My Morning Printable Checklist & Seattle’s Best Coffee

Apr 282013

I was recently asked to share how I am taking back my mornings with Seattle’s Best coffee. So a little back story to this is that taking back my mornings is something I have been doing my best to work at because I am not a morning person. Not at all. So usually I’m hitting the snooze button about 3-4 times and moving at a snail’s pace. Mornings are just not for me and if it wasn’t for coffee I probably wouldn’t make it through a morning! To help take back my mornings so that I’m ready to start my day early I’ve been working at completing a checklist with the kids every night before we go to bed.

Our checklist includes:

Having homework done and put away
Backpacks ready to go by the door
Lunches Packed
Showers done the night before
Keys in the “ready” spot (because sometimes I misplace them)
Clothes laid out and ready to go
Coffee programmed for the morning

To help keep us on track, I created a printable checklist:

A few other things I’m doing for myself to take back my mornings:

Enjoy coffee with my iPad to check the latest overnight happenings
Go running after taking the kids to the bus stop
Popping in a load of laundry and doing a quick sweep of the house so I don’t have to look at it with angst later

Speaking of coffee, I needed to stock up on more coffee so I went to my local Walmart Neighborhood market to grab a couple bags of Seattle’s Best and 2 bags of pod coffee for my single serve coffee maker.

I love a medium brew coffee, nothing too dark and nothing too light. This was a perfect blend for me!

Did you know you could share how you are taking back your mornings and try your luck at winning a bag of Seattle’s Best coffee instantly? It’s true! Even if you don’t win, you will still receive a $1.50 off printable coupon.

Getting Fit w/ Motivation: Printable Subway Art & Pinterest

It’s been quiet on the blog this week as I’ve been busy at work, listing new things in my Etsy store, increasing my workout routine not to mention spending time with the Little Clevers. It’s amazing how quick a week can go!

But don’t worry, I won’t leave you hanging! Earlier this week in a post I talked about how I used to be a massage therapist, well I also went to school for personal training. It was all part of a master plan to create a business I loved, unfortunately the falling off of a horse and severe chronic back pain changed my future. But none the less I still keep all of the personal training knowledge in my head for personal use. When my son was around 3, I committed to loosing the baby fat finally and lost over 30 pounds by just diet and exercise. While I have managed to keep most of the weight off, I would still like to lose a few more pounds along with just maintaining a fitness routine.

So I’ve upped my exercise routine and I’m back too running. Well jogging. Okay walking really fast and some jogging in there. But I’m committing to it along with eating better.

I’ve hit up Pinterest and started a Clean Eating board which you can follow along here: http://pinterest.com/CleverPirate/lean-and-clean-recipes/

I’ve also started a Fitness Board Here: http://pinterest.com/CleverPirate/get-fit-or-die-trying/

Just in case you need a little more motivation, I created the free Subway Art printable above: http://cleverpinkpirate.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/NOPAIN.pdf

So one of the next posts you will see from me will be me all muddy as I’ll me doing the LoziLu Mud Run this weekend! Wish me luck!
