MY STAY AT HOME MOM MORNING ROUTINE MAY 2017 / SPRING SAHM EDITION

Leave a reply

Today I’m sharing an ideal version of our spring morning routine for may 2017. As a stay at home mom, things don’t always go this smoothly, but this is a general idea of what we do to start our day. Some mornings the young ones wake up happy, but some days they wake up cranky and we have to take it slow and enjoy lots of cuddles before we do anything productive. Please keep in mind that SAHM routines or day in the life / get ready with me videos are meant to be a source of inspiration, not an object of comparison. Nobody has a perfect morning every morning. Also, a lot of my morning routine is contingent on whether or not I followed my evening routine the night before! I’ll get around to making an evening routine video eventually, but the idea is that if I don’t do an evening living room tidy and kitchen cleanup the next morning my house will not look like it does in this video! I am working on my cleaning habits and routines, but I also have to be patient with myself. As a momma of littles my time is not my own and I have to be ok with that during this season. Love you all! -Juli

P.S. I do my hair and makeup in the afternoon and we do our Bible study along with school and at night. 😉

THRED UP HAUL MAY 2017 (DRESSES)

Leave a reply

Hey everybody! Here is what I got from Thred Up! I was happy with the quality of my purchases. Shopping for clothes online is so fun! I don’t shop for
clothes often, but Thred up makes it super easy with sizing descriptions and item quality descriptions. I really enjoy buying great quality gently used items at a huge discount! I love that these items are saved from the landfill and I get to save money in the process! I’m not a big fan of trying to try stuff on at the store when I have my kids with me, so shopping online is the best and easiest way for me to buy clothes from brands I like! Have you ever shopped with Thred-up? What kind of deals did you get? Let me know in the comments, be sure to like this video and subscribe for future videos! Thanks for watching! = D
