What do mornings look like for you? Do you want them to look different in 2017?
I know the power of a Good Morning.
Back when I was REALLY HOLY (in high school) I got up at 5:45 to read my Bible and pray for my classmates.
Like I said. #SoHoly
Somehow, as time as gone on, I’m less disciplined, more lazy. (Although my friends have informed me I am more pleasant to be around than Former Super Holy Jessica was…weird.)
At first I blamed the babies.
Well, I’ve stopped being able to use the “I have a waking baby” excuse for Lazy Morning Self because my “baby” is two (sniff, sniff).
Ironically, as my Morning Routine dwindled, the stresses and responsibilities on my life have increased.
MORE PRESSURE.
Maybe you can relate?
I am trying to raise now three little humans. I am the full executor and sole proprietor of their education (which sounds more glamorous than “homeschooling mom”). I run a business, work part-time at church, have a husband who relies on me to run the household (and who seems to prefer if I am not a RAVING STRESS MONSTER when he enters my presence).
All that to say, my days ask a lot of me.
And it’s not just about being cheerful when someone demands their oatmeal. It’s more than that.
I have dreams. And goals. And projects. And a longing for peace and quiet and a little stillness in my life.
I want to start my day better, and direct my life purposefully.
I some of you are the same, because you’ve told me. (Not my sisters…they go to Burn Bootcamp at 5am and then grocery shop and clean all their bathrooms. They’re annoying and we’re not including them here.)
This course is for the rest of us. Who want to do mornings better, and who crave accountability to do so.
Do you want to be more cheerful to your people?
Do you want to feel more peaceful about your day?
Do you want to spend time with God regularly?
Do you have special projects you love, that you struggle to fit in the day?
And most importantly:
Do you want accountability in this area?

It won’t let me subscribe or it did the 20x I’ve tried. Lol. This sounds great!!
Amy! This is quite a weird problem! I am trying to add you back, but it’s not working! I will keep trying. Please email me at jessicasmartt at gmail.com. If nothing else, I’ll send you the printable manually! I’m so sorry about that!
Hi love! So glad I stumbled upon this post! As a fellow blogger just wanted to let you know that your Instagram is coming up as ‘not found’ I tried to follow you, good luck with your challenge! I’m excited to follow along!
I would love to join the Before Breakfast Challenge…what a great way to be encouraged on this journey…but as far as I can tell it is not allowing me to subscribe.
Hi Crystal! I checked, and you are subscribed! 🙂 Happy to have you following along!
Hallo Jesica, What is the costs involved for the Smartter course?
Totally free!
I’m in!
It’s not letting me subscribe! I would love to be a part of this!
Gah!! Why is it doing that!? I added you, Ashley. 🙂
I’d love to join, too! However, I did sign up, but it’s not letting me join.
Amanda, it’s doing this weird thing where it doesn’t give readers a confirm screen 🙁 . BUT I checked and you are joined! You should receive an email in the next day or two.
Great! Thank you for checking!
hi, Jessica,
Thank you for doing this for us; we all need this. I am already a subscriber, will I get the info that I need to be involved. I do NOT have Facebook, but am on Instagram (lovingourjourney). Can I still participate?
*many many blessings*

Absolutely you can participate! I’ll be sharing on all my social media channels. The bulk of the instruction comes through the emails when you’re a subscriber 🙂 The FB group is especially for accountability, so maybe make sure you have an accountability partner if that’s something you might find helpful!
This sounds great! I just joined, but can I do it without Facebook? I’m taking a little break from Facebook, and the email address I signed up for the challenge with will actually go to my husband’s Facebook account…
I’m trying to signup but it says too many sign ups have been received. Can you email me the printable and let me know how to join the FB group? Thanks!
