morning meraki

The worst part for me about being a working mom is that I am at work for the better part of the day; by the time I get home my girls are busy playing with their friends and barely even notice me.  Once we call them in for the night they are tired and cranky and more often than not had "the worst day of my life!" just because they had to stop playing so they could eat and spend a little quite time before having to get ready for bed.  This is why I cherish my morning routine...

4:00 am - alarm goes off, out of bed, workout
5:00am - get ready for work
6:00am - wake the girls up, make warm chocolate milk and a chocolate shake, SNUGGLE MY BABIES!

The time that I spend with them in the morning has made a night and day difference in not only how smoothly our mornings go but how much happier I am.  It no longer matters how the rest of the day will play out; I can carry that moment with me and revert back to those feelings with a warm heart and a smile.

Love these girls!
