app/why
I don’t have window treatments on my bedroom windows either but that’s more because we don’t have window TRIM. Mr. Fixit (my husband) stopped short of finishing the job after replacing the windows. But I actually like waking up to natural light. Better than the alarm. My first coffee without speaking is a must and a high protein breakfast is a must before I start work at 9. No house meeting as my husband is usually getting ready for work when I wake up plus the no talking rule.
house meeting is the best. love that. we do sunday night planning which is kind of stupid in a sense that it takes a little bit of time away from the weekend but makes us sleep better and feel prepped for the week I dunno...
I have pretty much the exact same morning routine. It’s just hubby and I and our two pups. We call our morning meetings, “Wishes and Dreams”. It includes the usual To Do List of things but also includes something lighter and fun— like a special treat, going to the bookstore, maybe a bike ride or just a small joy that makes the regular day feel more special. It’s interesting to hear what’s on each other’s daily wish list. It’s a nice check in with each other.
I love hearing your morning routine, Katie! I am a night owl through and through so I am impressed by those who can start their mornings strong. I too am on my phone too much in the morning. It's something I want to work on this summer!
LOVE a house meeting! My bf and I do this and we don't have a name for it so I hope you don't mind if I copy yours. But YES a little chat to synch up in the morning is so helpful to feel organized throughout the day! Also TOTALLY agree that even one minute of meditation is helpful!
Excuse me this English muffin + cream cheese + everything bagel seasoning thing just changed my life. I just so happened to have all 3 in my house this morning and just ate it for breakfast. ten out of ten. Thank you for sharing so I could steal!

Love this not speaking rule. Genius!
Summer in Maine--sounds perfect! Does your coffee maker do laundry too? It's pretty damn impressive!

I like seeing this window into your morning routine! I'm all for house meetings! Makes a lot of sense to me. And I'm going to check out the Brick app!
I am so obsessed with Home Joe and Morning Meetings and have implemented it in our household too!!
Nothing better!!!!!!
Realizing lately, thank you gurus out there, how important light in my eyeballs is, so I very much get this mind set!
I LOVE getting a more intimate look in to your routine. I am horrible at routine and I need to be better.
On a side note, if you and John ever want to adopt at woman in her late 40s, hit me up!
