Slow mornings for everyone!

I loved Desirae’s practical tips for creating slow mornings — It reminded me of when I was a brand-new mom living in Alaska. Winters there are no joke — way too cold for a one-year-old to be outside for months on end. Without even realizing it, I was practicing slow living before it was “a thing” — just me, my baby, and a whole lot of presence.

Fast forward to now: my kids are 16, 13, and 10. Seasons have changed, but breakfast together has become our “slow moment.” It’s the one part of the day we can hold onto before the school rush starts and the pace picks up.

Also, her point about being careful with what we add to our calendars? Guilty as charged. I am terrible at saying no… but hearing her frame it as a way to protect peace made me want to try harder.

Just listen to the intro everyday and you’ll be motivated! But then, also listen to the rest. 😂
