FiRST DAY of SCHOOL MORNING ROUTINE w/ Mom of 16 KiDS!

this is gonna be rough if you can wake up at least an hour before your kids it is the difference between night and day i'm not kidding nice good job wait yeah get busy get busy everybody get busy i need y'all to report to the dance floor right this minute [Music] who is [Music] [Music] oh my gosh okay good morning so i just woke up 5 30 an hour before i did all summer long it's probably like scary don't mind my little patch like my skin anyways this is gonna be rough because i'm used to sleeping in at least an hour longer i already woke up with a little bit of a headache in the back of my head but this school year is gonna be awesome and so i'm sure in a few days yeah yeah mm-hmm tell me about it i'm sure in a few days we'll get used to it right right yeah what does it take to make a habit yeah right i think 21 days yeah feels gonna be rough but we went to bed a little later last night too than we normally are going to so hopefully i can train i always say that you have to train your nighttime version of yourself to wake up in the morning no i can't even think it's a joy to have teenagers that want to come home i know it's great up to make sure yeah janie isn't starting college yet so she was out last night until midnight because she was doing her last hurrah with her friends having like a back to school party with her friends and meanwhile we like are trying to go to sleep but when the alarm goes off anyway parents of teenagers and kids you just have it rough like i just realized i'm just not gonna have much sleep until i either tell my teenagers they can't hang out anymore at night that's never gonna happen or my babies and little kids don't need to go to school which that's not gonna happen so i guess when we're like we'll sleep when we're 70. we're 62. i think that's how we're gonna be one lecture is gone okay well on that note it's time to wake up and start our day so let me just show you really quickly so i set alarms for everything like it just helps me stay on task even though i know in my mind like i need to go wake up the kids at 6 50. like sometimes when i'm super busy and trying to hurry and do this i don't realize it's 6 50 and there's been many times when you know they've missed the best or other big things because my brain doesn't quite think it's that time yet so i said alarms i keep my phone with me all morning long zoom around town until everything's done but that way it just keeps me on task right at the right moment the whole time so first thing is first so i'm going to go in get my cozy robe on and i'm going to like do my morning prayer scripture study journaling here's the biggest secret if you are a busy mom or if you are overloaded and stressed mom if you can wake up at least an hour before your kids it is the difference between night and day i'm not kidding it is like a huge life changer and when i had four kids under five i remember another mom who had older kids than me telling me that and i didn't believe her i'm like there is no way i'm waking up she woke up at five o'clock i'm waking up at 5 30. but it was a huge example to me and she's like no i'm not kidding if you don't have that hour for yourself before your kids wake up it's just so hard to get on top of your date and she was right and i learned that like yeah when four i had four kids under five so now i try to stick with that because honestly it just helps you so much so that is my hugest bit of advice to you moms out there who may be struggling or just feeling down or just feeling like you can't get on top of your life that is the biggest change wake up an hour early so i'm gonna go do my little morning centering i just caught like my alignment to get things you know figured out in my mind of what i'm gonna do that day i read my scriptures and seek inspiration i talk to the most important person to me which is my heavenly father and i just get prepared to go wake up my cute little kiddos and so i'm gonna go in and do that and i will see you in a minute [Music] i've seen those faces i've heard [Music] [Music] all right guys so i'm done with my morning time this is for me and i'm gonna go up and check on the older kids now their alarms wake them up because you know they're old enough that they can be responsible and wake themselves up and start getting ready um but i just like to check in on them just real quick when i'm done with my own study before i get ready and just make sure that they're awake and getting ready and happy and they're aware that i'm awake that they can come and ask me if they need anything anyway just what i do so i'm gonna go check on them [Music] hello wait show me that look again i like that look are you in the middle curling here yeah nice super cute and lily guess
