5:35 am. I don’t think I’ve slept past 5:35 am in four and a half years. True story.

My kiddos are early risers and at first it was hard. Like, “oh-my-gosh-little-people-you-are-killin’-me”. But after about year three, I kind of got used it it. (Yes, it took three-ish very exhausted years for this to become my ‘normal’).

I typically go through the same morning routine every single day.

1. Get coffee in hand asap
2. Make the kids’ eggs
3. Turn on Disney Jr and try to sneak in 15 minutes ‘getting ready’

Getting ready meaning brush my teeth, wash my face, put my hair in a messy ponytail. Maybe, JUST MAYBE, a swipe of mascara if I’m lucky. And pants, don’t forget pants.

But lately I’ve been trying to relax a bit more during weekend mornings the mornings. It helps that my boys aren’t babies anymore and they will entertain themselves a bit before saying ‘mom’ 215 times for breakfast requests.
