When I was a little girl, we had a picture book called Animal Tales. One of those tales was about a pig. It professed that little pigs that went to bed early, and rose early would keep their tails curly. (Looking back, it sounds like a bit of a ploy to get one’s children to sleep early. Then again, no one wants their children to rise too early, do they?)
Yep, he’s another one of those proponents of early to bed, early to rise. He has 210,000 subscribers to his blog, so maybe he’s on to something. He’s also a man with six kids, so I figure if he can do it, maybe I can too.
Maybe. Not sure it’s something I want to work on yet. But, the article tempts me with it’s promise of a glorious hour of sipping tea and reading a book, watching the sunrise.
When you think about it that way, who wouldn’t be tempted?
Hi! I’m Kelly Woods, writer, mother & librarian. I write about beauty, creativity, green living and lifestyle design to help others live a life of inspiration, too.
i totally love those mornings when i am up and ready before the kids, enjoying the peace of the morning before the craziness starts up again. but even with the experience of how lovely that time can be, i still can so rarely motivate myself out of the comfort of the morning blankets.
Oh the blankets.
I love that article!! If I wasn’t so close to having another baby, I’d start getting up earlier tomorrow! Something tells me that the months after a baby is born is the wrong time to try and wake up early though. 🙂 I’m thinking quite the opposite, actually!
So, anyway, I’ve found your blog, Kelly! I hope you don’t mind me checking by often. I like your musings!
