My 5am morning routine as a mom of 4 (how I structure my morning for self care & sanity)

[@robynnohlingfnp-bcrd7539]

10 minute workouts in my PJs with swarming small children is the ONLY way I’ve been consistent - and those seemingly measly 10 minutes make such a difference ! You go

[@lovinglifefreely]

An empty nester of 6 kids I used to get up at 4:30 am to get my workout in so I was in the shower before my husband got up otherwise the shower didn't get done. I used to fuss over needing to wear workout clothes & now I wear regular shorts or sweatpants & a comfortable tshirt or tank top. I am now up at 5 am still to start my day with Bible time, prayer & off I go with a workout done & sometimes a 30 minute walk also. It doesn't matter how you do it, just do & wear what is comfortable & affordable for you to get that energy hit you get 🤣😃

[@staceyabraham617]

This was SO encouraging. Thank you for talking about the seasons where you couldn’t always get up before your kids too! This was so honest.

[@bachmalub220]

I love the magnatiles on the floor, the exposed cords, the not perfectly put away toys on the shelves, the working out in PJs, it just makes me feel so normal yet still motivated ♥️

[@laurenslaughter2440]

This was so encouraging! My daughter is four now, and ever since she’s been born, I’ve been telling myself I need to get up early so I can get x, y, and z done before she wakes up, but I get so discouraged thinking there’s no way I can do it all before she wakes up, so I end up not even trying. This was such a good reminder that I don’t have to do it all - my “morning routine” doesn’t have to end just because she’s awake. Duh! 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@madisonbuccola9300]

Thought I was the only one who works out in PJs..so relatable!

[@PrettyLittlePlantBased]

Same girl!! lol

[@jessrawlings7532]

The pressure to wear workout clothes first thing in the morning and workout during the 1 hour before the kids wake up is real! Your morning routine actually feels doable for me 😭🙌

[@Homeschoolmama-fl1vu]

Yesss, I feel it too! I’m so grateful she shared this. It’s so comforting to know other Momma work out in jammies too and it still counts! I know that sounds silly but wow society pressures. Please Christ, not the world 😊

[@erikapena-terrero5272]

Another mom who exercises in pjs here 🙋🏽‍♀️ I’m a pregnant mom of 3 (pregnant with girl #3 and mom of 1 boy like yourself! 😊) Thank you for reminding me that it’s normal to want to sleep in when pregnant and during the first months of the newborn stage. I’ve been feeling SO guilty for sleeping in and surrendering to the mess so I can prioritize sleep. I really needed this message today. New subscriber, thanks so much for your honesty 💕

[@canadiangirl8775]

I’m not a usual ‘commenter,’ but this video was so good! We have 3 little kids who are 5 years and under and I forgot how much I enjoy getting up before them to drink my coffee and read my Bible. Thank you - will be getting up early tomorrow! 🎉❤

[@JenniferEnos-z6c]

8 weeks postpartum here. I relate so much to having this boost of energy and motivation after low energy and not feeling well for 9 months. These videos are awesome! Thank you

[@katrinasimmons9288]

This video is so relatable. I’m now 4 months postpartum with my 3rd baby and if I’m going to work out at home, more times than not, it’s in pj’s too. This time around I’m leaning into getting things done, even if it’s not perfect or ideal and being happy with “good enough”. It’s a busy season of life that we’re in and I’m focusing on progress over perfection and contentment in that, instead of frustration. You’re doing great, mama!

[@jamie-leewatson3565]

Love the honesty of this! Super relatable and realistic. You almost convinced me to wake up earlier :)

[@Vg2024-p7i]

Your videos are so inspirational to me, and they really get me motivated. I love how practical and to-the-point your tips are. As a mom to a toddler, expecting my second, still working part-time (and maybe picking up some extra remote work on the side soon to contribute more financially) I get SO overwhelmed at the thought of my next baby coming up and how I will possibly have any semblance of a life or routine. I love how you find ways to get it all done without offloading tasks or depending too much on others for help - sometimes we just can’t do that and have to learn to be self-sufficient. It’s been a huge mental and physical challenge for me but seeing your content has been a big consolation. Thank you!

[@DD-xf1yd]

Hi, Becca. Working out in PJs makes total sense, to me! Also: I wanted to tell you about something that might be a helpful tip: I understand you really enjoy the taste of Coffee, but don't want the Caffeine that can upset your stomach, or give you a jittery feeling. I feel the same way. What I've done is mix Green Tea, with a little bit of Coffee (for the flavor). Even though Green Tea does have Caffeine, it ALSO contains a BRAIN-CALMING Amino Acid: "L-Theanine"). It's AMAZING to reduce Anxiety/Stress, but doesn't make you sleepy. It provides a calm alertness/focus. I am amazed at how well it works, without jitters. But I also love the taste of Coffee, so that's why I mix them together. Right now, I'm finishing up a previous Can of standard Coffee that I bought....but in the future, plan to switch to DeCaff Coffee. I encourage everyone to try Green Tea....especially if you have a Household to run! It also helps against Depression (studies have proven).

[@delilahmertoglu]

This is the only mom morning routine that has actually felt realistic to me. Thanks for sharing!

[@shammah4374]

You're amazing! The type of mom who will be able to handle lots of kids ❤

[@PlumOrchardFarm]

I’ve been working out at home since my son was born 6 yrs ago and I’m stronger and more muscular than I’ve ever been in my life. My son also loves to “work out” with me lol. I agree that it’s good for our kids to see us prioritize our health😊

[@User_NohaAA]

thank you, you really inspired me and encourage me a ton because I am pregnant and very depressed and didn't manage to get anything done but the free guilt pregnant attitude is really what I needed to hear... thanks !

[@hilarybilary9145]

I would love to see your non toxic, natural makeup routine!

[@SummerD0712]

You are honestly one of the most encouraging honest moms on the internet, thank youuuuu for this video!!! You seem so realistic which is why I love you!

[@elizathies6303]

Love this video! I have a 4, 3, 2, year old and 1 month old and can relate to this so much! Great work!! Definitely a struggle over here trying to get the kids to maintain their rooms.

[@barbaravyse660]

Wow 🤩

[@shayleeglaziner]

I love how real you keep it Becca! Pregnant with twins so about to hop from mama to one to mama to three! Been watching you forever and always leave inspired :)

[@gemmagold3826]

OMG THANK YOU so much for sharing your "sloppy" pajama work outs! This is actually so motivating and helpful.

[@nadiak2202]

Thank you Becca for being real!

[@ambernicole8486]

Your videos are so encouraging to me! A great reminder that I can (some day- soon, I hope) get back to some kind of daily routine and actually get things done, or do even a little self care when I get past the postpartum stage 😅

[@sandynaranjo2731]

This changed my life lol thank you for this video. Realizing I’m trying to live my old life and that’s why it’s not working. Going to work out in my pjs now!

[@AmeliaUnleashed]

I feel you about the working out! I used to see it as focused, quiet time, self care before kids too. I like your perspective change, now it’s mamas movement time while the kids move and play. Doesn’t have to be ideal to work! I will have to try this! ✨ and YES pjs. Great idea!

[@Nekteck]

This is inspiring! Balancing self-care and managing a busy household is no small feat. 💪🏽❤

[@RLiberty94]

Thank you for sharing this encouraging video. I’m not a mom yet, but your video really encouraged me to have a more solid morning routine before just jumping into my day, which is what I usually do.

[@janetmoreno21]

Would love to watch more videos about your life as a Catholic woman and mama!❤

[@caitlinrachel18]

This video was so REAL and honestly so encouraging as I am about to have two under two!! 🫶🏻

[@PrettyLittlePlantBased]

Here for the sloppy not perfect Mom workouts. I hear you! Thank you for sharing your beautiful routines with us. Love from Seattle! ❤

[@thehomeblondy]

Such great tips! This was so encouraging as a first time mom who is just feeling motivated to get back into a morning routine 9 months later

[@sarahbearden6967]

I just loved this! Thank you for the encouragement you provide from a realistic, authentic, and approachable perspective.

[@faithpeggar]

I love how realistic and honest this is!!!

[@tarrynpitts6538]

I am in the best shape because of the consistency of working out at home, its more convenient and i actually keep up with it. I dont do anything crazy, i walk a lot as well. Occasionally ill throw in a super energetic hiit routine depending on my body and cycle. But overall i do a routine in my pjs too and my body loves the movement! Then combine that with moving all day long chasing kids and cleaning, cooking, getting outside...i have been feeling good! Loved this video! Something i have been wanting to do but put off is not having my coffee as soon as i open eyes 😶 your routine has inspired me to start tomorrow. I do feel the effects of it now that im getting older. I think food first would help, a slow wake up.

[@staciemurray514]

I would love a video on different oils you pair together for scent and also what they boost in your body while breathing them in💛

[@natashafurduy]

Great job mama! I want to start getting back up at 5 am, makes such a difference.

[@ljaycee]

Such an encouraging video! Spot on that your advice is healthy, but approachable. Love your content!❤

[@nicolefischer444]

What a beautiful cozy home🥰 i have a question,what time do u usually end your day and go to bed to start waking up at 5am. Thanks for sharing❤️

[@nicoleotte2433]

I had that same white dresser and hutch growing up. Took me right back to my childhood!

[@karinatsaruk7831]

Wow thank u for such a realistic routine!! I relate to this video sooo much ❤️ so encouraging knowing they r other moms with similar mornings

[@Ritoula065]

I totally agree. Also started doing this with pjs and my kid around and it makes all the difference

[@AmBeauty28]

You’re phenomenal!!! Keep doing all the amazing things you’re doing! ❤

[@sigridflora]

Hi Becca! Thanks for sharing reality!!

[@shervin6711]

The family looks like they are enjoying your new house❤

[@DenisseIcaza]

Thanks for sharing the BIS Marian Virtues study. Now I really want it ❤😍

[@elizabethsmith6952]

You're so inspiring! I woke up early today to hike with a friend. FYI, in your monologue at the end whenever you moved I could hear your camera focusing.

[@ashleycoronado2801]

I'm so excited to get back to my early morning routine! I'm pregnant with baby 3 now and just can't do it. I know it will be a while before I can go back to my 5 am routine but I'm looking forward to it!

[@shervin6711]

I love that your kids looked like they were interested in your work out. I wonder if they would be more motivated to " focus" if you had a "mom and me" video workout? ( So they see what to do) Give mom more of "a break." So cute!

[@by_grace_alone1334]

This was both extremely relatable and motivated! ❤ just subscribed!

[@poechristhemfitz]

I have been trying to do this for about a year and a half but I have given up trying to wake earlier than my oldest (3yo). I tried 6am for a while only to have him always wake up either with me or within the first 15 minutes after. The few times I tried 5am he would already be sitting at the top of the stairs, ready to throw his first demands at me. My little one is 1 now and she has always loved her sleep - but recently her brother has started turning on the big light whenever he gets up to leave their room, leaving her in a bright room. He was my first baby and he's a lovely boy overall - but he was not put on this earth to please anybody, it seems, and from the first to the last moment of him being awake our day is a complete whirlwind. And if I wake up early, it that chaos just starts earlier too. So I have finally surrendered my mornings to them for now 😪

[@jennaconnour9671]

Thank you for your honesty! You are inspiring and a great mom! Would love to see a makeup routine video. ❤

[@RainieRobinson]

I love your kitchen so much!! Thanks for sharing your morning routine! I totally agree - definitely makes the day so much better❤

[@lynnhoffmeister6858]

I’m with you Becca - I do the pj workout too 😊

[@amberlin8668]

I already get up at 5:15/5:30 but my 3 year old ALWAYS knows and wakes too 🫠. Excited to finish watching your video though and dream of this alone time lol.

[@GeinaVellaSmith]

Such a realistic inspiration you are, thank you! 💕

[@teisharichins1195]

You always inspire me! Thanks for sharing ❤

Hi Becca I have enjoyed watching your content videos have been very helpful. Can you tell me where you purchased your pretty duvet bedcover? Looks very airy and soft.😊

[@monicas3458]

Thank you for this 💕💕💕

[@Melmidd]

I'm curious to know what time you go to bed?

[@jchoco453]

Love this video, thank you Becca!

[@lisakrushinski9436]

Thank you for encouraging me to wake up earlier!

[@VikaFursov-sf4vw]

Do you have a link to the stand you have your berky water filter in? I’ve been looking for something just like that. Thanks!

[@kelceydennis8023]

What coffee do you use? Is it organic?

[@kellyroy7248]

This was such a lovely and realistic morning routine! Can you explain how caffeine on en empty stomach affects hormones? I’m pregnant with #4 and rely on intermittent fasting to lose the weight. I do drink black coffee while fasting though! 🙈

[@christinat.7264]

Lol, me too in exercising in my jammies. 😂😂😂. Thanks for sharing your routine.

[@livinglifeblessed1]

You look terrific right out of bed! Girl not me i look like i got ran over and throw in the fact i usually cant stop sneezing from the morning allergies its a mess. Lol

[@joannedoran3215]

I’m interested in this and also have 3 month old but I have never really been a morning person. Have you always been a morning person? What time do you get to bed?

[@candacedavis5291]

Is your water dispenser a Berkey or what kind is it? We have horrible water here since we moved to the south & I’ve been thinking of getting one

[@mikaylal9906]

Love this video!

[@jjgolden214]

I really enjoyed this video :)

[@Homeschoolmama-fl1vu]

Will you share some Mom uniform easy presentable tops? 🩷

[@LoveleighLifestyle]

Can you share your “fragrance recipe” of oils

[@macyl5635]

I have no kids and I’m watching this while working out in my pjs!! Lol

[@sabreen45]

How do you do this with 4 babies?! I have one and all I want to do is SLEEP!

[@barbaravyse660]

I have two cats that wake me up at 3:30 am for breakfast #1. This has been going on for 13 years 😅. I thought they’d outgrow this.

[@philippians1213]

Hi !! I am a mom of three ! But I am having few health issues like migraine and vertigo. I would love to wake up at 5:00 AM and do everything for my family. Please any suggestions for me ?

[@sdl5731]

What oils do you use as perfume?

[@winonaandreamagpayo1541]

What oil do u use to put on your skin?

[@TheHennaRealm]

Curious about what time you hit bed to be able to get up at 5am cause my 8 hr sleep is a non negotiable as a mum😅

[@emmaashburn3373]

Great video but we can hear I think your bracelets or something clinking together the whole time

[@thedesertdaydreamer]

Love this! I only recently felt like I had the energy to start getting up at 5 AM to have some time to myself and it makes a huge difference in how I feel throughout the day!!

[@christinesohn7030]

All this is realistic when your partner it’s watching the other kids 😅 workout and so on 😂. Is very difficult to do that when one mom is alone in the morning w barely support

[@lysandra_silva]

What toothpaste do you use?

[@michelletarr4313]

Do you cosleep? My daughter sleeps with us and I wonder if she would wake up if I set an early alarm to wake up.

[@ericamoore7128]

You are remarkable

[@120mitchmd]
