7am - wake up, make coffee, feed ES kids breakfast (usually waffles, fruit, oatmeal or cereal) and pack up their lunches.

8am - make coffee for DH and wake him up. Dress, brush teeth, contacts, vitamin c serum and sunscreen. Check work emails. Make sure everyone has what they need for school that day (water, library books, homework etc.)

9am - walk kids to school, start WFH

On WOH days I leave at 8:30 and DH takes the kids to school.

In the summer I wash my face in the morning, but in winter it gets too dry. Sometimes I swipe micellar water over my T zone if it looks shiny.

wake up around 6 , take a shower for 30 min then get dressed then put my hair up in a bun so it does not get in my way. then do my makeup on then u dry my hair out then style it how ever i want then i get my socks ready with my shoes and then get my backpack and make sure that i have every thing that i need to go with and then get shoes on then head out. to the bus stop and wait for the bus to get there which takes around 30 min about it takes 10 min to get to my school to get to my house.

Wake up around 7 AM and brush
Get coffee from the pot already brewed
Get back in bad and drink coffee, do word games, text with boyfriend
If kids are with me I then make them breakfast. If not I stay in bed.
Think about my day
Start getting ready for the day anywhere from 8:30 to 10:30 depending on what I have going on.
If I don't have to be anywhere in the morning (pilates, kid transport to hs, etc) I am at least up and ready for the day by 11.

Thank you for posting your 4am wakeup! I've been waking up at 4:45am and need to push it back to 4:30am to get my workout in and not continue to be late for work (teacher who needs to be at school by 7:30am). Thank you for the motivation!

I’m a woman with two kids, ages 2 and 3.5. I work hybrid and have an equal partner spouse.

Wake up at 7:30. Get dressed. Contacts in. Brush hair and put it in a braid. Brush teeth. Deodorant. On WFH days, go upstairs and “make” breakfast (cereal, oatmeal, cottage cheese or similar with fruit and veggie on the side). On in office days, husband does breakfast and instead I pack for work and throw together my lunch.

Kids up at 7:45.

Wake up at 6:15 make coffee. Walk the dog 6:25/30 for 1/2 hour. Feed dog and drink coffee, look at work email and social media until about 7:30. Shower. If I have teams meetings put on make up and style hair. At my desk by 8. This deviates if I have an earlier meeting or if it’s raining and I only take dog for a few minutes. The adjustment is in what time I wake up. Will get up earlier.I like the 1/2 hour I have to sit with my coffee and it’s quiet in the morning.
