In this video I’m taking you through my real-life morning routine with Freya at eight months old, as a first-time mum here in the UK. This is genuinely how our mornings go — not an aesthetic vlog — so it’s a mix of getting myself together quickly, keeping Freya happy, and trying to get a few bits done without it all feeling chaotic. I also share what Freya eats in the morning, plus the little habits and “systems” that make our routine feel more manageable. I chat through the products I actually reach for (especially my quick Superdrug skincare bits) and the things that keep Freya busy while I’m sorting breakfast or doing a few minutes of self-care — like the playmat, piano toy, and sensory bits. If you’re in that stage where you’re googling “eight month old routine” and wondering if you’re doing it right, I hope this feels reassuring and realistic. Pop any questions in the comments — I’m always happy to share what’s working for us as we navigate this stage together.
