Morning Routine as a Mompreneur

Source: ColorJoy Stock

After the hustle and bustle of getting the kiddos ready and dropped off at school (Gary takes Solomon, I take Olivia), I try to slow down a bit before starting work. Having a morning routine has helped me stay mentally stable, and consistent with my goals as a mom and entrepreneur.

Every morning isn’t the same. Some mornings, I’m driving into the studio for a shoot or meeting a client on location. The kids get dropped off at school by 8:30am, so my work day doesn’t really start until around 9am. But most days when I’m working from home are like this:

9am: Breakfast (love a bagel, omelet or toast with fruit)

I also meet with my trainer twice per week at 9am, so I’ll eat breakfast on the go or before I do school drop-off.

9:30am-11:30am: Sit down at my desk to reply to and send e-mails, shoot prep and client calls on Mondays and sometimes Tuesdays. Wednesday through Friday is open for client shoots.

I’ve been working on taking frequent and intentional screen breaks, and moving my body for better health. I’ll get up to stretch, walk around the house, chat with Gary for a bit (he also works from home) or take a walk outside.

How to Create a Morning Routine as a Mompreneur

If you don’t currently have a consistent morning routine, and often feel frazzled, here are a few steps to get started:

  • Wake up earlier. I noticed my mornings improve when I started waking up an hour or two before my kids wake up. It gives me time to calm my mind, and even get a headstart on the day. If you wake up just before it’s time to get the kids ready (or maybe they’re waking you up), you may want to start there.
  • Make a list. If you don’t remember what needs to get done each day, either write it down in your agenda, in your Notes app on your phone or create reminders in Google Calendar. I have reminders for everything, including when I’m supposed to pick the kids up from school! If it doesn’t get added to the calendar, I’ll likely forget.
  • Don’t skip breakfast. I’m preaching to the choir here. I’m not usually hungry in the morning, so I often have to force myself to eat something. Even if it’s a cup of fruit or half a bagel, make a habit of eating breakfast. I’ve noticed my mind is more clear, and I feel more productive.

Here’s a quick snapshot of a typical morning working from home.

What is your morning like after the kids go to school?

What’s your go-to manicure for spring? 💅🏼 What’s your go-to manicure for spring? 💅🏼
I’ve been getting dip manicures for the last 6 months and I’m obsessed! It keeps my nails looking nice much longer than gel and my nails grow so much faster and stronger.
My go-to style is French but I want to try some different designs and colors soon!

These two little people have given me such a different perspective of life and motivation to be a better me.
Thankful for all I’ve learned these past 10+ years of motherhood and am still learning. They give me so much joy and challenge my capacity for patience all at the same time 😂
Thinking of all the mamas this weekend and all that we sacrifice for our families. Also thinking of the moms who are mourning a child and those who are still hoping for their season of mommyhood.
I hope you celebrate yourself this weekend, and give yourself grace. Get as much rest as you can!

Blazer outfit inspo for curvy girls ✨ I’ve be Blazer outfit inspo for curvy girls ✨
I’ve been on the hunt for new blazers for spring and summer that fit well for plus size women. There are some great options out there! I’m wearing an hm blazer that can be pretty much worn yearround but I’m looking for a white linen blazer and a pastel color blazer that I can wear for the warmer months.
The boxy oversized blazer can be tricky since I’m top heavy, so I’m looking for a good balance. But this one is good with workwear like a simple dress or jeans and a button down.
Are you a blazer kinda gal? If so, how do style them?
P.S. I’ve linked a few blazers in my cart in my link in bio or in the shop.ltk app!

The kids will both soon be going to a STEM school, and Solomon’s favorite subject is math. We’ll see what Olivia’s fave subject is, but she loves playing doctor. Maybe science?
They have quite a few STEM toys and games, so we were excited to get some board games from simplyfun. Each game focuses on developing those skills and making it fun!
Are your kiddos into STEM-centered games? If so, what are their faves? We’re always looking for new ones!
