Want a glimpse into our lives on a typical Monday?

I have seen a lot of blogs do this and I think it is interesting to see what others are doing.

If you are looking for a fabulous lifestyle read then you need to move onto another blog. We are a very real, very normal family here. 

·         5:15 am – Alarm goes off. Hard wake up because Logan was up at 2:30 am. Yawn!

·         6:45 am – Load of laundry into the washer. Hot tea made, pills taken, fruit eaten for breakfast. Make our bed. (Charlie’s room is under construction so no need to make her bed. Dom is not up yet for the day and he takes care of his and Logan’s room)
