REAL NIGHT ROUTINE FOR WORKING MOM | Working Mom Evening Routine | Prepare for the Next Day

[Music] give me love give me all your love all cause i want you [Music] no one else makes me feel this way hi guys welcome back to my channel so today we are tackling our nighttime routine so i'm gonna go over everything from making dinner to getting the kiddos ready for bed and then getting everything ready for the next day so the next morning can go smoothly and then end with a little bit of self-care so we do it all today so as you saw i drive home around five o'clock so i get out of work at 4 30 and i it gets me home a little bit after five so i have to get right into cooking dinner so this night i was just making some caprese chicken with asparagus on the side and some noodles it was delicious and i will do this while jay puts the babies in the tub and then i will work on getting kai to bed because he goes to bed pretty early around six and then brecken goes to bed around seven so we just kind of do all the things all at one time and we just tag team everything right here i'm getting kylen's bag ready for the next day i only have to pack clothes for him so i'll empty out what i have the day before and then put in a new pair so that way i can just grab his bag in the morning when we're ready to go and then i will scoop little man up and we will get our jams on for the night i forgot to mention while i'm cooking i also nurse him still so he nurses like right when we get home and then i feed him a little bit he doesn't usually get our dinner on weeknights unless i'm like really on my a game and i got it done but i don't have much time so it doesn't usually happen but he'll eat a little something and then we get in jams and he goes down we go out and eat dinner with brecken and hang out for a little while and then it's time to get back and ready for the next day and ready for bed no one else makes me feel this way don't know what you do hold my hand could you hold my hand look me in the eyes you and me yeah that's all i need and i'll be all right i'll be right here i swear that i'll stay here with you oh closer three dreams love me [Music] [Music] and i like to hop right into cleaning up um because if i sit down i'm not getting back up so i will clean up the kitchen a little bit a lot of times jay will do this and he also he does the dishes but this night he was working on something in the garage so i just took care of all of it and then i will always try to pick up the living room just so we can start the day fresh i'm not super particular about this like i've said before i can go to bed with a dirty not a dirty house but like a messy house like toys and stuff everywhere and it doesn't like totally wreck me but if i can wake up to a clean house it's definitely better so just putting away some dinner and then i also take this time to get myself ready for the next day so i'll you'll see i'll fill up my water bottle and then that's really all i have to do i'll fill up a coffee cup sometimes just so i can grab it and go but uh yeah i don't have too much to do because i just take already made stuff for lunch i try to keep it as streamlined as possible [Music] hey guys so it is the next morning and i was editing the video and i realized it just kind of like dropped off in the middle of getting ready for the next day and everything so last night when i was filming this brecken was feeling some big feelings um i think he was just worn out from being at daycare all day so it didn't feel right to film him during that time um so things started to level out a little bit but i wasn't gonna bring out the camera and shove it in his face so um i just wanted to kind of touch base on a couple of things so all throughout the evening jay is also helping with things so like you'll notice i didn't go pick them up from daycare because jay got out of work earlier than i did so he went and got them from daycare so i could just come home and do dinner really quick so while i'm making dinner jay is giving the boys a bath and then while i'm putting kai to bed jay is getting his pajamas on he's doing um he's brushing his teeth with him that way once kai is down i can come out and break in and i can just hang out together for a while and a lot of times dinner isn't done until after kai goes to bed so i will kind of get it done right before he falls asleep put him to bed jay gets broken ready then we eat dinner together and then we'll usually just let him watch a show he's obsessed with henry danger on netflix right now i think we've watched it through like a thousand times so and he calls it hangry danger and it cracks me up so so yeah so we usually uh we'll snuggle we'll watch that and then him and i do bedtime together so we'll go in he'll pick out a book or two and we will snuggle in his bed read together um i ask him what his favorite part of his day was and we talked about that for a minute and then um he goes to bed and that's when it kind of picks back up all right sorry i'm back kyle and woke up so i had to have him behind the camera eating some blueberries so we've been out playing for a while so i also wanted to like touch really quick on what i do the night before and like to get me ready for the next day so i pick out both the boys clothes and can you hear kyle smacking on his blueberries figure i will uh get the kids clothes picked out i get my water bottle filled up like you saw i for lunch i always take just one of those salad kits i used to be one of those people that are like i'm not going to spend the extra money on a salad kit that i can just make but it saves me time and it makes it so i actually eat salad instead of just taking other junk to eat so i'll take that and i usually take like one of those premiere protein shakes um just to kind of hold me over till dinner and then um and then usually like a piece of fruit so those are all things that i can literally just grab and throw into my bag so the key is just to make sure that you are not having to prepare anything in the morning so and then if like i needed to pack the boys lunches i would do that the night before so we could just grab and go so i'll even fill up my like tumbler with coffee like because i drink uh iced coffee in the morning i'll fill that up so i can just grab it out of the yeah i will just grab it right out of the fridge and be out the door i'll also i will pack my bag the night before so if any like work stuff or anything like that when i used to have to pump at work i would get all of my pump hearts ready all of that in my bag i'd have my pump ready because that way in the morning you're not thinking like oh did i remember everything like because you're you're scrambling in the morning so what i would do is i would come home and clean all of the pump parts and have them drying while i'm doing dinner and then i would pack them right yeah so then i would and then i'd pack it all away in my bag so i can just again grab it and go i don't pick out like my own clothes because who knows what i'm going to want to wear the next day but it doesn't really save me that much time what does save me time is picking out brecken's clothes the night before because then there is no argument in the morning he already has it laid out there's no negotiation like it's just like this is what you're wearing he's not the type of kid that would argue with me about it but if it's just if there is i'd rather do that at night than in the morning when i'm trying to get out the door yeah i don't do too much like i said in my morning routine i try to keep things pretty simple and not over complicate them because why uh there i don't i think sometimes in the name of being organized we make things more complicated than they need to be so um yeah just fill out my water fill up my coffee have grab-and-go stuff for lunch and that's about it um i think the only other kind of tip that i have is to make sure you meal plan so you are not getting out of work at five o'clock and wondering what you're gonna make that night so i think that's it that's all the rambling i need to do and kylan obviously needs some attention let's just continue on with the night so here is where i will try to throw in a little workout i did pilates this night and then i will take a shower and i would do my skincare and then from here it's just out on the couch with jay so we like to end our night with a show or something and then i usually go to bed around 10 o'clock so i hope this is helpful for you if you have any questions just leave them down in the comments and i will get back to you and like it if you liked it please subscribe i would love to have you here and i am wishing you the calmest and best night ever
