I think a lot about anchoring and ways that I can give our family a sense of rhythm since we are pretty much adrift most of the time. Sure, I love to make schedules. I just don't like to follow them.
The chalkboard door in our kitchen has been getting daily use lately, especially in the morning as I'm making breakfast. First Mate has taken it upon himself to write the name of the day every morning. This was totally his idea, not mine. The erased part above is where I originally wrote "Friday" so he could copy it.
I've come to love this daily changing art display in our kitchen and how it now anchors our mornings along with the usual stuff like breakfast and getting dressed.
What anchors your mornings?
