Our new Morning Routine!

Hey Guys!

It has been quite a while since I shared our morning routine and it has changed a fair bit recently, so I just thought I would share an updated version!

This is what a typical school day looks like in our home.

6am: My alarm goes off... Really? So not ready for today to happen... My motivation blend lives next to my bed for this reason... I get up and get ready for the day and make a move to get the kiddos up. The oldest one is almost always up and ready before I even get out of bed (hope she keeps this up!). 

6:20am Breakfast time! The kids get their own breakfast out which is usually cereal of some sort, sometimes I am organised enough to have pancakes in the freezer for them to heat up, but today it is Weetbix Bites. TJ gets her Sustagen out and on her cereal on her own which I am very thankful she is willing to have that. 

6:40am The kids have dragged the achor a bit with breakfast. It doesn't usually take them long to eat but they were very chatty today. Time to get teeth brushed and get dressed into their school uniforms! I keep them all on a rack in the hallway so they can see (and I can keep up with what days they need certain uniforms). This is also when oils get put on. InTune on the back of their necks, OnGuard on their feet and today a cough and cold blend on one of the kids. She has a bit of a cough so this is to nip it in the bud so she feels better quicker. This one goes on her spine as well as her feet. 

7am This is when the bags get packed, lunches get made if not already done so. The kids usually have to make their own lunches the night before but sometimes things happen and they don't get done it's not a huge deal. They do know that if I have to make it in the morning, they get a vegemite sandwich and fruit with some crackers of some sort. The girls hair also gets done at this time as well and after that they can read or play quietly until we leave for school.

7:45am Time to leave for school! We don't live far away from the school so it only takes us a few minutes to get there but they like to get there early so they have time to see friends and settle into the school day. P.S They are supervised at all times at school when they get there early so that is not an issue. Usually I will stay there until they go into class anyway (I need time to catch up with my friends too!) so that I can talk with teachers when I need to.
If I stay at the school until they go to class, I am home by about 8:45am so that I can start my morning cleaning routine (more on this to come). 

So there you have my typical morning routine! 
If you have any questions or comments please leave them down below! 

Thanks for reading!

Organising School Uniforms

Hey Guys! When it comes to storing and sorting the kid's school uniforms, it seems we have FINALLY found what works for us! For those who don't know, we have 4 kiddos and my mum works at the kid's school as well, so her uniforms are also stored with the kid's uniforms.  Right next to my desk in the kid's playroom (pretty much only has Lego in it at the moment) we have a clothes rack. The only things that get put on the rack is school uniforms, shoes, the hair box (this keeps all the brushes, hair ties, head bands, etc. together in one place) and school socks.  So here is an overview of what the uniform rack looks like and then I will talk about the sections. We'll talk about hanging the uniforms first! Each person has their own colour coat hanger to make it easier for them to recognise which uniforms are theirs.  BB has pink. Knox has blue. TJ has purple. Liss has white.  Mum has black.  Yes, they are all mixed up at ...

Day in the life

Hey Everyone! As a busy mum of 4, I am pretty much on the go all day. So I just thought, maybe, I would share what one day is like for me. Before I get out of bed in the morning, I like to read one chapter in Proverbs. Proverbs is such a good way of making sure I am reading God's Word daily because it has 31 chapters - a chapter for each day of the month. This way, while I am going through my morning routine, I have something godly running through my brain instead of the chaos of whatever I have on that day.  Next up is coffee... after making sure my teenage son is up and getting ready for the day. I am super lucky because my Mum also lives with us and she gets up a little bit before me and has my coffee ready and waiting for me! While I drink my coffee, the news is generally on in the background. Because my kids are all older, pretty much all I have to do is make sure they are waking up when they are supposed to. Although, one of my children needs a bit more support in getting rea...

My Top 10 Cookbooks!

Hey Guys! You all know I am a mumma of a large family, so I kinda have to have a few favourite cookbooks, right? I do have quite a few cookbooks and websites that I pull from when I am meal planning, particularly when I get stuck with making the same meals over and over (it happens... I am far from perfect guys...).  Some of these are for thermomix recipes specifically, (my goal for the year is to use my thermomix more) while others are just general cookbooks. So lets get into it! 1. Thermomix Every Day Cookbook. This is the cookbook you get with your Thermomix and it has basic recipes and hints and tips to get used to your thermomix. My mum's favourite recipe in this is the custard.  2. Mamabake Cookbook. This is the cookbook I reach for when I have a lot of busy days where I will not have time to cook. There is a lot of slowcooker dump recipes in there that my family love and don't break the budget. 3. Once a Month Cooking by the Stay at Home...
