Rise and Shine is my way of starting the day with you – almost as if we’re chatting over a hot cup of coffee or tea! I share my favorite deals of the day, highlights from yesterday, and anything else that might help you save time, money or energy. Published in the morning on Monday through Friday – as I’m able.
Good morning! Well yesterday was awesome! We spent the morning out in our front yard watching the eclipse – such a thrilling experience! Truly amazing. Did you watch the eclipse?
After watching the eclipse (complete with popcorn for kids and coffee for the adults), we did some chores around the house and then went car shopping. We gave our older car away at the beginning of the summer to someone who needed it more than we did. So we’ve been a one-car family since early June and for the most part it’s worked out fine. . but with school and sports schedules starting this week, we needed a second vehicle. We did a lot of negotiations over email and I contacted multiple dealerships to find the best bargain – including leveraging the offers and negotiating to get what I felt was a really strong deal. It’s never fun to buy a car – but with lots of research, good financial planning and patience I feel like it doesn’t have to be a terrible experience.
Then my son had his first ever football practice! By the time we got home last night – we were exhausted! I was in bed by 10, which is early for me these days, which means I was ready to roll at 6 a.m. this morning – and I’m feeling grateful for the good night’s rest. I’m going to try and be better about going to bed early and waking up early – gets my day off to a much better start.
Speaking of getting the day off to a good start. . . .My kiddos start school in exactly 2 weeks so I spent some of the morning going over the school supply list, confirming bus schedule and printing our our morning schedule. I shared our morning schedule last year and we’ll be doing it again this year. I love having a schedule because it keeps my kids on track without me having to be a task master all morning. They learn time management and we get out the door early with few surprises or stress.
