LIFE CHANGING Mom Productivity Tips | Motherhood, Fitness, Work, Being Present

[@callieangeles8897]

Sooooooo helpful, for sure one of my fave videos you have created. Love the way you parent, they tips are super helpful and I love hearing your ideas! So excited for baby 4 for you and Luke!! So cool! ❤️ on week 2 of the 10 minute plan (the 5k one) super great!

[@georgelanna9620]

Your beauty really got my attention, I couldn't pass by without saying hey

[@melodymaher7133]

Thank You Ashley! So appreciate your heart for Jesus & mommas!

[@JessicaOrban3606]

I love that you said, "Mom, you set the culture". So true!! I have come to realize that mom sets the tone of the home. If I am in a bad mood or being impatient, it trickles down so fast! If I am setting the right tone, the whole house has a better direction and atmosphere. And since I've been homeschooling 2 kids with a baby, it has been essential to do simple self care. I love your list of tips and tricks, these are great!!! PS much love from a fellow military spouse 💛

[@glowbodypt]

so much respect for YOU Jessica homeschooling two on top of caring for your baby, I know that's a ton from my limited time doing that during COVID school shut downs-- it's a lot to manage and do well at. Really glad this vid was helpful for you and so much love to you being a fellow milspouse who gets the life

[@rebeccaanderson458]

Can't say it enough! Actions speak louder than words! SHOW your kids what is important: nutrition, working out, being present, etc. Love this. Thank you!

I’m pregnant with my first baby and stumbled on this video! Thank you so much for your tips, I have no idea about being a mother yet but this video has definitely empowered and encouraged me to give my future babies structure and create a productive family life ❤️❤️❤️

[@glowbodypt]

Nicole, it's Ashley. Congrats on expecting your FIRST BABY! I'm so happy for you starting your family. Tomorrow I'm dropping a new vid that's similar to this (how I schedule my days as a mom of 4 working from home) so be sure your subscribed because I think you'll find it very helpful. You've snagged my free Prenatal Program already, right? www.glowbodypt.com/prenatalworkouts

Ok this video is AWESOME! I'm so glad you decided to share. Every single topic you discussed had me thinking "Man, this is so smart! This is the kind of mom I want to be and the kind of house I was my daughter (and hopefully future kiddos) to grow up in"! You are so encouraging in all of your videos and I am obsessed with your workout plans! I've done the prenatal and post partum plans and I tell everyone I know to do them, too :) I've never felt stronger or more comfortable in my body than I do now. Thank you for all you do for us! Your kiddos are so blessed to have you for a mama ❤

[@valerienitz3240]

Thank you for such wonderful wisdom for us moms. With lots of kiddos, it is good to be flexible but organized and create habits for them to help out Mom. Family is about teamwork. This creates good habits for kids and we moms are not overwhelmed with doing everything. Thanks for your mom's wisdom!

This was so good. Thank you for making this! I can resonate with every single nugget of wisdom you shared. Today I utilized the timers and felt so much more present and there were so many less power struggles when I gave my kids time to transition. Everything you do is excellent! So thankful for you and thanks for helping me stay active during my third pregnancy! I've been so encouraged by your boldness in the LORD and to see you stewarding all that God's given you.

One of my favorite non-workout videos you've made! I'm encouraged by your intentionality and appreciate your high view of what kids are capable of. Baby #2 is coming any day now, so I look forward to implementing some of these tips to make sure our house still runs smoothly as our family grows!

[@dwightjenniferstoltzfus9955]

Thanks so much for sharing such details of your daily life!! It seems like you have an amazing plan/schedule for operating your home with little ones! ❤ I also love schedules and making lists of things to get done. It definitely helps me stay on track and focused as a mom of almost 10! We constantly have a "to-do list" going on a dry erase board on the fridge that we can all see as a family and help accomplish together. I also have weekly household chores and laundry schedule for my kids on the fridge so they know what to expect and a reminder so they don't always have to ask me whose job/turn it is lol. I have older kids now, so this helps keep things running smoothly for us on a daily/weekly basis. Keep up the great work, Mama... you're inspirational for so many! 😘

[@glowbodypt]

Babe, write me a book and tell me everything! CONGRATS on a mom of almost 10. I cannot even imagine how much insight you have.

[@RoyalDiadem23]

I downloaded your prenatal program around 11 weeks but due to fatigue and unusual uterine contractions I waited until yesterday to start at 13 & 6. I watched this while I waited and it blessed me beyond measure especially as a believer. I will probably watch this once a week until I figure out what I want to implement into our family culture unique to us. Thank you so much for sharing!🤎🤎🤎

[@glowbodypt]

Hi Tomi, it's Ashley. So glad you got past those difficult early weeks with scary uterine contractions (smart to just lay low during that time!) and WELCOME here now! Since you enjoyed this older one, this new vid will be right up your ally as you prayerfully consider what might work for your family's routines and life. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXTQXouwfsuJi8U THANK YOU for choosing me to be your trainer and I promise to give you my best during your pregnancy and postpartum if you follow the 12 Week Post Pregnancy Plan like I do every time.

[@caseydewald2926]

I needed this reminder, and some new ideas. This first trimester with number two is kicking my butt hard. So hard to move and be present. But I used the timer method (I have these cubes I was using before but seriously this 1st trimester just knocked me OUT), and well pushing myself to do it helped. I have not been super intentional with my friendships, but if I get some more energy back I would like to definitely try that out! God bless you and your family, great vid.

[@roannakeener8134]

Thanks for this! Just started following you and love your workouts. I am also pregnant with my 4th (and our oldest is 4.5 years old). I am just starting a private practice as a Registered Dietitian and love seeing how you are combining your professional work and your crucial role as a mom. Another thing I would add is that podcasts are great while washing dishes or going for walks. Especially "Don't Mom Alone" and "Risen Motherhood"! I have a small group of moms that meet weekly for a zoom call to discuss.

[@andreadamian5370]

Great tips! Thank you for sharing with us how you balance your life. Surely you're not perfect to a T but give yourself grace in those moments that you don't follow your timer, or don't pick up XYZ.

[@georgelanna9620]

Hi dear

[@rebeccastevens2903]

thank you so much for posting this! the timer idea is great- 'how much' time I spend on certain activities has been a big challenge. Setting a timer to do something with my child is an excellent idea because then I can know I spent a deliberate amount and there is less guessing about if I should spend more or less. I know it isn't rigid and there is room to spend more or less time in a lot of circumstances, but it's great to set a timer to aim for a set time

[@glowbodypt]

You're so welcome Rebecca! I'm just glad to hear it inspired you in a practical way, I am always still learning myself! Snack sized intervals of 10 minutes on the trampoline running around tickling them, 10 minutes coloring at the table along side another, 10 minutes doing playdough, it really does all add up and make it more enjoyable for everyone.

[@rebeccastevens2903]

@@glowbodypt "Snack sized intervals", love that phrase!

[@daniellebotha4597]

Some really amazing ideas and comments. Answer to prayer for me! We’ve realized that having specific us only time to workout isn’t always possible but to include the kids. Just letting go of that expectation has been helpful. Love the ideas about timers and quiet time. Also so key to manage phone time - such a life and time stealer

[@ltep6411]

Great video, thanks! I am a firm believer in kids contributing to the household even from a young age. It gives them confidence and helps them feel accomplished. I have 3 kids under 6 and they understand that our family is a team so everyone has to pitch in. And there are consequences for them if they don't. It's not always easy to get them to do their chores but I keep telling myself that my investment now will pay off later. And in many ways it already has, because they know how to set the table, put away their dishes, wipe up spills, put away the cutlery, put away laundry, tidy their rooms, etc. There are plenty of small tasks that little people are capable of. I also try to use non toxic cleaning products so that they can use them too. Sometimes I make it a game (like they get to choose a character to be while they're tidying up. They love being robots!) and sometimes I'm just plain nagging, but most days it gets done! And most is good enough for me!

[@glowbodypt]

You have my respect babe because I know it's a lot to juggle- I worked full time in the army and had full day daycare with Gavin until I got out. Sit down dinners are essential no matter how busy you are. Use drive time for devotions, answering random kid questions, and drawing questions out of them to get to know your child better and increase quality in your relationship. Play games on weekends/off days. Make a weekly tradition that's fun that works for your family's schedule. Just because you work full time does not decrease your UNIQUE ACCESS that you will forever have to your child and your ability to point them to the Lord.
