Day 27 -28 Learn To Rise Early in 30 Days

My surpise for the morning for Day 27

Day 27- I was up by 5:30 and I picked up Wawa coffee creamer. It was nice to have in the morning. I don't normal spend more that $1 on creamer so this is a special treat.
Andy talk about things you don't like. Honestly there is not a thing I can think about in my life right now that I don't like. Here is the thing, if I don't like it I speck up. I have an amazing husband and awesome daughter. I love my job. The other things in life work themselves out. I believe in God and that he has a plan and I pray when times are tough. Right now we are happy and health.
Andy's tip- buy a small gift for someone you had a conflicted in the past.
I will do that tomorrow anyway. I'm talking Cass out to plants for her stepmother and her dad for Easter. I believe you should put things in the past and move each day to be a better one.

My drive to work on Day 28

Day 28- praying
I got up at 5:30 on Wednesday. Today I have work and I do my couponing with my little man. It gets use out of the house. Cass has off school and will be enjoin us.
Andy talked about praying. This is something I do everyday. I pray about everything, big or little. I believe God will listen about everything.
Andy's tip - think about a treat on the last day.
I think about it but still not sure, I didn't do very well with this, so I don't think it will be anything huge.

Time I was up on Day 29

Day 29- don't be average
During this post he writes about his birthday and how to challenge yourself. I challenge myself all the time. Getting up before I normal do, is a huge challenge.
Andy'sTip- share your writing
I have been doing that daily with you guys.

Day 26 of LearnHow to Rise Early

Today I got up by 5:30am. I was very helpful being able to get up early. I ended up having to run to the grocery store this morning. I plan dinner but didn't have the cream of chicken soup. I also got to get my face book page up and moving. If I would have gotten up on a normal tip, I would have not been able to go to the store.

Andy Action tip - get something special for breakfast for tomorrow morning.

Andy talked about this journey being a lonely one. I am lucky because I have you guys to go though this journey with me! I want to thank Money Saving Mom for setting up this goal for me.

What am I going to have tomorrow morning? You are going to have to wait and see! How are you doing on your early to rise challenge? Let me know

Day 25 of Learn To Rise Early in 30 Days


Today I end up getting up around 7am. I knew I had off today and was alone all day today. I made breakfast for my little one and put her one the bus. I love Monday mornings, because me and Cass get one on one time.

Andy Action Tip~ Tell people you are getting up early.
I try to get up early and know that when I do it effects my life in positive ways. I get time to blog and enjoy my blogging with out cutting off time with my family. On days I work I like t be up by 5am, and days I'm off around 7am. This gives me time to work without bothering anyone.

The 5 people I'm telling
1. Hubby
2. You guys
3. My mother
4. My boss
5. My best friend

Who are you sharing your journey with?

Day 23 of Learn To Rise Early in 30 Days



Early To Rise: Learn To Rise Early in 30 Days [Kindle Edition]

Today I woke up before Siri at 7:20. I hung out in bed with Hubby and the dog until 8:00am when my little one got up. I didn't rush to get my coffee (for one thing I’m out of creamer and knew I had to buy my coffee today) nor did I rush to write on my blog. Why? I knew today hubby and I won't see each other until 6ish, and I want to spend some time just enjoying him. We had fun just playing with the dog. Also I thought I would be stuck at my daughter’s school for 5 hours and have more time to write.

Andy Action Tip ~ Write 1,000 words a day so you can write a book

Right now I'm just getting use to writing a blog. I would love to write a book one day. Right now I want to use my morning time working on the blog. At some point in my life a book would be nice. Just not right now.

How are you doing in getting up early? What is your goal time for tomorrow? Mine is 7am.


Day 21 of Learn To Rise Early in 30 Days

Siri won today

Siri won today. I did not want to get up, I did though but wasn't a big fan of it. I was over sleep, but once I started moving I felt better! I know this is a life changing event but I don't know if I ever will look at the morning and choose to wake up early instead of staying up and watching a movie with my husband.

I have learn from reading Andy but is family should be 1 on your list. I understand taking time for yourself. I do that but I'm not going to miss out on the time with my family.

Last night I stay up until 11:30 watching a movie with my hubby. Lying in bed and just cuddling. I could have rolled over and went to bed. But I decide sleeping in was better then getting up at 5:30am.

Andy action tip - Smirking
I am smirking this morning. I'm smirking that even though I didn't beat Siri up, I did get up 10 mins later and kept my day going.

How are you doing on this challenge? Are you getting up earlier and is it easier?

20 day of Learn To Rise Early in 30 Days



I won

After a hard day and amazing night (I have the best hubby in the world!). I decided not to set an alarm. Yes it was crazy but hubby leaves the house at 5:20am. I knew he would wake me up and I would have to get up because there was no alarm.

Andy passage, about quiet made sense, it is nice to be in quiet but it is hard. I’m going to give myself 10 minutes of quiet today at naptime. See what happens, I don’t know if I can do it.

Andy Action tip- turn of the radio in the car. I personal cannot do that. The music helps me relax, I’m driving during rush hour and people are not the smartest. I cannot go to work even a little stressed.

How are your mornings going? Are you getting up early?

I am still working though my book. This weekend, I didn't focus on it because we are still trying to finish redoing our bathroom.

Day 7 of Learn To Rise Early in 30 Days

My Little One and Me

Ugh No coffee, I forgot to pull my creamer out of the freezer. I have creamer at work, but this morning is going to be long until I get there. I got up great this morning, but I made a huge mistake and something Andy says not to do. I looked at my text, yep that ate about an hour of my time, think and worry about it. Hmmm I need to not do that again.

Did I talk to Siri? ~ Yes I did, I told her today was Friday. It is my Friday today, I don't have work tomorrow.

Andy passage was great one today. One person to make a habit at one choice at a time, I agree with that. Getting up isn’t always easy, and it might get easier by the end of this month. It still comes with my choice to go to bed and wake up early.

I download Lift to my phone and set up the setting! I love that this app is free; I did not download his alarm clock app, because it cost money.

My Lift App

Did you download your Lift app? Do you think it will help you stay on track? How did you do with getting up early?
