<p>Starting and ending our day like this has been a total gamechanger during this busy season with so many littles.</p><p>It&#39;s taken tweaking and refining, and we&#39;re still open to feedback on it, but it&#39;s blessed us so much that we just had to share it with you guys.</p><p>This routine gives us time to focus on what&#39;s most important, it allows us to shepherd our children in the way we desire to do so, and it keeps our home running smoothly while staying well-kept. </p><p>We&#39;d love to hear if this inspired you to try something similar! Also let us know what your routine looks like, we&#39;re always looking for ways to improve ours in order to be closer to the Lord.</p><p><strong>In This Episode:</strong></p><p>0:00 Intro</p><p>5:09 The Surprise Blessings of These Habits</p><p>7:40 Why 4:00 AM</p><p>12:42 Before You Say It&#39;s Too Early...</p><p>19:01 The Morning Habits</p><p>24:14 Scripture reading</p><p>29:14 Movement</p><p>39:04 Getting ready</p><p>41:21 The Evening Habits</p><p>48:20 Cleanup Dance Party!</p><p>51:21 Bedtime for Littles</p><p><strong>Resources:</strong></p><p>A Brief Theology of Sleep by John Piper: <a href="https://www.desiringgod.org/articles/a-brief-theology-of-sleep" target="_blank">https://www.desiringgod.org/articles/a-brief-theology-of-sleep</a></p><p>---</p><p>Milena on IG: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/milenaciciotti/" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/milenaciciotti/</a></p><p>AFM+MH on IG: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/asformeandmyhousepodcast/" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/asformeandmyhousepodcast/</a></p><p>Subscribe on Youtube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@asformeandmyhousepodcast/" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/@asformeandmyhousepodcast/</a></p>
