Mommy Morning Routine

My mommy Routine starts with... Morning Coffee

My current mommy routine is pretty consistent. Moose wakes up around 7am and his first babbles usually wake me up. This begins my mommy morning routine. I will usually lay in bed for a few minutes and think about everything we have planned for the day, I will say some positive affirmations to myself and then roll out of bed. And let us be honest, I am also thinking about my morning coffee!

I always make my bed first thing in the morning as it starts my day off with an accomplishment. Once I have done this, gotten dressed and washed my face, I will make my way to the coffee machine. I need my coffee quick so if I haven’t set my coffee maker the night before then I will just use my kettle for instant coffee. While my kettle is brewing, I will make Moose his breakfast or a morning snack. Sometimes I eat breakfast, but most times I will eat about an hour after we wake up.

Time to get Moose

Around this time, it’s about 730 and I go get my amazing little bundle, I think he enjoys this time by himself in the morning. He always greets me with a smile and on the rare occasion he doesn’t, I know he must not be feeling well. Once I get him changed and dressed for the day we head down for breakfast and coffee. The rest of the morning looks like this…

Play time and reading books (current favorite toy is squigz and book is “brown bear, brown bear, what do you see?“)
Morning walk and time at the park
Mommy breakfast and Moose snack
Creative activity (finger painting, coloring, helping make smoothies/lunch, etc.)

Typically, around 930 we just start going with the flow until lunch. I feel it is important to have routine, but I also feel it important to let Moose have a choice in what he wants to do. Of course, I guide him, for example if he gets cranky, I know we need another snack or outside time. Luckily, we presently live in Florida where it is pretty sunny most of the time and we are able to spend a lot of time outside with friends.

Lunch

We almost always eat lunch together at the same time, 1130ish. Stay tuned for some toddler approved lunches. After lunch Moose will go down for a nap. During this time, I always make sure to take at least 30 minutes to an hour to myself to do what I want. Some days that’s catching up on a show, other days that is reading a book.
