What do you look forward to each morning?
Peeking in on my kids as they sleep, it’s so precious. Also, lots of dog and cat snuggles first thing. They are a natural alarm clock! I love how our cats and dog follow me downstairs to be fed when I get it up, it’s really cute. I take the dog outside when I get up in the morning and when I do, I enjoy seeing the weather first-hand. Is it cloudy or is it clear, windy, calm, raining, snowing, cold or not?
