PRODUCTIVE 5AM DAY | monthly reset, house tidying, working out, healthy dinner, & prep for the month

[@jessicahockersmith9838]

I love your gratitude with folding clothes. My husband passed 2 years ago when our son was three from cancer. I miss doing his laundry so much

[@michellereedg]

I am so so sorry ❤️‍🩹

[@sbazeghi]

The attitude of "I get to, not have to" transforms everything, right? Like you mentioned gratitude with getting to fold clothes! :)

[@michellereedg]

it really does 💛

[@nicolab9938]

@@michellereedgwhy are you and Aiden’s meal portions very small? I’ve noticed this for 3 years now. This is coming from a Canadian , and British resident. I know Texans typically eat a lot, but these are very small portions even for Canadian and Brits. Apologies It’s just alarming to see such small portions. Love your content though, especially faith content.

[@michellereedg]

we eat so early to be able to with our son, so we consider it an appetizer then usually have seconds later in the evening 😂 thank you for being here!

[@thedupontnest]

My last (4th) toddler is a little over 2, and we LOVE this stage 😍 it’s much easier when you realize that their frustration is usually just not being able to communicate what they want. Our son is such a blessing, as are our 3 older girlies. ❤

[@jordanlouie6603]

I’ve been following your vlogs so closely lately and have loved every one. It’s so neat to see you in this journey of motherhood - thank you for taking us along your learnings and experiences!

[@SavvySmiles11]

Omg I completely agree about the “just wait” comments! Every baby/kid is different for one. But also I absolutely loved when mine finally started to crawl and then walk! He’s happier and can have more independent play by going where he wants in the area. I also heard a lot about the “terrible two’s” but the toddler stage is so incredibly fun, and to see their little personalities bloom!! Sure they have tantrums, but everything else the toddler stage brings makes it all worth it!

[@JenGauthier]

Video ideas : toy organization/decluttering, what I bought for my 1 year old for Christmas, toy rotation/most used toys

[@allieglozier2389]

Can you please please please please do maybe a mini vlogmas for Christmas or a what I gifted for family this year?

[@SarahSchneider2]

I agree, a little bit of cleaning and tidying every day is a lot better than doing the entire house over a full day of cleaning

[@hollymonast4705]

My son is going on 3 years old and I’ve been doing monthly Chatbooks of his life. It’s SO MUCH more manageable and I feel like each months favorite pictures are in a hard copy and I know I have them safe! It’s been a game changer!! 👍🏻

[@margarethaws473]

I always relate to your baby feelings so much! Our babies are about the same age and I had a similar early newborn stage as you and received the same comments about how once baby is moving it will be so tough. I didn't enjoy the newborn days so couldn't relate to a lot of people I saw online. But I feel the same way as you! I have LOVED this phase. Every new piece of personality my baby gives me is like a gift. I have loved watching her grow and am adoring the chaos of an active and mobile baby ❤️ I'm so glad to hear you're in a good phase right now too.

[@isabellalacy9901]

Ahh Michelle!! I love this so much and you are such an inspiration to me. Thank you for being such a light and I love whenever you post! You are truly one of my favorite people to watch on here and it’s so fun seeing your day to day life. I love all the mundane moments like the baking and cooking or even when you make your coffee in the morning. You are so fun and I love seeing you interact with your son! It’s so sweet and it’s crazy how big he is. Ilysm and I hope you’re having an amazing day 💕

[@michellereedg]

thank you for being here, Isabella! 🤍

[@84krist]

Loved when you talked about gratitude when folding laundry especially Conor’s, I do this whenever I’m tidying my babies toys/ room🙌🏼

[@michellereedg]

never want to take it for granted 💛

[@rachaelschick996]

Love everything about this video! It’s been so cool to see how you have transformed and changed over the years and being ok with resting when you feel like you need it or becoming the mom you want to be to your son and family. I also love the little clips of wisdom and insight you share! You’re inspiring ❤️

[@michellereedg]

💛💛💛 so thankful you’ve been here for all the changes!

[@ReeseChristian]

Your video brought me a lot of joy this morning! Thank you for pouring your time and energy into these videos- your heart shines through. I bought "Every Moment Holy" last week, and it has become such a touchstone for me. I have watched your videos for years, and your attitude and faith always inspire me. Thank you for sharing!

[@michellereedg]

I’m so happy you’re enjoying it! Thank you so much ☺️📖

[@ALINA-tv7qt]

Thank you, Michelle for this sweet and positive video! I am so happy everytime you share your journey with us ❤

[@michellereedg]

grateful for the support ☺️💛

[@Onecoffeedupmom]

I love seasonal videos so much! 🥰

[@lauratroxel6072]

I haven’t watched you before, but I love they way you include your son in the video while also not showing his face. I feel like moms who are careful with privacy can sometimes have jumpy footage or sometimes not even show their kids at all, and it’s hard to picture them as a mom of their kid is missing 😂 I just wanted to share that I think you do a beautiful job balancing that

[@hannahlawrence8973]

Would love a video on 1 year old birthday gifts! Or alternative gifts! Or just general thoughts on marking 1st bdays! My daughter is similar age to your son ❤️💙

[@kylieemariee26]

Loving this content. You always inspire my channel! 🫶🏻

[@kaylashorter5911]

Love this entire video! I love your honesty, creativity & realness! You’re doing amazing!

[@poppycalliope]

The perfect video to watch after a long day 🤎🍂✨️

[@michellereedg]

hope you enjoy, Poppy! ❤️

[@kamschex]

Following you and watching these videos is so refreshing, thank you!!! ✨

[@Goldengirlgame]

Love your vids! Thanks for sharing your walk with God too❤ inspires me😊 praying for you and your fam bam

[@gailrubin9029]

Today I was aware that we have so many “gadgets/technology “ that make life easier. We rush through the day and forget how much we have that helps our tasks be easier and lighter. Being aware included gratitude for them

[@juliam507]

My favorite videos are cooking videos! Maybe like holiday recipes/what I eat in a week

[@audlynne8337]

Thank you for the motivation to be productive!!! I have a little baby too (she’s 6 months) and it’s such a struggle to keep our house in order but your videos always help me to wake up early and get things done! Love ya you’re killing it mama ❤

[@michellereedg]

thank you! we definitely have our days of just letting the mess sit too 🥲🙏🏼

[@meganlothian1978]

I really love dropbox for photo storage! Helps me to not have as many pictures on my phone, but is easily accessible and you can organize with folders within the app!

[@rebekahdelange7745]

Hey Michelle, my aunt recommended Project Life for photos to me and it's been a game changer!! I'm horrible at scrapbooking IRL, but you can upload all the photos to a scrapbook-like page, add notes and cute edits, all on your ipad. They let you print the pages and you can continually add them to a binder like you would a scrapbook (so you're not committing to an entire binded book every time you want printed photos).

[@michellereedg]

this sound so cute & helpful! ❤️

[@savannahfryhoff4816]

Cannot wait to watch! Was looking for something to watch while curling my hair and this is it! Your videos always put me in a good mood and the days when I watch you I feel so calm and productive 💕

[@michellereedg]

love that so much! 🌞

[@marissa9522]

Love to see meal planning or prepping or how you go about that!

[@MadiVisser1]

Would LOVE to hear some of your favorite toys for your little guy in this season. My 9 month old is crawling all over the place and I think its time for a few new meaningful toys to fit his new stages and development to keep him engaged! Love seeing your content as we are in such similar seasons 🥹

[@4Devi15]

Omg same about last Christmas being a blur! I had prodromal labor the last three weeks of November (my due date was Nov 29th) so we basically rushed through Thanksgiving and decorated for Christmas early just in case I would go into labor early. I ended up having my son Dec 1st with a third degree tear so I spent Christmas healing and taking care of a newborn. I'm really excited for this year's holidays! My son does get into things he shouldn't but it's so fun to have him move around and explore. He plays with his toys so much more now too (like Connor playing with his cars) it's so cute

[@avagrace34]

I look forward to your videos every week. I can’t wait to watch this one! I’m loving this fall season and your videos are amazing. Ily!🧡

[@ervinsmoviecorner8748]

I’m very proud of you, Michelle!❤❤❤❤

[@shameerabanu5496]

Ur videos are so inspiring to watch...love from India....

[@kmlb81]

I love your videos! On photos...I put a photo system in place once I had my kids- I try to do this monthly. I sort through the cell pics and delete the bad ones (or skip if there are too many to go through), I upload them all to my laptop (and wipe them from my phone), I sort them into folders by year/month, and back those up to a portable hard drive. Also on my phone I have google photo backup and amazon photo backup, they back everything up automatically. I also upload them to Snapfish, and I make a yearly calendar out of my favorites. We have a digital frame and I send favorites there throughout the month. Might be overkill but I almost lost baby pics once and never recovered! It doesn't take me long if I do it monthly- like an hour or less.

[@prettypixychick]

You talking about getting emotional seeing your little baby grow made me think of something. I remember when my son was about 7 months old and I started BAWLING my eyes out when we were taking down his little Nemo bouncer. My husband thought I was crazy, but embraced me anyway. 😆

[@Arts13579]

Love these types of videos. Please could you do what I eat in a week, fitness routine healthy habits reset videos. ❤

Where are your pajamas in the morning from? They're so cute!

It was such an Beautiful Incredible Vlog Michelle 💕💕!!! I enjoyed it alot... thank you for making my day😀.. lots of love to you✨

[@kneadysetgrow3220]

Our library has an app that allows you to see their opening hours, they also list it there if they close (for whatever reason). You can also reserve books in advance that way. Plus it shows their agenda and events. Perhaps yours has too!

[@michellereedg]

for some reason, they never post closings on their calendar 😭 that would be super convenient, though!

[@kneadysetgrow3220]

@@michellereedg that would be helpful!

Love all your videos. ❤ Watching you putting a lot of love into everything you do gives me inspiration for my own "to do's". Really like the colors and decorations around your house. Keep doing what you love and make you happy. The best for you and yours. 💕

[@michellereedg]

you are so kind, thank you so much ❤️

[@KatieMovchan]

I love your videos so much! :) I have a 6 month old and I print my photos and put them in a photo album, I use Shutterfly to print and once a week or so I’ll go in and add new photos to album of “print these next” then once I get to like 100 ish photos in the album to print. Ill press print on the app and finalize the order and it made it so easy to keep track of all the photos 🥰 I feel like I need an album per each year of life 🤣🤭🤭 I hope this helps 🙂😇
