Introduction to Sam's Mornings

Hey, it's Sam! I'm one-half of the Crude Twins, and today I wanted to take some time to take y'all through my morning routine. I'll give you a heads-up, it's quite boring. I am one of the least exciting persons you'll probably ever meet. Regardless, let's get into it.

Weekday Morning Routine

My morning routine looks different during the week compared to the weekend. So, I'll start with my work week routine. First off, I'm not a fan of waking up early to go to work. I'm usually a morning person because I like to go to bed early as well. I get up typically around 6:00 AM.

The first thing I do is grab a cup of coffee. It's my morning elixir that helps me feel human. With coffee in hand, I check emails and messages to stay updated. Then I move on to getting ready for work. This involves a quick shower, dressing up in comfortable yet professional attire, and a simple skincare routine. I like to keep it minimal yet effective.

Prepping Kids for the Day

As a mom, my next task is to get the kids ready for school. This involves waking them up, which is no small feat, ensuring they brush their teeth, and helping them get dressed. Breakfast is usually quick and healthy, like yogurt with granola or scrambled eggs. Once everyone is fed and dressed, we're out the door for school drop-offs by 7:30 AM.

Weekend Morning Routine

Weekends are a little more relaxed. I still wake up early, around 7:00 AM, but I allow myself a bit more leisure time. My first task is to make some pancakes or waffles - a weekend tradition the kids love. After breakfast, we usually have some family time, which could be anything from playing board games to a quick trip to the park.

I still maintain my basic skincare routine and try to squeeze in a short workout if possible. This helps me feel energized and ready to tackle whatever the weekend brings.

Conclusion

So there you have it, my morning routine as a millennial mom. It's nothing extraordinary, but it's what works for me and my family. Routine gives structure to our busy lives and ensures that we start our days on the right foot.
