Everyone wants to have a great day, but how do we do it? Here is a simple recipe.
Step 1 (5 minutes): Read and Pray
Start off with time with Jesus. Read this and thank Him for the gifts in your life. Ask for wisdom as you look to the day ahead.
Step 2 (5 minutes): Decide What Great Looks Like
1. What would a successful day today look like? (cleaning out the closet, playing with your kids, finishing a project)
2. Pick one.
Imagine what would make you lay your head down at night thinking, “Wow. That was a great day.” You can probably make a long list of things that would take less than an hour or two.
Step 3: Go Do It
The entire day is ahead of you. Do the amazing and don’t get sidetracked by the mundane. Yes, it’s important to do dishes, but not at the expense of making memories with your children or doing something truly meaningful.
For every distraction that arises, ask yourself if it is more important than your goal. If the answer is no, it can wait.
Now, go be awesome!

Making time to connect with another stay at home mamma like myself. That is my goal for today!
love this recipe! miss you, friend!!
simple and to the point. I like this. When things are simple, people are more apt to follow them.
Good advise as usual Kat.
It is my recipe for having a great start. . . But at the moment I have a very big problem . . … my two little grils have a lot of sleep problem… so I am very slepp deprived and as a consequence very nervous during the day.
Oh my I love this!
It’s a wonderful way to start my day.
Today I’m gonna to a much need head to toe cleaning of the kitchen. I’ve been lagging on it and doing the minimal.
This is just what I needed to read this morning! Thank you for your simple, practical encouragement!
One thing to make today a great day…..finding one full box of stuff to take out of my house and to Goodwill. One box closer to my goal of a peaceful home!
I so agree with this post. I find that when jump out of bed and just start going I end up finishing the day wonder “what exactly did I do?” Where as if I take the time to read the word, pray and gather focus and then write out a to do list, I end the day going “wow look at all I got done!’
Yes, it’s this simple!! I forget sometimes. :p
I take pleasure in, cause I found just what I was taking a look for.
You’ve ended my four day lengthy hunt! God Bless you man. Have a nice day. Bye
