very *realistic* morning routine w/ two under two

It's It's like 530 Micah is still asleep. Praise God. Wow. I didn't sleep good at all. Did you sleep okay last night? Great I got a full 40 minutes. I think Tori is still asleep with Noah and this is our morning routine with two Under two. I'm so happy He's starting to wake up a little bit There is Tori, Noah And I just realized you're probably wondering why I'm in a different bed than Tori I'll explain that just a little bit. I didn't sleep good last night because There was like tornadoes in the area and a really bad storm between like 12 and like 3 and so I was just waking up and I feel like I was on Like alert mode or like if something were to go down gotta grab the kids gotta get Tori Gotta go to a safe room. And so I was like kind of sleeping like with one eye open So Anyways, but that I'm so happy because yeah, I'll explain guys guys. Let me wake up. Let me wake up then I'll explain let me wake up then I'll explain it's not a word. Okay, let me wake up then I'll explain Okay, good morning So this little excerpt from my every man's Bible from Tyndale just blew my mind it pointed out This like issue that men have classic right where you know How men always want to fix things whenever maybe their spouse is sharing something We just always come up with solutions when maybe they actually just want to be heard or they want to hug and this was all About how wisdom knows how to wait and it used this person from scripture. I'd actually never heard of them They were like one of the leaders of the Sanhedrin I guess this guy actually taught Paul which is just a power move by the way And I just loved how it pointed out how men like to take action, which is great But wisdom will tell them when to wait and so I'm just really enjoying this every man's Bible from Tyndale Okay, so this is the reality of The situation last night food bowls everywhere Laundry boxes need to be taken out stuff everywhere Some of the outdoor couch cushions I had to bring in because of the storms And a very cute baby right there. Yeah Hey, Micah, you want to go outside? Okay, let's go outside There you go You ready? though Micah is the biggest outside kid I've ever met my whole life It's 6 a.m. He just woke up. He hasn't had breakfast. He's already ready to muggle I guess Noah is still passed out in Torrey. And so We typically come out in the mornings To do some grounding because we're weirdos that kind of sort of believe in this though But honestly just to get some fresh air to get the morning light and to not you know Jump into a lot of stress right away. It's really fun I think you got to clean that house and we have to leave here about 730 for a super important appointment Yeah, but this morning's going like so much here I'll sit down and I'll chat with you all just for a few. So the reason That I was so ecstatic this morning, even though I did not sleep good at all I got a full 40 minutes. Yeah, we've been we've been surviving. We've absolutely just been like treading water surviving The reason I am sleeping upstairs is because Okay, so what would happen is is that Micah is in like a 17 month sleep regression I guess and listen You're likely or maybe you know someone who's a parent who's a lot more seasoned than us we're figuring this stuff out But whenever a baby has a developmental progression, like they develop more they're learning more. They're experiencing more They're understanding more. They're they have a sleep regression Mike isn't one of those and it's been It's it's yeah, you understand what I'm saying? So anyways Tory and I are doing the divide-and-conquer method that way we both have a chance to get some sleep because if she's actually doing Good, but then Micah is screaming on the monitor and she can hear it and it wakes her No up then it's not good or if Mike is doing good and Tori's, you know Wrestling with no a little bit then I can get some sleep and wake up with him in the morning and let them sleep in In the morning, so it's just kind of a divide-and-conquer. We don't want to do it forever when I say forever We don't want to do it for more than like a couple weeks, but we're doing what we got to do It looks like last night. Everyone had a good night besides me But like I don't care. I'm so happy about it. Anything else anything else you want to say? Do you need your diaper changed? D It's too wet to get in the grass Yeah, oh Look at this girl. Are you joking me? Bravo what are you doing? What are you doing that for? He is so funny. I Love it Okay Let's go to the trash Let's go, let's go Yeah Good job Yep, take it to the trash Put it in there you can do it. Oh, you want me to do it? Someone's got the hiccups. I'm about to change his diaper And feed him some breakfast. What are those? You want to go see mama? Is that brother How's mommy This is a morning routine, what did people expect? Well speak for yourself someone has cute jammies, so what's the plan Stan? Okay, I'll go get your coffee we've already been outside and played it's coffee time It's coffee time I Gotta clean this kitchen up What am I do? Oh coffee. It's coffee time. It's coffee time Last pod here we go. Oh That's my favorite photo of knowing me it changes the photos But anyways gonna make Tori coffee and then I'm probably gonna try to make this area guys keep in mind I'm I'm almost six two. Okay. Okay six one and a half as they say this Makes me look tiny. I Maybe we should turn the light back off Where are we going? I gotta feed your brother. Oh, I'm sorry I'm going joke with Tori's that she likes some coffee with her creamer Don't judge her. You're probably the exact same way. Let's go Praise God praise God What are you doing? Hey, bubba you bring in Noah you're you're you're oh, hey there I just want to film your first sip My first oh, I hear you bubba I hear you that should be the thumbnail Micah okay. Let's go play. Let's leave them alone. Let's go play if you're parents of a toddler You understand? How the most important or expensive stuff that you have can go missing in places like that it's super cute, but Also kind of hard to do it Love you anyways, I Might set this camera up. I might not You'll know in about two seconds Okay, as I'm sure y'all are Picking up on Morning routine in this season with a little four week old nugget looks Different if you watch the last morning routine that we did I was like 30 something weeks pregnant with a toddler and one of my big things especially in that season was to wake up before my baby and Get my quiet time in but in this season. We kind of wake up together and I'm waking up all through the night. So then like waking up even earlier is just Not really it right now. I feel like I still am trying to navigate what my Routine and schedule looks like for like my quiet time with Jesus. She's wanting to be held right now So I'm gonna go in the kitchen and do exactly that Micah you worshiping? Are you worshiping? So something that without fail always is on in the background for us is either worship music or instrumental worship music etc, because I feel like the atmosphere in the home is just different if there is worship music on or Y'all know that we always put like dappity keys on and scripture pops up, etc But something else a huge tip that I love to share You're trying to get more scripture and throughout the day is leaving your Bible open on your countertop and Just got this new Bible first and foremost. It's beautiful. They have multiple bindings I love the sky blue one. It is on sale right now. It's called the every woman's Bible Kendall just came out with it. Y'all know Kendall comes out with like all my favorite Bibles their filament enabled So pretty much you just like download an app and then you can scan each page for additional resources, etc Which is really really cool. But since my routine it looks so different. I feel like I'm not getting that like 30 minutes of opening scripture and journaling and all the things and now sometimes I do like when both boys are napping at the same time or And Noah's super content and I will prioritize making sure that I can like have my really good quality Quiet time with Jesus, but just in terms of like mornings mornings just can be kind of crazy around here sometimes. I Don't always get that like perfectly Pinterest worthy Quiet time This is actually like a great morning for us. Yeah, this is like the most realistic No, like it's realistic but like we both got some sleep You speak like baby what This kid still feeds like every two hours throughout the night Honestly, he did really well like he didn't wake up and stay awake for an hour plus which was like Kind of the norm last week and so we'll take it but I'm actually gonna hand Okay, so something that I thought was really really cool about this Bible is in So mama can go play with you for two minutes Okay, I'm just gonna do this in the playroom But something I find very very cool about this Bible is in the very beginning It actually has this entire user guide because there's so many different styles of resources inside of this Bible like different devotionals but also different ways to actually dive into scripture and So I have a guy but something else that I find very cool for those of you who are like, I really want To get into the word, but I just don't know where to start They have this page with different prompts on How to get into the word and I thought this was really cool first Start with core relationships and what you hope for so it's like if you want to see how the Bible can guide your relationships Check out the image articles and use the scripture passages They cover and they're devotionals as a place to begin reading and then it literally says you can explore the topics within each sphere When you turn to this page and so then okay. Okay. I'm trying guys And then there's another one that says start with a Bible woman that you would like to know about or Start with how you're feeling. How are you feeling? Start with how you're feeling right now, but come close articles that they have tend to your heart those times We feel uncomfortable can offer us good opportunities for God to make us stronger So then it says turn to this page and look for a topic or theme that speaks to you So it's like different ways to start and then they actually give you like a page to start on which will direct you to a scripture To meditate on which will direct you to a heart-probing question And so I feel like this is just such an amazing study Bible and so we'll link this below you can get on Amazon love love love Tindle Bibles and all the ways that they just make getting into the word easier and yeah, you love them too and also just like beautiful like Such a visual learner. So the fact that this is literally in my Bible is so epic. So anyway, don't play toothbrush you have This is real life y'all do you want to say? Gotta brush our teeth. You want some of the bigger you just wants the cream cheese on top Okay Okay, we gotta get ready you're gonna go get yourself dressed Well, we had 30 minutes to get all four of us ready and in the cars I would say it's a success because our appointment is that You didn't I didn't but like it's still So anyways, our appointment is at 8 and our ETA is 758 So honestly, I feel like refreshing we are and we rarely have to leave the house in the morning We kind of hold bodies And so this was definitely like, uh, you know, we would still be there like trying to get everybody fed Trying to get Tori ready trying to get myself ready and everything, but this is like a nice thing to get us ready faster yeah, now we're out and about Noah's asleep Mike is chilling and That was our morning you guys That was our really rushed. Oh, Mike's not he said he wants to be in it. You want to say hi You say hi. Say hi, bubba. He's chillin Anyways, we love you guys. I'm gonna link that Bible below.
