Then pump/make tea and have cereal while DS is in his excersaucer. Then we play until around 9 when Ds has his breakfast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-morning-ritual#post-2029123 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 09:02:06 +0000 artsyfartsy 2029123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>T wakes me up because he's an early riser.<br /> Right now, it's temp when he wakes me up, get up and change his diaper. Give him a bottle while I drink coffee and check my phone. Play a little, make breakfast and eat breakfast together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-morning-ritual#post-2029122 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 09:00:18 +0000 Mae 2029122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually: DH gets up with LO and I sleep an extra hour. I get up, get dressed/etc, and go downstairs and take over baby care until she gets tired (30-60 min usually). Then I put her down for a nap and make breakfast and have a cup of coffee and watch some tv, which is usually the calmest/laziest part of my day and I love it :) </p> <p>Sometimes I get up with LO then: Get baby up and changed. Take her downstairs and feed the dog. Give baby her medicine. Let the dog out. Feed the cats and give cat his medicine. Make a bottle and feed LO. Then we play for an hour or two until she is ready for a nap and I put her down and get my breakfast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-morning-ritual#post-2029113 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 08:53:14 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2029113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO wakes up. If she's happy in her bed, I take 5 to 10 minutes to meditate/pray/read my bible. If she isn't I just go to the bathroom, grab my robe and head out. Then LO and I snuggle and watch cartoons while she eats a banana, we change her diaper and start breakfast. After breakfast I check my phone, empty the dishwasher and then we get ready for our day. I enjoy my mornings with her but they aren't that relaxing lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-morning-ritual#post-2029103 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 08:48:13 +0000 Synchronicity 2029103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Check my email on my phone, bathroom stuff, feed the dog and make coffee. No LOs yet, so mornings are usually pretty peaceful. </p> <p>@mrbee: I need to set time aside for morning meditation, too. I usually meditate at night but I think both would be more beneficial. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-morning-ritual#post-2029064 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 07:49:40 +0000 mrbee 2029064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Meridian: it really depends! Woke up at 5 and kids will probably wake up soon. So maybe 3 hours today?</p> <p>Usually I get an hour or two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-morning-ritual#post-2029061 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 07:46:28 +0000 Meridian 2029061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How much quiet time do you have to yourself before the kids are up?</p> <p>Right now my ritual depends on LO, so there isn't much of a ritual... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-morning-ritual#post-2029043 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 06:45:03 +0000 mrbee 2029043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually wake up, check my phone and then brush my teeth. Trying to add in a new step of morning meditation, if I have enough time. Then I feed the cat, do the dishes, and start breakfast. It's a thrill a minute over here!</p> <p>Do you have a morning ritual? </p>
