Crystal at Biblical Womanhood challenged her readers to Make Our Homes a Haven. She offers a handful of ideas each day and I’ve decided to join in when I can. If you know me, you know I’m a sucker for assignments, so while this is right up my alley, this almost-8-months-pregnant over-achiever will be trying to participate in delightful moderation…

Anyway, for today, we are to come up with a list of 5 things that we’d like to do each morning in the same order. Mine are:

* Kiss my husband

* Get a shower

* Meditate on the Advent readings for the day and pray

* Wake little V with a smile; jump in bed with her; read the Advent Psalms together

* Help her get bathed and dressed for a joyful day!
