In today’s vlog I’m taking you along for what my days actually look like as a mom of four—early wake-ups (Harper was ready to party at 6am), real-life homeschool, and all the random chaos that pops up in a normal day at home. I share a little Lent rhythm I’m trying to keep this year—nothing overwhelming—just the Hallow Lent challenge (Pray 40: The Return) and making sure we do Stations of the Cross with the kids on Fridays. I also show some of our morning routine: easy breakfast, vitamins/greens for picky eaters, and then we jump into school with the big kids while I’m trying to juggle naps for the littles. I also share what I’ve been meal prepping lately (freezer pancakes, breakfast sandwiches, and energy bites), because having grab-and-go food helps me so much when we’re trying to start school and I’m tempted to skip eating. We do some intentional one-on-one playtime in the playroom (because Sean really needs that “fill his cup” time), and I chat about the books we’ve been loving—Frog and Toad, Brambly Hedge, and Aesop’s Fables—plus my very middle-of-the-road take on screen time. And of course, there’s a little homeowner drama sprinkled in…because apparently nothing is ever simple when you own an older house.
