Thumping blasting music and me in a good mood.
We struggled with morning chores, goodness, mornings in general and chores just because all families get in ruts with chores...they are boooooooooooooring!
so.
we would have breakfast
and for a week or so, I would be the one to initiate what we called freeze out!
The windows would open, doors open and our little stereo would be blasted for 10 minutes tops, as the chores were done!
It is pure delightful. After the 6th day, I hadn't put on the music, one of my girls asked if she could!
It so sets the tone for the day. Homeschool can get monotonous, and switching it up is a joy!

added note:
we would also take Life Skills day and together (4 kids at the time) we would clean house all day. Everyone had a room and as we finished we moved to help the others. By lunch we would be done, and choice of a soda was our reward! Same thing, loud loud music and freezing cold...lol
the cold is my weird quirk, to clean out the air.
