It's been hectic. Either finishing up work or eating dinner and watching a movie. Your video is a good reminder to let go of work and slow down!

[@amandalashley3819]

Our evening routine starts around 4:30 when I get my kids up from nap, we read a couple books and then I let them play with special toys while I cook dinner. We eat around 5:00 then we tidy up from dinner and go play outside until about 6:30, at that point we come in and start the kids bedtime routine, sometimes they get a bath, but they usually choose to keep playing outside instead. I have my kids change into PJs, go to the bathroom one more time and brush their teeth. We read a bedtime story and sing a song and the lights are out right around 7:00. If it's an evening when my husband is home we will watch some Netflix and then go to bed around 9:00 because my husband has to leave for work super early. If it's a day when my husband is working in the evening I usually work on a project or plan out preschool activities to do with my kids, and I do some prep for breakfast. Then around 8:30 or 9:00 I either read or watch Netflix, and a couple times a week I take an Epsom bath. I usually go to bed around 10:00.

[@Patricia-fi9zo]

Such a nice, uncomplicated evening routine. Especially love how you take care of your plants. I love to do that as well.

[@AshlynneEaton]

Thanks so much Patricia!! I’m all about keeping things simple! 🤍

Aww thank you! 🤍

Love these routine videos! I'm a big advocate for slow, intuitive living.. This makes me eager to film my own evening routine! Love the calm vibes of your videos and your editing 😊

[@AshlynneEaton]

Tip # 17 for saving your money, if you are paying a high interest mortgage talk to your bank and go for a longer term to reduce the payment, then if things improve down the road, talk to them again and get the payment increased again with a shorter term.

[@JustGeenuh]

I find it hard to establish an evening routine but you’ve shared some great insight and I am motivated 👍😊

[@AshlynneEaton]

Honestly my biggest advice is to know what elements you want in your evening routine, but then to be flexible with it! It doesn’t need to look exactly the same day to day 🥰🤍

[@lindseylee251]

This is probably my fav evening routine in years, no reason, just simple and chilled. Loved it!

[@SonamPansari]

This is such a smooth routine! Sometimes we make things to complicated. This just reminded me to keep it simple and enjoy everything!🧡

[@AshlynneEaton]

Couldn’t say it better myself! Enjoy the small moments 🥰🤍

[@HolisticMoney]

Your evening routine is so peaceful! I think I may need to try working towards a more calming evening routine.

[@naomipeterson6335]

I was no joke looking for these kind of videos last night!!! Perfect timing

[@AshlynneEaton]

Oh what perfect timing! 🤍

[@daniamani2799]

I just discovered your channel and I’m hooked ❤️ I am an elementary music teacher, teaching from home, with an almost 8 month old baby. I’m trying to be more intentional about work and home balance. It’s so hard right now! Thank you for the calming evening routine and for the inspiration!

[@amyhoover9]

Your evening routine videos are honestly the best, Ashlynne! They always leave me feeling relaxed and inspired 😊❤

Ive been following your daily routines. I never get tired of watching it. It helps me be motivated to create my own too. Thanks for being an inspiration.

[@AshlynneEaton]

Oh that’s so awesome Jocelyn! So glad to have helped inspire you to create your own routine! 🤍

[@kamsinwajagu6744]

I just like that you keep everything simple, minimal and classy but very organized.

Simple and streamlined is how I like it! 😊

[@Supppppp7]

I love that you do embroidery. So cool!

[@AshlynneEaton]

Aww so sorry to hear you haven’t had a great day. But glad my video was able to help in however small a way! 🤍

[@pupdgc]

Wow, yay, for the first time I actually saw a video right after it went live! Great video, Ashlynne - I really enjoyed hearing about your evening routine! As part of my routine, I like to sometimes do a workout, play with my kitties a bit, have a little screen time, and about an hour before bed, I’ll put away my screens, listen to a meditation from the Calm app, and read a book for a while. (I think this last part was partly inspired by one of your other videos - your channel really has been an inspiration for me to start enjoying living simply!). I’m really enjoying your channel, and it’s so tranquil even just listening to you speaking - it’s a bit soothing. ☺️ Thanks again for sharing with us!

[@AshlynneEaton]

That’s so cool!! I love the idea of meditation + reading before bed! That sounds so relaxing! 🥰

[@_aly_cat]

I think winding down is so important and I def struggle with this. And I love that you look back at your day and then plan your next day. So often I feel like my brain is all over the place trying to not forget what I need to do. I think I am going to get a physical journal. I've been using apps and I don't think they work as well than old school of writing it down. I really appreciate this video. Especially in quarantine I feel like I am so "go go go" to get work done and then using my free time to watch things and I need to break away from a the screen. A podcast for cooking dinner is a good idea to give my eyes a break!

[@AshlynneEaton]

Totally agree with you on the physical journal! I’ve tried using apps for it in the past, but they just aren’t the same!! 🤍

[@_aly_cat]

Ashlynne Eaton I’m excited to start and see how it changes the game 🙌🏻

That cookware is gorgeous! I have never heard of it before. I would love to upgrade to a pretty, non-toxic set! I am going to look into it right now.

[@AshlynneEaton]

That’s awesome Tanya! And I completely agree, I love the color! But I’m also so glad now knowing that my pots and pans are actually safe and healthy for me! 🤍

[@tanyadutton3235]

@@AshlynneEaton It looks like they sell out pretty fast, according to their website. I may have to get on a waiting list for the cream color. But it will be worth the wait. I like that you can buy by the set or piece. And thanks for your reply! You are the first KZbin ⭐ to respond to a comment of mine, and I am such a fan girl over here right now! I am 49, and I only wish I had the mindset that you have at your age. My life would have been much more peaceful and intentional. You are so far ahead of the game! ❤

That cookware is beautiful!!! I don’t need new cookware, but if I did, I’d jump on that set. I’m surprised this wasn’t sponsored by the company! Get your coin, girl! We value your honest opinions. God bless. 😊

[@AshlynneEaton]

Aww thanks so much Susana!! Love the support and encouragement! 🤍

[@kathryn583]

Thanks for the cookware tip! I’ve been trying to eat & prepare cleaner too. Just mentioning that I noticed a chip in one of your plates, so it brought something to mind, since you’re trying to be cleaner, consider Corelle plain white dishes-chip & crack resistant & one of the very FEW that do not leech lead & cadmium (only the whites)! They come in embossed styles & square options if you need some design, but I believe you’d be all set with originals! PS you’re hair looks adorable up. Love it. PPS I don’t work for Corelle or anything, just suggesting.

[@AshlynneEaton]

Thanks so much for the recommendation!! Our dinnerware is definitely on my “to-replace” list eventually, so thanks for sharing! 🤍

Very relaxing, I love it. Do you usually have set times for everything (dinner, journalling, etc.) or does it vary daily

[@AshlynneEaton]

As a photographer myself, brand photos can really evaluate your brand and help your reach goals.

[@AshlynneEaton]

Completely agree!! I take a lot of pics myself, but it’s SO NICE to have someone else behind the camera 🤍

[@heathersteinberg4814]

Your videos are so relaxing lol I always enjoy your routine videos. This routine is similar to mine, work at home, make dinner, clean up/sanitize everything and tv (only difference is walk my dog). I need new pots and pans- I will have to try those, I like how they're white. Do they move around when you cook? The problem with mine now are they not heavy enough and slide when you are stirring/cooking. Also, do you have any pointers on trying to save a dying plant? My bamboo plant is turning yellow. I have had it for a few years now and I hate throwing away plants. I always try to salvage them. Stay safe, love your videos! :) xo

[@AshlynneEaton]

Aww that’s awesome!! In terms of the pots, they’re actually ceramic and super heavy duty! So there’s pretty much zero slipping around! (They’re basically my perfect cookware set) 🥰 And then for plants, you can definitely salvage them! The key things I like to look out for are, are they getting too much/little sunlight, are they getting too much/little water, and does the plant need fertilizer? Each plants specific needs are different, but if you can find the right ratio of those three factors, you can usually save the plant! 🤍

I have a question, I like the idea of the journal that encompasses the to do list as well as reflections and planning ahead for work. But what should I do when I Also have personal and child responsibilities planning doctor appointments grocery shopping etc.? Should I combine it all in one journal or separate the two? Any thoughts?

Ok so I've been drinking Rooibos tea in my evenings for a few months now (because I stop drinking caffeine by 2pm) and haven't seen a cinammon version here in Austrlia, do you think it would work if I sprinkled in some cinammon??

[@carolc2574]

Sprinking doesn’t really work. But adding a stick and let it sit might do the trick

[@AshlynneEaton]

So in my experience sprinkling cinnamon doesn’t really work because the flavor doesn’t infuse as well. If you can’t buy it though, I might try putting a cinnamon stick into your tea! I think that may carry the flavor a bit better. Hope this helps! 🤍
