PRODUCTIVE HOMESCHOOL MOM MORNING ROUTINE||NEW*

[@raisingthemdifferent1618]

I loved that you take fittness serious. Some moms always ask me: "when do find time to exercise?" my answer is always: "make it a priority". And show up. Consistency beats intensity. 😊

[@moniquesurgirl13]

I am just getting into my fitness journey as a single mom. Most days I have to trick myself into working out using pre-workout. Most days that is the only thing that gets me by lol. I am now working on a 5:15 am wake up to fit that workout in before online school. It is hard but you are correct. Make it a priority and get it done by any means.

[@HeatherAudreyLapier]

this mindset has changed my life, i wake up and do bible study then movement at least 5 days a week and it is a game changer for my days

[@laurenac2009]

Watching this really has me realizing there’s no reason I can’t get my 30 min workout in in the morning before my kids wake up. I am not a wake up and workout person at all! I will give it a shot though 😅

[@Cachick9184]

I’m not a morning person at all. I may just need to workout with the kids in the afternoon

[@powersisters1257]

I am so glad to hear I am not the only mom not making breakfast. I was feeling like a horrible mom. Blessings!!

[@susyrodriguez185]

This was so timely! This past Monday I started homeschooling and I was telling my husband I am already feeling burnt out. The working out in the morning is gonna be a game changer for me. Definitely need it! Thanks for the inspiration!!

[@legacybuilder9664]

Ashlee I'm so inspired by your warrior workout. I'm finally at a place of physical recovery that I can focus on strengthening my core. The other day I did 80 sit ups and pushed through with tears but I did it. Thanks for sharing and supporting veteran own businesses. Black riffle coffee is awesome but too much for me. May God bless your family

[@c.s.2125]

Your morning routine inspired my kids and me- thank you!! 💛 PS- If you love her Armor of God study, you have to do Discerning the Voice of God next!! Both are so, SO awesome.

[@GraceandGrit]

Thankyou for that recommendation 🥰

[@julieannlussier2876]

Discerning the Voice of God is so amazing. Yes do it if you can.

[@GracefullyUnraveled]

Discerning the voice of God is definitely amazing, I third that recommendation!

[@KarenReep]

Girl-it took all I had to work out this morning. Thanks for the solidarity and inspo!

[@dreaortiz1601]

I struggle so much with morning workouts in. I know it is what I need to do to keep not have to skip a workout. Thanks for being such an inspiration ❤

[@shan19rae]

One of my fav bible studies I am going through it with my kids in devotions right now👍👍👍 so good, something they need for life.

[@amberharbour6435]

Love seeing the workout in the AM. Super motivating.

[@chrissyt22]

I also get up early to workout (5:30). I just won't have the time later in the day to do it otherwise. I agree that it is hard going from sleep to grind in about 15 minutes! I am doing Beachbodys Barre Blend and it is harder than I thought. I am so sweaty afterwards but feel so good. Love your day in the life videos. Your home is lovely and I love that you burn candles to make it cozy🤗

[@emmahammond741]

I love watching videos like this. Thank you! Do you also have an evening routine video? I think, for me, having a good morning is dependent on what kind of evening/bedtime routine I have, and I've been slacking. I would love to see your evenings & what time you're in bed in order to get up so early. I am not a morning person but would love to be.

[@hannahnicholson9075]

I hear you about the morning workout. I recently switched up to doing my quiet time first and then working out. I find I like having coffee first. But we do different things for the different periods of our lives. Gotta change things up almost every year.

[@GraceandGrit]

Totally!

[@RachelAlyseThomas]

I loved this! MAJOR Props to you for working out immediately after you wake up. I have found that getting my workout in after our morning time and before lunch is the sweet spot for me. The older kids watch the toddler and then after lunch we tackle the rest of our lessons while the toddler naps.

[@MikeKendrickMusic]

Love this! So inspiring. Love that bible study it’s so good!! Her videos are great! ❤️ ❤️ can’t wait to hear more on the kids breakfast solo. Thanks for sharing! Blessings!

[@betsyradford9268]

I really need to change my morning routine and get up earlier but I can never seem to get to bed at a decent time. What time do you go to bed and how do you motivate yourself to do that consistently every night?

[@naominoakes1535]

I also would love any tips on this...lol!

[@raeshellsutherland1958]

In the same boat. Also, how do you get your kids motivated to be ready to go and cheerful for school?

[@alyssaswann9784]

Bc the sleep is sooooo good in those hours lol

[@briannalarsen3601]

Been looking for content like this of a homeschool mama who finds time for devotions AND a hard workout in the morning! I've been struggling to get everything done I want to before we begin our school day. I do have a 19 month old and he often throws a wrench in my productively 😂💙 but he sweetly sleeps in until about 8, so I'm definitely in breakfast mode by that time and not working out. My girls have morning chores and get themselves ready. They've also been helping with breakfast and dishes. Yet somehow I never seem to get it all done before 9. What time did you begin your workout? I similarly workout for 45mins-1hr and finding time to shower and do my devotion are where I struggle. But those are my priorities, so I need to change something!:) Thanks for the awesome content!

[@amandabrown4895]

I so appreciate this inspirational nudge - that you are not a morning workout person but that you are doing it for the good of your kids and your homeschool. THAT is what I need to do. Thank you, Ashley.

[@faithdoucette6487]

Thank you for sharing your morning routine. Very timely. I am actually sitting down today to map out our daily routine and I'm wondering what you had your kids up to during your morning time (forgive me if you mentioned it in the video and I missed it). I'm assuming they focus on making and cleaning up their breakfast, getting dressed and brushed, and their own morning chores? I love how they were ready to meet you at the table at 9am. Do they have an alarm clock to get them up and or alert them to start time?

[@kimberlymcmurry9338]

It took me awhile to figure out early morning workouts. Now it's just apart of my day🤗 When can we officially start burning fall candles? When the temps are in the 80's🤷‍♀️

[@GraceandGrit]

Haha do it!

[@oliviasnyder9991]

My homeschool friend and I were just talking about how I can incorporate working out into my day (homeschool newbie) and your name came up. I’m a gym lover but not sure I’ll be able to make it with my 3 kids and school when they’ll be ready but we’ll see. Love seeing your homeschool routines...they have really helped me and prepared me for this upcoming year. I’m doing that Bible study as well and I agree, it is so timely!

[@FLMegan]

Black rifle is THE BEST! We use the Beyond Black. Had the subscription over a year. We are 7 days in w/using a chore n "flow" schedule & starting time, morning basket alternating science n history & virtues book plus God timeline, most all tgatb subjects...I read classics to them, they read odessey books to each other, Abeka readers for comp check-all while keeping a 1 year old-saving Math n LA for his 2 naps. Ty so much- it's been the happiest, most peaceful (all things considered lol)start in 4 years. I even use my planner and just document what we actually did and mark the weeks. All new to me-All. Your strategies work. I've copied so much. Complete game changer. I have a chronic illness too and the pace is fabulous. My body is happy. We even have time for bike rides and art/play/long lunch. Your impact is prob greater than you know. That's it-Just big thanks from our fam!

[@gingersnaps5979]

30K subs! Woohoo! You totally deserve it! I had to switch my workouts to early morning this homeschooling year too and it’s coming along but I am not a morning person either.

[@GraceandGrit]

Thanks friend! It’s been so tough! We are in this together!

[@crystinanna7829]

Such inspiration with the early workout!! And also- I literally started this bible study a week ago also!! It’s so good and a passage I’ve wanted to meditate on for months. What perfect timing considering 2020. 😅😉

[@journalofahomeschooler]

Taking me forever to get how I was a few months ago, still in process is not being easy. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@kristinmcnulty518]

I tried working out first thing in the morning earlier this week and it was rough. I'm glad to hear it has gotten easier for you!

[@GraceandGrit]

4 weeks in and finally some light!

[@SamanthaH]

My 9 and 7 year old make their own breakfast and it is GLORIOUS. .my 3 and 5 year olds haven't taken the leap yet lol

[@GraceandGrit]

Samantha H. I just started this and I’m questioning why I waited so long!

[@SamanthaH]

Grace and Grit right! Now I’m just waiting for the 3 and 5 year old to get on it hahaha

[@Tabdoggg]

Omg thank you for the inspiration watched this yesterday evening and woke up at 6 am Today to work out currently drinking My Coffee already showered for day I have 3 Lils 4 and under and I need this and I am 4 Months postpartum and everything is so jiggly 😖

[@girlzphonez7894]

I absolutely love that orange caboodle!

[@sandstorme1363]

Thanks for the much needed inspiration. Not sure why someone would dislike this video.

[@lanamarker]

You’re awesome! Thanks for bringing out the best in your viewers 👍

[@alibyebaby2064]

Heck yea!! Black rifle coffee! Loved this vid!

[@Beloveddaughter24]

Awe thank you for taking the time to share 🥰 very encouraging to watch how other mommas are setting out their day! Bless you and your family :)

[@meganb75]

Love that you share your routine and always love seeing how other homeschoolers manage their days! I would recommend that you read the book ROAR by Stacy T. Sims! It’s about women and our body and working out and that we are not little men when it comes to working out and nutrition. I learned that my habit for many years of working out on an empty stomach first thing in the morning was wreaking havoc on my hormones. It’s a must read for moms who love to workout and have kids. Game changer!!!

[@HealthyGroceryGirl]

Love this! Thank you for sharing!

[@katie526]

Love your morning routine! My mornings seem so crazy. My kids are 5 and 3 and wake up at 6! They need constant monitoring....so it’s really hard to do anything, especially a workout, shower or quiet time! Someone please tell me it get easier! Ha ha!

[@Soweav]

Yes! My kiddos are up between 6 and 6:30. I have to remind myself that her kids are older and can be more independent when they wake up.

[@GraceandGrit]

It does! Been there!

[@JessicaSmith-ie7cm]

I am like Katie...4 yo twins and a 6 yo. I do morning workouts sporadically but they MUST be started no later than 5:15ish if I want an actually bath and clean face and moisturized face and decent hair afterwards. My normal workout time is midday so 2ish and if I can’t get it in then its right before dinner 5/6ish. I tried once going all in at 5 and I was like whoa...I am too tired for this. Funny how I had no problem hitting the gym at 5 before lockdown. So strange.

[@rachellebroda4433]

I have the same problem..every headband I wear within hours gives me a headache...ugggg Love your routine and its definitely something I've been wanting to do.Goo girl keep it up. I'm going to start working out early too. Your a great mom.God bless.

[@GreenISHKatie]

Really enjoyed watching this! I also homeschool 4 kids, but have recently started working Full-time, so it’s been a struggle for me to have a routine. You’ve inspired me to try harder. 💗

[@MomOfMany]

I just stumbled on your channel and I’m excited! So good to see Christian mamas 😊

[@GracefullyUnraveled]

This is WAY different than your usual video style and I have to say that I LOVE it!! & we have tried almost all of the coffee blends from BRCC my fave is the Beyond Black!

[@GraceandGrit]

Gracefully Unraveled ohhhh going to add that to my list! Thanks!

[@FLMegan]

Same. I can smell that bag in another room when my hubs opens it. It's one of my top 3 most favorite things bahaha. I tried the organic too. Nope. That Black is the ticket. Been on membership a year. I'm hooked!

[@Thebergnest]

So inspirational!! I love it! Thank you for sharing :)

[@navigodelaney119]

We homeschooled the whole way, and my kids are in college now. This made me nostalgic. Enjoy the journey. The days are long, but the years are short. It is all worth it! My now adult kids are amazing, kind, wonderful hardworking people who love the Lord -- and their faith was strengthened rather than derailed during college because of the time we had to build our faith together as a family instead of rushing through. We spent time teaching the kids why we believe in Jesus, and love covers a multitude of sins. Bravo, momma! You will never regret it.

[@octaviawilliams3159]

I admire you!!

[@elissastaaf8738]

I love your simple makeup routine, that's exactly what I do too with the same types of products.

[@cierrafairchild5320]

I just found your channel and just want to thank you so much for sharing! We are starting our first year of homeschooling with the good and the beautiful and you’ve provided so much help with what I’ve watched so far! We have 4 kiddos too (9, 7, almost 5 and almost 3) and you’re giving me hope that homeschooling may actually work haha :)

[@Ourhomeschooladventures]

Wow you have a very productive day!

[@mamatofive1]

Great view of your morning, Ashlee! I work out first thing too, and YES! So hard to get my body moving and into a rigorous workout right after waking up! That book you’re reading looks so good! ❤️

[@GraceandGrit]

Mama to Five yes! Way tough! Really have to warm up!

[@meghanlozada]

Your DITL videos are definitely my favorite videos that you make. I do however enjoy the ones better when you talk to the camera versus the ones with the voice over. Just in case you wanted feedback. Keep on keepin on!

[@GraceandGrit]

Thanks for your opinion! I don’t do many voiceovers so you’re in luck!

[@alyssaswann9784]

Absolutely love this

[@DallaceLaDawn]

I can definitely tell a difference when I don’t wake up early enough, but a young baby makes that hard sometimes lol. Thank you for sharing!!

[@tamicoudron760]

Black rifle. Thin blue line. I look forward to it each day too! New to your channel. New to homeschooling. Grateful for tour inspiration ❤️

[@OLIVEYT907]

I’m happy I found your channel! This will be my first year homeschooling.

[@GraceandGrit]

Happy homeschooling!!

[@OLIVEYT907]

Grace and Grit thank you 🙂

[@miyahbailey4256]

BRCC is taking over the coffee world :) Great post. Thank you

[@angiegracewellnessfreedom7544]

Definitely going to try your workout tomorrow!!! I want to get a new espresso machine and I'm going to look into yours. I remember when you got it. You look so good in stripes!! Your makeup caboodle is adorable!!! So motivating.. loved this video!!!

[@GraceandGrit]

Life With Angie you’re so sweet, thankyou!

[@katies5658]

Brand new subscriber and I loved the video!! I am trying to start working out in the morning and the struggle is real! This was so motivating!

[@selenaojeda143_]

so HAPPY I found your channel.

[@ThisMamasHouse]

That pencil caddy on your table is fantastic! Where did you get it!?

[@GraceandGrit]

Thankyou!!! Michaels!

[@julieannlussier2876]

Yay! Thank you. Gosh I need to do this. I know I would feel so much better. Thanks for the inspiration. I need to find a very beginner workout 😜 so far we are going for a walk together but I need to step it up and work on muscle mass. Thanks again.

[@amberleggio335]

We just were in Boerne, Texas at Black Rifle Coffee shop!!!!!!! Kids loved it and attached to it is a gun store lol Teen boys were all about it.

[@selahnesmith8605]

Love you and your kids! Thank you!❤️

[@jenniferroundtree65]

You are a rockstar! So glad you share your life with us! Super inspiring :).

[@chelsienielsen828]

Oh wow!!! I would have to go to bed at 8:45 to be able to get up on 5:45 in the morning. Yes that is 9 hours of sleep. I have found that any less than that and I am so cranky and irritable. This might be doable for me though. I am not a person who exercises and I was just told today by my doc that I better start. So I am gonna start.

[@Mrs.HCarlisle]

Congrats on 30K!!

[@GraceandGrit]

Thankyou!!!

[@tiny.terrorist.negotiator]

My routine: 6:30 wake up, stumble downstairs in an absolute zombie state. Locate coffee. Sit on couch and down 3 cups in silence. 9:30 start school. I really really need to up my game 😂

[@jordandavidson3963]

Loved it! Similar to mine, and it made me feel better to see it took about 3 hours. I want to start homeschool between 8:00-8:30, but it's usually more like 9 for us too! This helped me have more realistic expectations for what I want to accomplish in a given amount of time, plus my kids are younger and still need more help (7, 5, and just turned 2! 😜)

[@AmongStouts]

Love your updated routine! Thanks for sharing about your study, I’m definitely going to need to grab that.☺️

[@jennymendoza1102]

I subscribed because I saw your gym and the type of workout you are doing 😆 and in top of that you are a home school mama!! 👌

[@EJDforhealth]

This was great! So glad I found you!

[@DarlineAris]

I saw the armor of God I said this is my sister in Christ I have to subscribe 🥰

[@krystlehammond1447]

I'm definitely not a an early morning workout gal. And with our two newest babes I would have to get up at 5:15 to get a workout in 😬. Hoping they settle into a slightly later morning soon, then I can attempt this! I've missed working out, definitely helps qith my patience level for homeschool time

[@cyndimoss426]

I am so glad I came across this video! My family and I are leaning towards homeschooling and I have been on a fitness journey the last couple of months. I have been wanting to order the Armor of God study guide. We did go over it in one of our life groups but was wanting to study it at home with the guide.

[@jerilyn-ourhomeschooltable]

So productive before I even get up. I'm not a morning person. 😂 Do you have a favorite candle company?

[@kc8009]

That orange Caboodle though.... 😍 Must. Have. It. Link please?!?

[@GraceandGrit]

Target! Not sure they still have

[@specializedmommabear1016]

I loved that study as well!

[@bia-z5y]

Where did you buy your orange makeup case? Loved it! 😍

[@GraceandGrit]

Target!

[@bia-z5y]

Grace and Grit But, what’s the name of the brand? I don’t have Target where I live. 😭

[@rusticheritagecrochet]

Loved this so much! Can you link your Bible? Looks so nice...I'll have to check out that Bible study, too. It looks good. I'm almost ready to start a new one. :)

[@GraceandGrit]

She reads truth! Just google that

[@rusticheritagecrochet]

@@GraceandGrit Thanks!

[@ProgressOverPerfction]

FYI: if you find yourself wanting to have your Bible study books to lay flat, Office Depot/Maxx can cut off spine and bind for less than $5. SO worth the cost to have an easier to use workbook. We started Armor of God and then the shutdown started.

[@kaylasa.b.c8504]

Get it girl !!!

[@ProgressOverPerfction]

I was thinking “whew!” I needed this! I have a 3 year old and 7 year old and it looks like the kids coming to mama doesn’t end. 😉

[@nowhereplace.26]

Beside get ready and eat... what do you're kids do before school?

[@petrasilvertongue8946]

You recommended American eagle shirts- which style is that I love it

[@socalmoore8463]

Do you have a link to your homeschool organizer you use on the table for the markers and colored pencils? It’s white. By the way, I love all your videos. I never watched KZbin before I found your channel!

[@SunnyGonzalezCepero]

Great routine. Mom of 8 here. Just wondering what your children are doing while you are doing your morning routine like your makeup and quiet time? I can't keep mine out of my hair lol

[@kristenransom9698]

I love Priscilla Shirir I read Fervent & loved it. And just started a new one of hers. Awaken I think.

[@alisabethjeffery1178]

It would be so nice to do this! Unfortunately my 2 year old twins wake up whenever I wake up, no exceptions. 😬

[@amberdzubinski]

Loved this video 😁 I workout in the mornings too and love having bit done and out of the way.

[@123jennreyes]

Blanket do you have on your bed? It looks cute but also it looks thinner than a comforter!

[@lizee708]

You and your husband are so cute! We are up at 4am, that's our time together before hubs has to go to work. I do my work and anything else that needs to be done before the kids are up at 730. I'm thinking about switching to working out in the mornings versus in the evenings. I hope you know how much of an inspiration you are to so many!

[@melissalaster4727]

I'm so jealous of you morning people! I just can't do it! Part of my problem, too, is that if I get up my birds will hear me and start screaming to be uncovered and let out. They are so loud they'll wake the entire house up! And my kiddos really need to sleep in until about 8 or it makes for a bad day for everyone! Haha! So, I have to hide in my room until I'm ready for everyone to wake up. Of course, the spoiled feathered babies don't say a WORD when my husband gets up to leave for work. It's only if they hear ME that they start screaming. I guess I've done that to myself! 🙄😂

[@GraceandGrit]

Oh I’m NOT. A morning person 😂

[@theadventuresofrobyandamelia]

Black rifle coffee is my favorite

[@DiscerningDaughter]

Love this video and recently subscribed! Could you do a nighttime routine video?

[@bethanybarry829]

Enjoyed! Thanks for the inspiration

[@darlenejones1886]

Loved this video!

[@kristenbarkey5540]

Do you have any advice on exercising for me...I have really bad knees ...I’ve dislocated them 6 times in the last 5 years and I have gained so much weight. It’s so discouraging. Thanks for your videos!

[@kellys6164]

I absolutely loved The Armor of God study. I did it a few years ago. I highly suggest The Quest by Beth Moore. Enjoyed that one too.

[@crystalrodgerson3973]

Random question - are you satisfied with your Suburban?? I’ve had a minivan for the past 7 years, but have wanted a suburban, just didn’t know if it would be too big for me to drive around everyday. (I’m a very paranoid driver haha).

[@rachaelmilne5574]

Love this! What time are you waking up?

[@asdfgqeh]

I definitely feel like a total slacker😩. How did you become a morning person?

[@katiemurphy3601]

Priscilla Shirer is excellent. Thanks for sharing! I'm going to have to get it.

[@CrystalChristianStore]

Hi sweetie. Today I feel proud of me lol 😂. All mom’s complaining in Facebook because they got to have the kids in home🤭 I don’t have right now but I was have them before for two years. So for me it’s nothing from the other world 🌎 🤣🤣🤣

[@melissab6144]

My son ordered a lego Star Wars set to arrive in September. We ordered it so long ago I think he may have forgotten about it 🤭

[@laceyramsey1286]

Great video 👌☺️....just curious what is your homeschooling curriculum? 🥰

[@ldv02]

I need to push myself to wake up early and do my workout! Ty
