#5ammorningroutine

[@CorrinaRoseWrites]

I was always a night owl and absolutely NOT a morning person- until having kids! My parents reminded me recently how I used to wake up at 12pm some days as a teen and college kid 😂 and now I've made it my mission to wake up at 5am and start my day with prayer and praising God because it completely changes my entire attitude towards the day! It reminds me why I've decided to stay home, why I've taken on homeschooling my 4 year old, and grounds me in my identity in Christ 🙌 Thank you Delilah for your videos that constantly radiate the love of Jesus in the way you love your husband and children.

[@Hambar7]

Lucky you . I'm a morning person but since my child has been born and she doesn't want to fall asleep or I have to wake up couple of times at night I just don't have any power to wake up as I always did :(

[@CorrinaRoseWrites]

@@Hambar7 How old is she? It does get better! My oldest was a great sleeper from the start, but my youngest who is two now was always the worst sleeper. She is such a light sleeper even with white noise going on, but I think it's mostly due to her being SO clingy with me. Even at her age now, she still wakes up at least 2 or 3 times at night to check if I'm in the room (she sleeps in my room in her own bed 😂) so the 5am wake up is tough, but it's worth it to me.

[@marynicolezen]

Waking up earlier than my daughter has honestly been the best decision I ever made, my day goes smoother, mornings are so much more calmer. This morning I heard the birds chirping and it was so beautiful to listen to. I wish I started doing this when my baby was still sleeping through the night and waking up at 9 am when she was younger 🤣 I would have had HOURS to myself, now I only have a good hour if I'm lucky 😭✨ Sending you so much love Delilah, thank you for being the best friend every mother needs

[@guidedbysunshine333]

I do this too. I get up at 4am to excessive meditate and shower alone before anyone knows I’m awake. It’s such a blessing for my mental health

[@marynicolezen]

@@guidedbysunshine333 Right?!! 🤍 At the start of my postpartum I used to be scared to wake up early because if I don't get enough sleep I'd get really bad anxiety attacks (almost called the ambulance a few times bc i thought it was a heart attack 🫠), looking back now maybe if I did do it my anxiety wouldn't have been as bad 😭

[@guidedbysunshine333]

@@marynicolezen totally get it. I do take a short nap during the day which helps the waking up earlyness lol 🙂

[@kaitlincrane_]

Amen to that

[@nickischroeder6048]

That last line though 😭🙌

[@cassondrafaye]

After seeing you do your morning devotions I downloaded the bible app and have been doing devotions as well. You don’t realize how much this has helped me. Thank you for showing me the way

[@Ecar619]

I love how Zack asked if he could help with anything❤️ William is so adorable!

[@anastasiadulebohn8773]

I always light up when I see you’ve uploaded a video. I’m 34 weeks pregnant with my second and I watch your videos during my daughter’s nap time and getting chores done. I feel like I’m not alone and yes, I can do it! We all mom together. Thank you! 💕

[@sarahmcw]

My daughter, my first born, is just 8 weeks old. I feel inspired and encouraged to try waking up earlier so that I can get ready for the day and have time for a quiet mind. Thank you, Delilah!

[@thelittlehomeaustralia]

Oh congratulations! It’s such a wild time of life the first 6 months of your first born so keeping expectations simple is a great option…. I found everything settles so much 6 months in when the sleep and naps start becoming a bit more consistent and we’re not soooo exhausted anymore! My little one is 16 months now and gosh it gets easier, I wish someone had told me that when I was 2 months PP! Xxx ps you’re doing great xx

[@malloryanthony8921]

I'm 2 months PP with my 4th. I'd love to get up early but my baby wakes. E up through the night so I need to get sleep when I can get it. I've been down this road before, so I'll plan to get up early when he's a bit older and sleeping better. ☺️

[@Em_284]

This morning routine is so calming and peaceful!!!! It just makes me so happy💛💛

[@juliakent2560]

I love my nights... I get up at 8 am with my kids and start school at 9 am. I am NOT a morning person and love the late evenings to calm down from the day and organize the next one. How wonderful to see what freedom and joy homeschooling gives us each!

[@chloeremington7139]

I can't wait to watch! I have really been considering waking up earlier and this is the best thing to open KZbin to! Thank you for all of your hard work Delilah!! 💜

[@emacwakeup]

Your routine looks so peaceful. And love that you didn't workout as soon as your feet touched the floor in the morning like all the other KZbinrs. I want to start waking up before the kids. Can't wait to get a routine going and thanks for the motivation :)

[@Discovering.jess.]

I love all your videos! You are so relatable and honest. Thank you for your transparency and encouragement 🙏

[@almostarctic]

so glad it's double video week, just finished the second week at a new job and this is the perfect way to start my weekend!! 🌻🌻🌻

[@caitlyndibble360]

I have just found your KZbin page today and I am obsessed. This was so calming and made me so excited to start my SAHM journey of 2 under 2. I will be watching as many older videos as I can of yours.

[@mauriziogandolfi7370]

I would love to see a thrift sopping and haul video from you as well as thrifting my pinterest autumn wardrobe

[@debbietyler4400]

That little one’s laugh is so sweet. Your family is sweet.oh my goodness he’s going to be a mover and a shaker. Keep you on your toes. Love your family

[@nickischroeder6048]

I could cry that’s how happy this video makes me. What a relaxing and special morning routine. We are starting our homeschool routine soon so I am making it my goal to get to bed earlier and wake up before the kids. I also love the quiet of morning so I need to start this asap! What are your tips for getting to bed earlier? I also love my evenings so it’s so hard for me to get to bed early enough

[@cyndicopeland4113]

I seriously miss your summer vlogs so much, I’m so excited to see what fun new plants you’ll have in the garden this year and watching as you grow your sweet baby bump❤

[@enterflora]

I’m lucky my partner is a morning person so he gets up at 5:30am to start his day and then look after our son when he wakes up (we cosleep), while I sleep in until 7/8am. My partner gets a solid night of sleep as I attend to any night waking and feeding, so this works best for us. I couldn’t survive otherwise! I’m a night owl and love the hours I get to myself before going to bed. They are the most relaxing and peaceful - no work, no responsibilities, just the quiet of the night. I read, knit while watching TV, write, stretch and wind down before bed.

[@alwaysbelle476]

Same here! ❤️

[@diandraguerrero8293]

I loooove this video 💕 It's so relaxing and calm. I'm also trying to wake up early and this video really motivates me. Thank you so much for your content Delilah, this inspires me to be better 😊

[@Happywholy]

This is so relaxing and calming. So glad you kept it nice and quiet just like an actually morning. It was highly relateable as a mom.

[@cathrinemersdorf68]

I just wanted to say I enjoy your videos so much!! Thanks for putting so much effort into them!❤

[@ohaveda]

Love this so much! So much encouragement for how peaceful a morning can be at this time. I have struggled to wake early for years and now that I have 5 kids I so badly need those extra hours in the morning. There is such a difference in waking at 5 am instead of 8am when everyone else is waking.

[@clarajo6932]

Me too!! I finally don't have a baby in my bed nursing (baby just turned 2 and oldest is 12) I just started successfully waking early. I tried when I had 3 or 4 littles like Delilah has now but I couldn't do it.

[@courtesylaugh528]

Before I had my daughter I worked a job that had me in at 5am every day, so becoming a SAHM was a pretty easy transition 😂 I'm usually awake by 7am and get 1.5-2 hours to myself before my daughter is up. It's the absolute best way for me to mentally prepare for the day. 💛

[@hannahbentson9374]

Mornings are my fav too! The calm and silence is like nothing else. ps your editing on this vlog is beautiful!

[@jolijnv4644]

Your ‘not so fancy’ breakfasts are very fancy here in the Netherlands, something we would eat on sundays or birthdays! Our normal breakfasts are porrige, or yoghurt with muesli, or a slise of bread with jam or cheese for example.

[@b.k.3313]

The same as in Germany

[@jenniferstaples1244]

This video is such a gift to me as I figure out routine and rhythms as a first time mama. Thank you 🤍

[@housefullofhumphries6478]

Working on getting up earlier than the kiddos to have alone time 🙏🏻 I do always feel like I’m more productive when I get up and get my day going early. Love these videos!

[@ellyrenee]

I love how peaceful this was. It inspired me! Your little ones are too cute♥️

[@melindaedgington9925]

The quiet calm of the early morning is my favorite time of the day too.

[@coconutNut2023]

This is the only KZbinr Im always excited to watch😍😍😍

[@eatit6259]

Ahhh your vids are so satisfying and calming to watch

[@aplacecalledthere]

Thank you for encouraging me to get up earlier. It's winter here in South Africa, very cold according to our standards, but nothing like your winters, but still not easy to get up early. Can't wait for summer so I can incorporate this kind of routine. Thanks for the inspiration ❤️

[@kayliemckinley2947]

I wake up at 6am, hopefully get about an hour/hour and half before my son wakes up. I dream about my morning coffee and ritual at night, before bed, for the next day. I love mornings. ☀️ thank you for always putting out wholesome, real, and raw videos.

[@torielmore7471]

Aside from enjoying the actual content, this is so BEAUTIFUL. Thank you for all the work you put into everything you do!

[@torielmore7471]

Some thoughts after watching... Is it really that light outside so early!? Also, I'm confused and not having screens on your windows haha!

[@GemTakesPhotos]

This has been one of my absolute favourite videos of yours

[@TheArmachillo]

The intro was very relaxing and the sun rays beautiful!

[@this_hive]

Good morning! It's currently 5:28am here in Montreal and I'm awake purely because I had to pump after my baby woke to eat round 4am. I can hear the crickets outside still, the sun hasn't come up yet but since I'm awake I may as well start my day. I've watched a few of your morning routine videos and never thought I could feel "awake" at this hour, but having a second baby sure makes getting up and staying up easier. Thanks for the calming reminder that we need to make and take the time for ourselves.

[@Mellags]

I was always a morning person until i got pregnant and ever since i am such a night owl but the days where i can manage to sleep well enough to be up earlier than my 1 and 2 year old boys always feels like a good morning where i manage to be much more productive. Its so difficult sometimes but it really is peaceful. Love your videos Delilah!

[@TayPink04]

This is so relaxing to watch!

[@emilyandnikki123]

One of my favorite videos you’ve ever made!

[@tiffanycave5974]

Agreed. Give your self u time amd proper wake up time. It feels better most days

[@victoriahartell4739]

I've been doing "beauty salon" like I saw in one of your earlier videos and it has TRANSFORMED our hairdo portion of the morning :)

[@bethswan]

Your videos come out in the evening over here (UK) and so as part of my morning routine I wait until the next morning to watch your videos with my coffee and breakfast. So relaxing and a lovely way to start day. 😄

[@amandagaudet1186]

I’ve always been a morning girl but since having my 13m old son (since I do night feeds and wake ups) my husband gets up with him anywhere from 6-7 am and I get to sleep in a little extra (as he also works from home). I would love to get back to 5 am wake ups to have that me time again, but we’re due with our daughter in less than 2 months! In due time I’ll get back to that routine, but for now I’m just blessed and thankful for our growing family & supportive husband 🤍❤️

[@amelidominik9385]

So nice that you left some of the music out, so we can enjoy the morning sounds and silence with you!

[@emilyw2790]

The lack of music was sooo lovely!! Thank you for choosing to edit lke this for this video

[@sara-jayneduff1897]

Loving your family videos! I have 2 girls and love watching your videos just to relate and feel like I'm catching up with a great friend. Also would love some meal videos on how you feed your family etc

[@marielouisa8468]

WOW! I need to try this (not a morning person). I was watching the first few minutes of your video with Mozart playing in the background and it was just.so.relaxing.

[@ivaristovskaiva]

Thank you for your beautiful videos!! I can never see my self waking up that early... its my favourite time to sleep 😆 my quiet time is at night, and i enjoy slow evenings after my daughter goes to sleep. Daylight makes me anxious and nights are when my body and brain are calm and functional 🙂

[@mslinsabeel763]

Finally someone who can understand ✨

[@ivaristovskaiva]

@@mslinsabeel763 i literally can feel the shift from stress and anxiety during the day, go away as the sun sets!! I love evening time. ❤️

[@KarissaLissette1023]

I love this video. It was great to see your routine. Love your content and your beautiful family

[@trishmcgrath7124]

Love this. Theres nothing quite like starting the day like this.. new beginnings..every day. And a little bit of peace before the crazy kids wake up in my house😊

[@LauraPaige]

I can’t get over how sunny and beautiful it is there so early in the morning🤍☀️

[@carla_deeanne]

Such a beautiful family! 🥰

[@lucisek7743]

8:45- I love this song, you play it very often in your videos and every time it brings peace into my heart! Anyway, I don't wake up before my son, I got into the habit of having the quiet time for myself in the evening when he's already in bed... I clean our flat and then I sit down and watch some KZbin or Netflix.

[@ShayNescu]

I agree with you Delilah and the comments! Waking up early feels so good, and my kids schedule and routine works so much better! Especially with homeschooling it’s been very important for us. Wishing you all the best!! You’re rocking it! So peaceful 💖💖

[@merisalonge6205]

You have such a beautiful home and family🙏❤️

[@hannatitley8272]

Really enjoyed this video ! ☺️❤️

[@LEMonYoga]

This was so lovely and calming to watch! I’d love to wake up before my girls but most days they are up so early 🫣 Maybe when my baby is a little older it will be easier to do! You’ve really made me want to give it a go so thank you 💕🙏🏼

[@mbwilson8592]

Yeah I feel you. Adequate sleep is more important than productivity in my opinion. When mom gets run down from lack of sleep..that's no good for anybody.

[@celinererekura7116]

How amazing would a daily devotion be from you!!

[@TheVelvetIris]

Can I just say, everybody complements your editing, rightfully. Though personally, I think your music editing is the high point. I love how the rythems and instrument, and even pitches (speach and otherwise), are so tied with whatever is happening at that moment.

[@erinwhitaker2699]

I also wake up between 5-5:30 because I get a workout in on my back porch before my 3 kids wake up. I love being in the fresh air as the sun rises. Then I do my short Bible reading too. It's the only quiet time I have to myself and I love it!

[@oppsendless3814]

It's so bright and sunny at 5:00 am? Wow! Beautiful.

[@makaylaellison9058]

I live in Florida, and at 5 it’s still pretty much pitch black outside!

[@hannahgreen6306]

I love your videos so much ❤️

[@shwacp0809]

I'm usually up between 5-5:30 too. My kids are really early risers (my baby is often up before 5:30... we're working on stretching him to 6:30) and I NEED to spend some time waking up before my kids. It makes such a huge difference in my day.

[@alexismaewaterman]

I cannot believe how bright it is outside at 5am that is insane!!! I think that would help me a little bit to wake up too bad it doesn’t stay like that year round lol loved the video and definitely encouraging me to wake up earlier bc I notice on the days I do everything is better💕

[@crafteywood1899]

Thank you so much for this video. So much of wise and helpful information. Thanks and God bless you.

I love how you said waking up early is your form is self care . . . Now I am considering it!

[@hollyheaton5305]

I love this video, your morning looks so calm and peaceful, I can definitely take a few things forward into my morning. Can I ask if your routine differs in winter? And if it does, how? I find it so much easier to get up when it's bright and sunny at 5am, compared to Winter when it's dark and cold.

[@victoriaelisapeta]

Yasss waking up before the kids is lit & I never knew how much I could value a measly 30 mins 😅

[@TheConscientiousEater]

I also wake up around 5/5:30 and get 2-3 hours to myself before my kids wake up. Favorite time of the day!

[@vidz953]

It's amazing what difference latitude makes. Your 5am looks like our 7am in Utah!

[@stephanieo8925]

You have challenged me to wake up earlier! Me and my husband both are now waking up at 6 and it’s been SO good. I can tell my mental health is better and i feel more peaceful. It’s my time with the Lord and to process my thoughts. I def also recommend it especially to mamas of young kids!;)

[@DawsonDaysatHome]

Loved this!!! I wake at 6 but it's not early enough to get alone time before my 3 kids wake at 6:10 🤪. Your morning was beautiful ❤️

[@linachuodier6154]

I feel you😩😂

[@bethw3573]

I have really been considering a 5am start to my day, do you find you get more tired throughout the day? On days that I have to wake up early I find I always need a nap, which isn't really conducive to my baby's schedule lol

[@cassandrawong5590]

Hi Delilah - can I ask what sort of daily planner you use to organise your family? Thank you!

[@nicolegerard2907]

I used to look at these videos with wonderment and awe. I strived for this forcing myself to go to bed early months on end forcing myself to get up early for months. Trying this for multiple periods of my life and thinking if I kept with it my circadian rhythm would just adjust. As I have grown older I have realized that I am not cut out of for this lifestyle and that it is in my blood to be a night owl. My parents and my siblings are. Sesh my mom stays up till 2 in the morning every night at 70 years old. Society forces this life so I do it but I am not made for it and that's okay. Funny thing is my daughter wakes up early so even if I did I would have all but an hour to myself if I was a morning person but I have time to myself from 8:30-11:30 to myself every night being a night owl. I don't know how parents do it that are morning people cause most kids are also morning people and they seem to have significantly less time to themselves.

[@mbwilson8592]

Yes, I agree. You got to do what works best for your unique family. I do not function well on little sleep at all. It causes me migraines and depression.

[@stopbeingana-hole4151]

My peaceful routine is at night when everyone goes to bed. I’m a night owl. It’s very therapeutic. The peace and quiet. No negative energies, loudness, or interruptions. The silence of the night. I love mornings too, the sun is very motivating and happy. My body doesn’t like the heat though.

[@kariina1721]

5:30 am 😊 morning person for sure!

[@cadencecaptures3368]

Williams laugh though when the door opened 🤣🤣

[@rndsaneo2172]

Love it 😍

[@Gaibreel]

Idk why but morning routines motivate me to clean my house. I watch them when I know I need to clean my house but too lazy. It works

[@user-ef4zr6np1t]

What is your standard practice when you do morning devotions? What is your step by step?

[@rachelmcmahon6321]

So inspiring ❤ also where are those water bottles from?! I’m obsessed!

[@megancurrie5546]

Beautiful video

[@Daymickey]

Night owl here, pregnant with my first. I’m a little nervous about the change parenthood will likely force on my natural rhythm, but it seems like people get used to it eventually.

[@katarinagreer]

ooo I love early mornings too before everyone else gets up to have my quiet time with the Lord & enjoy the morning sun :)

[@plantifullydana7525]

Wow do I long for morning like this. Currently my two kids wake up at 5am (or earlier) everyday and it’s so bad in my mental health. Before my baby was born my toddler would sleep in until 7 but now it’s very different. I can’t wait for days like this again.

[@katiethomas5889]

Hats off to you! I get up just after 7 am, that's rough to me :D

[@ghostsandtea]

Hello! I was a night owl for a long time as I used to work third shift. Now that I have kids it had switched. I wake up at 7am even on weekends. And even on vacation without the kiddos I still got up early. :)

[@_KendraChristine]

I’m such a morning person, and I’m currently pregnant with my first baby and pregnancy fatigue is no joke, so I sleep in way more than I used to, but I hope to get back into the early mornings once baby comes, we will see! Life is always about adjusting!

[@Wowzaman638]

Enjoy the sleeping in with so guilt! You’ll get up early some day…now is the time for you to focus on getting as much rest as you can!

[@thelittlehomeaustralia]

I wake up at 5:30/6 every morning but my little boy (16 months) has always been an early riser so he wakes up at this time too. I wish I could have a little time to myself in the early morning but I find that doesn’t work as id have to wake SO early but he tends to be asleep by 7/7:30pm most nights so I have a few hours of quiet time at the end of the day to settle down and relax ❤️

[@yarazard]

I just wanna commend you for waking up early 💪🏽
