Sleep

October: I don’t have much control of my sleep at 36+ weeks pregnant and when the baby comes I definitely will NOT have control of my sleep! So my goal for October is to keep my daughters well-rested. I would like them in bed at or before 8:00 every night. I am contemplating moving this earlier. – The girls sleep was a success in October!

November: Haha! Sleep. Baby boy was born late October…

If you have trouble making sleep a priority, check out these helpful resources: 

• Sleep It Does a Family Good – book
• Make Over Your Mornings – eCourse
• How to Create a Morning Routine – printable worksheets that I created
• Your Morning Manual: A Guide & Workbook for Resetting & Maximizing Your Mornings – eBook

November Home Goals

• Enjoy newborn snuggles and get him sleeping stretches at night.
• Spend one-on-one time with the older kiddos. There have already been a few struggles, so I want to make sure the older two are still getting quality attention from me.
• Get my kindergartner to school on time. You may laugh at that goal, but 8 AM drop-offs won’t be easy on me with a newborn at home. If there is ever a morning that all 3 children are sleeping at 7 AM, I will be very sad to have to wake them all up and get up myself!
• November Mini Goal: Be thankful and look for joyful moments. Record the moments in my Mom’s One Line a Day book each day.
