Morning Routine with 4 Kids And Coffee!

Good Morning! Birds are chirping, sun is coming up, and kids are waking up! Coffee is brewed and mamma is enjoying a cup! Mornings can be hard, whether you have kids in school, or little ones at home. In my case I have both, and I tell you my morning routine is proving to be very important here for a smoother morning!

Hi I'm Kandis and welcome to Classy Classic's By Kandis. As I said I am a mother of 4 kids, a daughter who is 10, and 3 boys ages 8, 2 1/2 and 8 month old! Things can go from 0 to wow in no time! I have learned that we need a strong morning routine here. Do you have a morning routine? Let me know, how does it work for you?

I hope whether you have a routine or not you enjoy this blog on our morning routine and how we try to get the older kid's ready and out the door for school, and mamma gets a couple things done. Let me know in the comments if you liked it, and I will be getting ready to post the afternoon blog here next!

Here we go my morning consists of the hours from 6:00 am to roughly 12:00 pm. This is "my morning" I get up at 5:30 but other the coffee and my planner nothing is happening as far as I hope in the morning. I have a "block system" I have wrote about, go have a read on how I break up my hours. I will also be doing an updated version soon.

Ok so.... 6 am oh my so early, this is because my hubby needs to get up and ready for road bound, as he is still dealing with his accident from March! So 6:00-7:00 is getting him up, having coffee and a quick chit chat, before he leaves usually before 7 am if he is running late then it's by 7 he must be out.

7 am comes fast, if the stars have lined up then all 4 kids are hopefully still asleep. The younger ones tend to get up way to early some days. At roughly 7:15 it's time to get the big kids up for school. If I have not made my bed and gotten dresses yet I will do this as I wait for them to get downstairs.
They are to make their beds, and get dressed before coming down to get ready for breakfast.

Breakfast depending on the day depends on what the choices are. We aim to be eating by about 7:30 as my children feel the need to take forever eating breakfast.
They then get ready for school with their morning list it can help, as they can go threw the list themselves. Hahaha they "should" be able too!
They are supposed to: make bed, get dressed, breakfast, vitamins, brush teeth, wash up, brush hair, pack backpack, and out the door! Yap that's what they need over an hour to do!

After the kids are off to school, I get the little ones settled and content.
Then it's kitchen clean up, nothing to big, unless its kitchen zone. Then I would have more there! Just a tidy to get ready for the next round. Then the baby is ready for a nap, usually he will take a nap in the morning. He will usually nap till about 10:30-11:00 depending!

Masyn my toddler will watch some tv, and have play time. This is also when I get my zone cleaning or specific tasks done, that can be with him awake. We will look over me zone cleaning soon. This is breaking the house into "zones" to help with outlines.

We then will try to get outside if weather is good.

Then just like it's time to start lunch!

There you have it!
 My morning in a nut shell, this is how my first 6 hours go!

There will be more on my tasks when the block system is updated and out, or go on over and have a read on it while you wait for an updated one.
