![]() He does like to drink a cup of milk shortly after he gets up. Occasionally he’ll even eat some turkey slices with string cheese. Sometimes he’ll eat yogurt, but a lot of times he’ll make himself a peanut butter sandwich or a bowl of Easy Mac. Mason is a non-traditional breakfast kid. My favorite is spinach, unsweetened almond milk, banana, 1/4 of an avocado, 1/8 cup rolled oats, strawberries, and fresh pineapple. ![]() I make one the night before and drink it post-workout while I’m getting ready. Go-to morning breakfast for yourself & child: Other days Reid is cranky, Mason is putzy, or something just goes horribly awry. This is obviously an ideal day, and sometimes we win in all categories. It helps Reid to stay motivated to get out the door! We need to leave at 7:15 so that I can drop Mason off at middle school and Reid off at preschool before I head into work. Mason is also great about helping Reid get his shoes on - they “race” to see if they can get their shoes on before I’m done with my coffee and water bottle duties. While they do that, I pour my coffee, fill my water bottle, and make sure Reid’s bag is ready for preschool. Then he either snuggles in my bed while I finish getting ready, plays in the living room, or hangs out with his brother.Īt 7:00, I help Reid get dressed and the boys brush their teeth together in the bathroom (Reid used to resist brushing his teeth, but if he sees big brother do it, he wants to do it, too). :-) We are at the tail-end of potty-training, so I usually make sure to get Reid on the toilet right away. Like Mason, he needs a bit of time to wake up and move at his own pace. We used to wait until 6:45, but that’s just not enough time for him. Then he makes his own lunch and makes sure his backpack is ready.Īfter I wake Mason up I continue getting ready (makeup, hair). Mason usually wakes Reid up between 6:00 and 6:30. After he showers, he makes his own breakfast. Even though he doesn’t NEED to be up that early, he’s a kid who needs to take his time getting ready in the morning - he doesn’t like to rush. I’ve Pinned a bunch of exercises on Pinterest, so I never get bored! I jump in the shower around 5:30. I have a kettlebell, resistance bands, and a stability ball. If I have the boys, I exercise in my bedroom. If it’s a morning I don’t have the boys, I go the clubhouse and use the exercise facility - usually free weights or a cardio routine. I’m separated from my husband and going through a divorce, so right now I live in an apartment and we share custody of our kids 50/50. I’ve been exercising early in the morning since Mason, my oldest, was a baby. What time do you need to be out the door? During the school year, 7:15 a.m. during the school year (yes, I go to bed early - ideally by 9:00 or 9:30 p.m.) What time do you get up?Between 4:00 and 4:30 a.m. Put shoes, backpack and a note reminding us of anything special or unique by the door. It’s fast and easy and doesn’t take too much time to prepare. We almost always have a smoothie or cereal with almond milk. Take the train to school, drop off, mom gets coffee or takes train / walks home or to studio and starts the day! Go-to morning breakfast for yourself & child: Other times, eat first, then walk dog, then get all the school gear ready to go and leave apartment. ![]() Then, walk and feed dog (Frank, the beagle) and little lady can eat breakfast on the walk sometimes. On days with meetings or fancier events, I make sure to shower the night before to limit morning to-dos. :) For me, it’s usually easy to get dressed because I have a “painting uniform” of clothing that I can get messy while working at the studio. Get myself dressed first, then help the little lady work through her fashion emergencies. What time do you need to be out the door? need to be AT school by 8am. What time do you get up? 6:30 and snooze a little bit. We also shared 20 Tips For Getting Your Kids Out The Door In The Morning Here Name: Megan Elizabeth of Art by Megan This is a long post, but it’s worth the read! I’m anxious and nervous about this big change but also worried about how I’ll manage to get all 3 (soon!!) of us ready and out of the house by 8:20am 3 days a week! So I asked 12 working mamas to share their morning routines and I LOVED reading all of their tips and schedules. As many of you know by now, Piper is starting school tomorrow.
