Morning Routine of a Full Time Employee and Mom

How nice is it to wake to the sound of birds singing, or to feel the warmth of the sunrise cascading over your bed in the morning? I would genuinely like to know. It sure does sound nice.

Instead, I wake up somewhere between 5:00 and 6:00 in the morning to a crying child. She is by far the best alarm clock! She never lets me over sleep.

I get out of bed and go change my daughter’s diaper. We go out to the living room, where she plays. Thank goodness I was blessed with a fairly independent youngster. While she plays, I get dressed for work and pick her clothes for the day. Next, I make her and me breakfast.

Once we are done eating I finish getting my hair and face ready. For my makeup routine click here.  After I am ready for the day, I dress my kiddo. I do this after breakfast because she is a very messy eater. Then, I make sure our fish and dog are fed and medicated.

Next, I make my bed. This makes me feel so much more productive during the day. Lastly, I start a load of laundry and run the dishwasher. Done and out the door! Then it’s off to daycare, and work.

Here is my morning checklist:

~ Make bed

~ Get dressed

~ Laundry

~ Load/Empty the dishwasher

~ Drink water

~ Breakfast for me

~ Feed the fish and the dog

~ Give doggy his medication

~ Little one’s breakfast

~ Dress the kiddo for daycare

This list is not in any particular order, as my order changes. If any of you have a good morning routine, I would love to hear it! Leave your comments below.
