Good morning guys — in this video I’m bringing you along for our early spring morning routine as a mum of four in South East England, and it starts very, very early. Baby gal had a rough night with a cough and was basically on me nursing, so I got up before the normal morning chaos to have a little quiet time, get myself ready, and get a head start on the day. I show you what helps our mornings feel calmer: feeding the pets, prepping an easy breakfast (I make a big batch of quick muffins that we can eat today and have leftover for other days), getting dressed and doing a tiny bit of makeup, then getting everyone moving and out the door for the school run. I also share a realistic tired-mum moment (I stop at Starbucks for my favourite iced blonde brown sugar oat shaken espresso), then we come home and my main non-negotiable lately is getting straight outside for fresh air — even in England when the weather is usually shocking. We do a sunny dog walk, I babywear in a wrap, and I chat about a lead that’s made walks so much more enjoyable because it has a springy section to soften the pulling. Once baby gal is down for a nap, I get stuck into real life admin — emails, collabs, contracts, teacher planning and assessments — and then I use the rest of nap time to crack on with some cleaning. It’s a gentle, realistic routine that keeps me organised without losing that slow living feeling.
