I recently read an awesome article about the perfect morning routines for a SAHMs (Stay at home mom). I am not a sahm anymore but I am home majority of the day since I work at night. Honestly most days I get up with my kids. One because I normally don't go to sleep until sometimes 1am after work or two because since their still sleep I figured why shouldn't I get some extra ZZZZZZZZZ! Anyway I started to realize that I was getting up really cranky and my days were not going as smooth as I would like. I really didn't have anytime to adjust to waking up and starting my day. I had to go straight into mommy mode as soon as I got up. And ladies I have two boys so you know they cut me no slack!
Don't get like me ladies and want to clean the house or do any intense work because you are only going to make yourself tired. If you are a working mom like myself try to move those things to your day off and if you are a sahm I feel that cleaning is much easier once my kids are finally asleep at night. So the article had some good tips on what to do in the morning to make you day so much calmer. Take a look!
1. Get up before the kids-The obvious
2. Massage yourself with your fave oil- To loosen up muscles
3. Get pretty- Do you hair put on some cute comfortable clothes
4. Get your soul happy- Listen to music, read bible, or pray
5. Hydrate- If you love coffee have a cup but make sure to drink plenty of water
6. Relax- Last but not least.....SIT DOWN, watch some TV, put your feet up
I woke up this morning 20 minutes before my kids and I could tell the difference just from that little bit of time. So tomorrow I will be waking up earlier. I will let you all know how it turns out. If you like these tips and decide to try it please leave me a comment or two about your morning!
