Morning Routine


One thing about a morning routine is that is doesn’t matter if you are a stay at home mom, working mom, single, etc. A morning routine is a great way to start the day. 

When I started this whole mom thing, I was determined to still have my morning time. As a stay at home mom I craved the quietness of the mornings, and needed it to prepare myself for the busy day ahead while enjoying a little something to eat. I began setting my alarm for 6AM daily, and enjoying the stillness of the house. Luckily, I am the person who has always loved mornings, I’ve rarely slept in past 8:30AM–however, you will find me taking a quick cat nap daily. I’ve got three tips for you ro start a morning routine this new year.

1. Make Time For Yourself


When I wake up at 6, I turn the coffee pot on and brew a hot cup of coffee. I don’t typically have time to drink coffee after the boys wake up as our day starts getting busy, so coffee before allows me to finish it before it gets cold. After my coffee, I typically have about 30 minutes of alone time, I spend it reading some of my favorite blogs and preparing for the day ahead. Carson and I usually have something going on in the morning so this is the easiest time to get ready for what we have planned for the day.

2. Find What Works For You


I know that making lunches isn’t ideal for everyone in the morning, but it works for me. I always have the next days school clothes picked out, and shoes set out next to it. The backpack and lunch box are waiting by the door and ready to go so nothing is forgotten. Waiting until the morning to prepare these things makes me feel rushed–it works for me, find what works for you.

3. Eat Breakfast


Each morning I cook up a hot breakfast for my growing boys. I typically cook this up quickly, but for the days I don’t feel like making dishes  before 7AM I have Jimmy Dean Simple Scrambles®. I found this delicious scrambled egg meal next to the bacon at Walmart. I love that this two egg breakfast that offers protein in the form of sausage, bacon, or both. Which both of my boys love. I love the Jimmy Dean Simple Scrambles® for myself as they are protein rich and have no carbs.

Before I found out about Jimmy Dean Simple Scrambles® I would grab a granola bar or some overnight oats and eat them in the school drop off line. I now get to enjoy my own hot breakfast including, 2 already scrambled eggs, bacon or sausage, and cheese. It takes all of 2 minutes to make which is about the time I need to put Bennett’s shoes on.

Head to your local Walmart and pick up your favorite Jimmy Dean Simple Scrambles® to help you with your morning routine!

Next time you get ready to potty train don’t let Next time you get ready to potty train don’t let ANYONE tell you that one gender is easier than the other. Kids are kids and they each have their own personality. My daughter is very much into doing things herself without help—so potty training had to be done by her not the experts (myself). I used the same potty training technique that I used with the boys, and it did take a bit longer for her to get it—but that’s because she took what I told her to do and did her own thing. 🤣 The next big step? Moving to a big girl bed. I’m not ready. 😭
Ok smoothie, ice cream—it’s all the same thing Ok smoothie, ice cream—it’s all the same thing. Elevate your @corepower drink by using the @ninjakitchen Creami. To prep my ice cream I pour my drink into the container the night before with some bananas. The next morning it’s ready, I mix it twice on lite ice cream. If it seems like it’s not mixing well just add a splash of milk. I typically like to add Lilly’s Chocolate Chips, but they were missing so I found the marshmallows and said whatever and threw some in. I then mixed it on “mix in” and it seriously tastes like a frosty. It is delicious!
