Routine..Routine..Routine..
I've been in the workplace from high-school and I always had a daily routine at work. With my last job it was crucial to take the time each evening or when I first came in to jot down everything that needed to get tackled. I had a daily, weekly and monthly lists of to-dos. When I had the baby in March I stopped doing those lists and it went this way until I officially decided to leave the workplace and be a full time mommy. I was desperate for creating a normal routine for myself just like I had when I would go to work. Granted things that would be on my to-do list now aren't has crucial to get done like when I was at work but by having a routine and a to-do list for each day/week/month I knew I could feel less stressed about cleaning or paying bills or laundry etc.
So here is a little glimpse into my daily routine.
My morning starts around 6/6:30am. I go to Stroller Fitness on M/W/F at 9am. On those days I get up around 5:45/6am to get my AM routine done before Kaitlyn wakes up.
AM Routine - Make Coffee, Dishes, Wipe down counters/cabinets in bathroom/kitchen/living room, Quick Mop the floors in the same rooms (with Kaitlyn being mobile now I want to make sure all surfaces she touches are clean), make bed, straighten up the living room/kitchen/bathroom, put out morning snack (Fruit or Granola), Put out Water Bottle (these two things help me from grabbing unhealthy items), eat breakfast, shower and change clothes. Make Kaitlyn's bottle and cereal
Normally by the time I finish my AM routine Kaitlyn will be up and ready to go. This is normally by 7/730am. I will then change her diaper, and feed her. Depending on if it's stroller fitness day we will either leave once she's done eating or if it's not stroller fitness day she will then play until her nap (830/9am) and during her play time I do my morning Fitness routine at home.
Once she goes down for her nap I will have Mommy time. Check Emails/Computer Time/Pay Bills/Etc..I do this until she wakes up. When she wakes up we have Kaitlyn time which is us doing developmental skills together and based on the weather we will go outside.
Then throughout the day I continue to tackle my to-do list.
Around 430/5pm I will start my PM Routine which involves - Preparing Dinner, lightly straightening up from the day, make husband and his co-worker lunch, clean up after dinner, prepare my to-do list for the next day and set-up in the kitchen. Then it's TV time!
So that's a glimpse into my daily routine.. What's yours? Comment below!
