MORNING ROUTINE | SAHM with kids | 2018

What's up guys. I did not film an intro. So we are literally just jumping right into this. I usually wake up around seven, seven 30. It really just depends, but I try to wake up around that every morning. And the first thing I like to do is to get some food for the soul in. So I always start out by reading scriptures and saying my prayers before I will look at my phone or really before I will do anything. The next thing I like to do is open my curtains that just sheds a little bit more light into our room. Our room is always really dark. I always have to have lots of light on if I'm ever filming in here cause it is really dark. And then of course I make my bed. I make sure to make my bed before I will leave the room. Next I will go and wash my face. This is a new habit of mine. I've really learned how bad it is for our skin to just wake up and put makeup on. Our body releases a lot of toxins while we sleep and to just cover it with makeup is a huge reason why people get acne or get any kind of skin problem. So I really try to make sure to really clean my face before I put any makeup on in the morning. Next I'm just going to make myself some breakfast and today is my favorite eggs and oats. That's pretty typical. Something I like to do is I've always made my oats in a cup. I don't know why, but I've always done it like that. So I just steamed the water for 30 seconds and then I dump a packet of oats in it and I forgot to put that in there. But the other thing I like to do while I eat breakfast is I like to listen to a spiritual devotional. So that's what I'm watching today. I really just like to get my morning off to the right start and I feel like doing spiritual things for me personally is the best way to do that. Another new habit me and Thomas have been doing. We squeeze half a lemon into a glass and then fill it with water and that's how we start our day. We feel so much more energized. So Thomas was off at the gym this morning. He goes at about six, six 30, sometimes earlier, but he leaves the other half of the lemon that he had a glass and some water for me to make sure I get this down. It's not the yummiest drink, but I really have felt a difference in my energy levels and I feel like it's a better way than starting my day off with caffeine. Next I will just go and tidy up any areas of the house. Usually the living room is pretty messy from the night before. I don't really clean that the night before. The kitchen is something I focus on at night. That's another routine. I could get out for you guys if you're interested in seeing our evening routine. Next I will just do my everyday makeup, which is just a little bit of foundation. Always got to get my brows on. Um, lately I've been gluing on some false lashes and then some lip gloss. This is usually when Ezra will wake up and the first thing he likes to do is take a bath. Notice that's the first door that he went to. He walks straight to the door cause he knows what's coming. He always picks out his favorite toys and he will throw them in the tub. I think it's the cutest thing ever. So that's him picking out his toys. The only way I can get Ezra to stop crying when I turn off the water cause he loves it is to stick these little letters and numbers all over him and he thinks it's the funniest thing, but it really distracts him. So he stopped screaming when I turned the water off cause I instantly go and stick these all over him and that is a little trick for us. Next we go and get him all lotioned up and dressed for the day and of course brush those lovely locks of his. Um, I know a lot of people have been saying, are you guys ever going to cut his hair? We've never cut it. We've always wanted our little boys to have a little bit longer shaggy hair. We think it's so cute when they're this young. Um, we probably will cut it here soon cause it's getting a little bit long. But um, Simon and Cohen's hair, they have so many cowlicks. We were really never able to grow their hair out and have it look normal. Next we go on to feed Ezra and he still loves these baby food jars. They're a great supplement to make sure he's still getting vegetables and fruits in besides other things that he likes to snack on. But yeah, this is usually what we feed him for breakfast. After he's done eating, we like to go in his room and I'll read him his book. He's really been into this book lately. So this is a book he always grabs, but we'll read this book and then he'll just play with a few of his toys in his room and just kind of let him chill out a little bit before the twins wake up. It's almost like without fail, the twins will wake up about an hour after Ezra does. And so it's actually pretty nice cause I can get all the things done with him that I need to. First thing we do with them is feed them breakfast. And then while they're eating breakfast, I like to come in and get one load of laundry done or folded. I did share this in my video that was the 10 habits or tips for a clean home and I'll have that linked right here and below in the description box if you're interested in seeing that. But yeah, this is something that I like to do first thing in the morning to get it out of the way. Um, and then we kind of start our day off with no laundry in the laundry room and I love being able to stay up on top of it like that. After the boys are done getting dressed, then I like to do their hair and get their teeth brushed. They do brush their teeth on their own, but I do like to make sure to get their back teeth really good and then I let them do the rest. Right after this, it's usually time for Ezra to go down for his nap. And then right after all of this is done, that's usually when I will head off to the gym. Thank you guys so much for watching. If you're interested in seeing an evening routine, let me know below in the comment and we'll see you guys next time. Bye.
