181. Our Summer Morning Routines: What We Do Differently

We often talk about the seasons in life that we experience. These can be BIG events like having a baby, moving to a new state, or even experiencing a loss. Then again, seasons can have a slight change. For example, renovating a part of your home, taking on a new role at work, or saving towards a new car or vacation. 
The point is that these seasons cause us to make some changes in our daily routines. As we get into summer, chances are your daily routines are going to change. And one of our favorite pastimes is watching the routines of others so that we can find new things to incorporate. In this episode we are sharing our summer morning routine that will help to energize and keep you active this summer season.
