HOMESCHOOL MOM OF 5 PRODUCTIVE & REALISTIC MORNING ROUTINE☀️/ Real Look at How I Prepare for the Day

[@OneBlessedMess]

Good morning, Mamas! ☕️ I hope you're able to grab a cup of coffee with me this morning! 🤍 What do mornings look like for you in this season of life? ☀️

[@Panda-hv3rt]

My mornings have not been the best! But u just motivated me to make some changes 💖

[@meghanlozada]

it usually involves trying to get through bible and morning reading time in our homeschool before my three year old wakes up 😆

[@MindyourMatters]

Busy! Just like you momma. I love how you took it all in stride. Thanks for the encouragement. Morning time can be chaotic and crazy. Ha! 😊👍🏼

[@ginamcgrew9955]

You are always such a source of encouragement and inspiration! This video encouraged me specifically to just do the things- Bible study, and exercise especially- even imperfectly instead of putting them off until someday when I can do them "right". I come from a looong line of perfectionists 😒 and often won't attempt something if I know I can't do it perfectly. So, I miss out on a lot. I loved the quote at the end of your video. I'm going to write it down and revisit it when I'm feeling the spirit of perfectionism creep back in. The way you focus on the everyday joys in motherhood inspires me to be more in the moment too! ❤ the days are long, but the years are short! I'm praying that God blesses you as you bless others

[@OneBlessedMess]

I can relate to the perfectionism SO much! It is so hard to break free from it and let good enough be good enough! God doesn't need our perfect, he just wants our communion 🥰

[@SummerMeyers]

Good Morning! Hanging out with you while cleaning my room and getting us started. ☀️❤️

[@OneBlessedMess]

Aww thank you for being here, friend! 🥰

[@Julietroses82]

Love your "quiet time" while holding your sweet baby ❤️ that's often how it looks but it's so valuable to get that time in, no matter how short.

[@OneBlessedMess]

Yes!! Someday I will miss that wild, wiggly baby!

[@JP-ec3ei]

I love your homeschool shelves. We also homeschool in our dining room. I’m almost out of the littles stage and while I treasured it, I’m ready to have a bit of freedom back. ❤️

[@kristynfedich8926]

Such a good reminder, there’s grace. I used to get so aggravated and frustrated when my quiet time was interrupted, but it’s only a season. And soon the season will be gone. And I will be sad. And then I just need to figure out a different time during the day to get the reading done. I am currently reading mom heart moments and then doing an Ephesians study with well watered women. I have done daily grace studies too! I did Habakkuk and loved it. ❤️ love these day in the life videos. Keep it real. Keep it in Instagram worthy….because that’s what is missing in this world. Reality❤️🙏🏻🥰

[@OneBlessedMess]

Yes!!! Sometimes our quiet time needs to be switched around and that's okay, too! Thank you for the recommendations! 🥰

[@lifewithginab]

Since I work we try to homeschool early in the morning before I start work. Loved watching mama ❤

[@OneBlessedMess]

You inspire me, my beautiful friend! 😍

[@MyCathedralGarden]

Go mama go! What a great look into mornings!

[@jsmjsm7177]

Thanks so much for being so real and grounded. 9 months PP here and also *trying* to get back into working out regularly. It gets sporting! Especially since it usually gets interrupted by the little people!

[@OneBlessedMess]

It can be so difficult to find the time to work out! I have been trying to see it as a priority, because if mama's body isn't taken care of, nobody's taken care of! When I frame it that way in my mind, it really helps 🥰

[@laurenrasmussen7997]

OMG your daughter working out with you was just the cutest thing!!!!!

[@SevenInAll]

Loved seeing your morning! Muffins are such a great easy breakfast! I am pretty sure that all mamas can relate to chaos happening even during "quiet time" in the morning.

[@OneBlessedMess]

Oh yes!!! We are human jungle gyms! 🤪

[@joshmolly2751]

Just found your channel!! Love this video !! Thank you!!😊

[@OneBlessedMess]

Thank you so much for being here! 🥰

[@nmstuart1073]

Thanks for being real and sharing your heart and morning routine. When you were sharing what came to my mind is that you're doing Kingdom work in your home with your littles. Thank you!❤️

[@OneBlessedMess]

Thank you so much for watching!! 🥰

[@joanna3367]

The kids working on their own 😍 isn’t that every homeschool mamas dream?! 🤩 and love your make up 🥰

[@OneBlessedMess]

This is a new development and I pray it stays around!! 😍

[@SevenInAll]

Also can relate to "kinda have the kids out of our room...kinda not." Depends on the night...depends on what time of night... lol!

[@OneBlessedMess]

Hahaha!! So glad I'm not alone in that!

[@sarahenry4125]

Mornings here lately have been me praying I can wake up before the baby and toddler do to have a little peaceful start! Your two youngest are about the ages of my two! Seems like my day is always more enjoyable when I get a little “me time” before mom mode kicks in!

[@OneBlessedMess]

Absolutely!! It is a (rare) treat to get to wake up before the kids and enjoy some quiet time! 🤍

[@sarahenry4125]

I also appreciate your review of Bible studies! I was just looking into some new ones last night! I can’t wait to take a look at this one!

[@thepracticalhomeschooler]

He’s so vain 😂😂 enjoyed watching your morning routine! Thanks for sharing!

[@OneBlessedMess]

Hahaha!! Thank you so much for watching, friend!! 🤍

[@mzfitmama2361]

Grateful for this as always when you share with us ✨

[@leahbishop993]

You're such an inspiration and an amazing, wise, young mama! I love how real and down to earth you are, thank you for all that you share. Would you mind telling me where I can find the exercise videos you use?

[@Dranma51]

My mornings are a disaster! I’m recovering from COVID and 16 days in the hospital (half of those days in ICU). It’s left me so fatigued and depressed! But I’m praying that God will pull me up from this darkness so I can have my life back! You remind me of me when my children were small. We had 4 kids in a 7-year span so we were quite busy and I loved it! Those days passed so quickly!

[@OneBlessedMess]

Oh my goodness!!! Praying for SO much grace for you, Mama, as you recover! Please go easy on yourself!!! 🤍🤍🤍

[@HSHeart723]

This was me last September, I hope your seasons have changed and your doing much better now. I got COVID at almost 39 weeks pregnant, had baby at 39w6d and then spent 10 days in the COVID area of the hospital. I came home on oxygen and couldn't even do the dishes without needing breaks inbetween. Took me a couple months to get off oxygen and get back to a more normal schedule.

[@Dranma51]

@@HSHeart723 I’m glad you and your baby are ok! I’m slowly recovering. Long COVID is no joke!

[@HSHeart723]

@@Dranma51 Long covid and from what I've learned just retraining your body on breathing, once you've been on oxygen. I have a hard time walking more then 3/4 of a mile(granted it is a hilly mile) without stopping for 1-2 breaks to settle my heart rate and breathing. My doctor told me to just keep going as I feel I can. Flatter miles are easier but I still need a break here and there. How are you feeling? Prayers for a continued recovery.

[@Dranma51]

@@HSHeart723 Yes, when the snow and ice melts I will be walking. Now I’m getting over a virus that led to pneumonia. I’ve never had pneumonia in my whole life and they’re saying it’s from the Covid! Good luck!

[@emilypanko2434]

I really enjoyed this video! Love the motivation for doing a workout and your to do list!!

[@OneBlessedMess]

Thank you so much!!! 🥰

[@aguilacec]

you are a super mom! an inspiration. May God bless you and your family.

[@Panda-hv3rt]

Good morning! Great video!!! Thanks for sharing 💖

[@debbielove2195]

You can just see what a beautiful person you are through the screen! This is my first video of yours that I have seen and I wish you were my friend! Subscribed ✨💗

[@OneBlessedMess]

Aww thank you so much for being here!! 🥰

[@Nataliebeth444]

New Sub❤ I totally enjoyed your video & your kids are adorable! And you're absolutely right! We all have our seasons.. I'm definitely in one now myself.. Thank you for your videos....will keep in touch by watching more, hope you have a nice day 🕊 bless you.

[@OneBlessedMess]

Thank you so much for being here! ♥️

[@MyCathedralGarden]

Love all the products you used for makeup! We use so many of the same ones! I always do my foundation and face stuff AFTER my eyes became I get it the shadow everywhere! But I do like you and I put my moisturizer on, then do my eyes stuff and then do the rest of my face!

[@OneBlessedMess]

I am such a creature of habit but know it's probably smarter for me to do my eyes first because I too get product all over my face usually 🤣🤣🤣

[@MyCathedralGarden]

@@OneBlessedMess I remember the day I thought of that and was like "I am the smartest person today" lol

[@diversekakes]

Lovely morning!!

[@MindyourMatters]

Love your camera hogs haha! I’ve got the same here! 😊👍🏼 we have a big snow storm tomorrow Friday! 😊👍🏼

[@OneBlessedMess]

How was your snow storm?! ❄️

[@MindyourMatters]

@@OneBlessedMess not too bad. Light and fluffy not heavy and wet. I’m sure you know the difference and how the clean up can be different. 😉 thanks for asking 😊

[@lisab6437]

“Don’t mind me, I read about eagles” ♥️♥️😂😂😂😂 I love it

[@OneBlessedMess]

🤣🤣🤣 She's hilarious!!!

[@jacquelinevera912]

Random question. What songs are in this video? They are beautiful and I'd love to listen to more of the artists.

[@OneBlessedMess]

Sure!!! They're as follows: "I'm Gonna Let the Sunshine in Today" - Loving Caliber "Wonders Abound" - JOYSPRING "Not Gonna Wake Up" - Mindme "If I Wrote You a Song" - Melanie Bell "For Someone Like Me (Instrumental)" -Victor Lundberg "Till That Blessed Day" - JOYSPRING

[@MindyourMatters]

Oh girl I’ve got to workout again. Ha! I’ve forgotten KZbin duh! Haha! Thanks so much for the encouragement!

[@OneBlessedMess]

Thank you so much for watching!! 🥰

[@MindyourMatters]

@@OneBlessedMess always a fun visit! 👍🏼

[@aimee_pie]

Mornings recently have started at 6am here, so with a seven month old that still wakes at least two times a night it's a rough start. I am not a morning person but my 3 year old is and she has all the energy 😴 Also Jack looks huge, where has the time gone!

[@OneBlessedMess]

I hear you SO much with the multiple wake ups at night! I never feel as rested as I want to in the mornings, but this too shall pass, right?! (With lots of prayer and coffee! 🤍)

[@emilywalrath7450]

Do you know where your little to do list pad is from? I love these routine videos!

[@ariellelauren4922]

Love watching your videos and your makeup! Can you please share how (or if) you use t.v. in your daily routine? I'm struggling with minimizing t.v. time during my season of having lots of littles and the pandemic.

[@OneBlessedMess]

TV stays (mostly) off during school days unless it is an educational show for the littles or a documentary for school. Afterward, I'm fine with them watching a movie or something while I'm getting things done around the house, especially during winter! No video games until the weekend because I have found they make them more irritable during the week! I'm definitely not anti-TV at all, but keeping it mostly off during the day just seems to be what works for us right now to keep everyone focused! 🤍

[@ariellelauren4922]

Thanks Christie! This is mostly us too. Always trying to find screen-free activities to keep them busy in between their lessons. Thank you!

[@haleenarodriguez5792]

Hi 😊 Good morning God bless you t y for sharing, caring, helping and being here I've been watching off and on then led to stay watching here for help I been praying for first time writinge to you there's some things I need help with and asking idk I feel they are private but maybe not to you or everyone here it's just maybe me I'm more on the quite side until I'm sure with people or talking about things especially my private business for everyone to see idk I know that's what your here for and everyone else it's just me 🙃 I think your special you and your family your really doing something wonderful here for us being a mom home schooling and a beautiful mom who loves God t y I think it's awesome.

[@OneBlessedMess]

Lots of love! 🥰

[@made2thrive2002]

For workouts that are doable and helps recover your core I can’t recommend Get mom strong enough! I wish it had been around 11 years ago after I had my baby.

[@OneBlessedMess]

Thank you so much for the recommendation!!!

[@made2thrive2002]

I also wish I had prioritized working out more after my last kid. Especially when I quit lifting my kids.

[@OneBlessedMess]

It's SO easy to just let exercise go when you're a busy mama! I have to be SO intentional about it or else it definitely won't happen! 🤣

[@kaitlync15]

Do you find a way to fit in playing with the kids ? As I add more kids that definitely a challenge!

[@OneBlessedMess]

That usually comes during the afternoon! I totally hear you on that being a huge challenge in this season of littles! I try to include them wherever I can 🤍

I just started a Postpartum workout program a few weeks ago by glowbodypt (I did her prenatal plan too - that one is free!) and it’s been really great! If you’re interested, she usually has a sale on Mother’s Day. Exercise makes such a huge difference in the day, way to go! 💪

[@OneBlessedMess]

I have done a few workouts by her, and they're awesome! Thank you!!
