When Quinn woke up so proud of herself, was absolutely adorable! Her little voice was so cute🥰
Yes, I watched that clip so many times while editing :')
As my toddler got older, I struggled to get my bible time in. I'm usually a night owl but decided to try waking up earlier. Even though it was only an hour earlier, it was still so helpful! I start my morning with my bible and quiet time. By the time my kids get up, I'm more awake and patient. It has also given me more energy which I didn't expect. I definitely recommend waking up early as well.
I know I’ve sad it before, but truly Cara your videos encourage me so much as a first time mama. Your joy in doing the seemingly ordinary tasks around the house have helped me know I’m not alone. I wouldn’t trade my daughter for the world, and I have the SWEETEST most helpful husband ever, but there are days that since having a baby I have felt like just a maid or a short order cook😂. But it’s holy work raising a family and it’s nice to know there are mamas like you all around the world doing the same thing every day. 💕
Also, Quinn holding her bucket while getting her teeth brushed tehe🙊💗
You are definitely not alone! I think so many of us can relate to the feelings you described! It doesn’t make us ungrateful but can feel monotonous sometimes! Thank you for the nice comment :)
And yes, she wouldn’t let it go haha!
I wake up at 5:30am about an hour before Elle, and I can’t agree more! I love getting in a short workout, a shower, and having myself ready before she wakes up. It’s nice to have nothing else to focus on during that time.😌
Yesss it's the best to have that time to ourselves since it's so scarce during the day!! :)
I have a 1 year old daughter and I stay at home with her. I’ve been waking up at 6:30 and she typically wakes up around 7:30 and I know exactly how you feel in that it’s so freeing! I can get showered, get ready, read my devotional, unload the dishwasher, “wake up the house”, plan out breakfast, and get a load of laundry started. I’m inspired to get up earlier now! Especially as the mornings get lighter and lighter and the weather gets warmer? 🤞🏻😬 (from the Midwest also). Your girls are the sweetest and I love these videos!
So glad waking up earlier helps you out, too! Wish I had started doing it sooner like you do :) Thanks, Jocelyn!
I have 2 boys similar to your girls’ age (2 and 8 months)! I recently started waking up at 6am, which is still before them. They are up around 6:30 or 7, so I have around 30 minutes to myself - it’s been so nice! I think the goal should just be to be up before them… not necessarily at 5am if they aren’t up super early! But I definitely agree it’s life changing. Most days I just have enough time to put my hair up, brush my teeth, and sip on some coffee. But those quiet moments before the chaos really are priceless! Love this and so inspired by you!❤️
yes, I agree! Doesn't have to be 5, but just waking up before them at all helps so much! Glad it works for you, too! Thanks, Alexa! You're so nice!
Hi! I'm so happy that I found you cause I have a 2 years old girl and a 6 weeks baby girl 🙂
Cara, you’re such an inspiration to so many. I certainly wish I would’ve had someone like you to look to for encouragement and inspiration, as a young new mom at 20 (33 yrs ago). I’m inspired by you as a gramma now, that takes care of my grandkids several days a week! You should be so proud of yourself! ❤️
I could watch your entire day and never get tired of it! So real and relatable.❤️ Thank you for sharing!
Aww you’re so nice! Thanks, Taylor! :)
Thank you for this video. I’m waking up at 5 and have been for about a month and I also love it! I realized after much failure that it’s important for mommy time and without guilt, I have enjoyed every second 😊
love love love all of your videos !! thanks for sharing your early morning routine! 🫶🤍
Thank you, Amy!! So glad you like them 🥰
I can't believe Bria is going to be 1 years old. My how time flys. I can see that when you get up early you feel so relieved with all that you can accomplish. And also you have some me time. Awesome job Cara.😘👍🌷So proud of little Miss Quinn.
I can't believe it, either! Thank you, Cindy! Always appreciate your comments🥰
I appreciate your videos. I love seeing the educational books and tools you use for your girls. It's helpful to see what others are using to teach reaching skills at an early age. Thank you for your posts--they are helpful, wholesome, and encouraging!
So glad they are helpful to you! I love sharing anything that could be helpful to other moms in this phase of life! :)
I LOVE this video! I put it on as I was making my coffee, and the beginning was so relaxing to watch with how quiet it was. The perfect start to my day before my two kiddos get up!
Aww so glad you liked it!! Sounds like the perfect scenario! ;)
I was amazed at just how much you were able to get accomplished before the girls woke up! I sometimes beg my husband to let me have an hour to shower and get ready without my 5 yr old talking my head off, lol. The interaction between the girls at breakfast was so precious. I can tell they will be so close as they grow up together. ❤️

I was amazed the 1st few times I did it, too! Haha that sounds like me on the weekends if I don’t get up early! 😁 and yesss… I’m excited for them to be close!
This is such a cute video! I recently started waking up earlier to get some journal and Bible time and get ready for the day before kiddos are awake. Agreed it makes such a difference to set yourself up for the day! 💕
So glad it makes a difference for you, too! ;)
You have raised a very amazing little girl (Quinn) she is so polite and joyful I’m sure Bria will be exactly the same. I strive to be like you on days I’m feeling frustrated and down!! Raising kind kids is the goal!!
Thank you, Abby! I'm sure you're doing an amazing job 😊
Everything you said definitely makes sense. I know when I’ve been better about waking up before my kids come in each morning, I do feel more prepared to conquer the day, especially if we have a busy day. I was doing good with it for awhile and want to get back to at least waking up 30 minutes before them and having time to quietly read my devotions and pray before they come in.
Quinn sharing her cookie with you melted my heart. She’s so sweet. Bria is adorable and I love her chatter in the background. ❤
Also, you are seriously rocking it with all of the preschool (and kindergarten) learning you’re doing with Quinn!
Thanks you, Lori! Yes that is so accurate! Exactly how I feel about it all too :)
And yes, I loved that moment! And she’s loving doing the preschool things and I’m thriving haha!
You are an amazing mom! The patient you have is amazing
Thank you, Dora! I don’t always feel patient haha :)
This was such a good video Cara! Inspiring. I want to start waking up early too. I have a 2.5 year old who sleeps through the night, mostly. And a 5 month old who almost sleeps through! He was going well for about a week and then we had to unswaddle his arms so he’s learning how to sleep all over again. But once he gets more consistent, I’m going to give waking earlier a shot! I haven’t sleep well for 5 months so I may need to take a little time to just sleep first lol
Cara, you are such a great mother & you are doing an amazing job with Quinn. Of course, you are with both of the girls. Believe me, I am comparing a few other moms with young children that are in my family. I wish that I can say more but don't want to make a public comment in the 000.0005% chance they come across it someday. The time that you take with Quinn is paying off and it really shows. She is so smart!!! And oh my goodness when she stayed in bed, you could tell she stayed there on purpose so she would be a good girl. Such a proud moment.
Sounds like a great plan! Me time is great. Taking care of you first, makes a great Mom.
Thanks so much, Debbie!! ;)
The beginning part of the video is so relaxing and therapeutic to watch😂 Love your videos!
It's the most peaceful part for sure! ;)
I’m a mom of 3 boys, I wake up at 4 am everyday. Work out, make breakfast, take shower, get ready and depending on the day even get laundry done. I work the hours that they go to school. Waking up early is definitely a game changer. It’s my secret to always being in time.
This is my exact schedule! I have to get my workout in before they leave for school or it won't happen.
Wow! Sounds like you've got it down! I still need to get the "being on time" part down haha ;)
Change the rules, instead, say it's quite time, she has to stay in her room. She can sleep, if needed, and/or play quietly. Set a time schedule. They fight a lot less if it's their idea to sleep. Peace reigns Supreme. :-) .kids love schedules. Thanks for your hard work, it shows. You have a lovely channel.
Thank you, Laura! Great idea!
Love your video and the zen vibe. I know it only lasts until babies wake up but we mommas need every calm moment we can get! Random question- may I ask where you got your humidifier? I have a few but they’re all very weak, hardly blows out any moisture, and yours looks like very strong!
Hi Cara! I really enjoy watching your videos. God bless your sweet family :) I am also thinking of waking up extra early before my baby wakes up as I need more time for myself. You encouraged me.. can you also make a video of food ideas to bria? How does she eat now and any food recipes tips??
Quinn is the most precious little girl! Besides my own of course 😅 but oh my gosh my heart just melted when she was doing those pre school cards!!
Cara 🥹I’m serious! Quinn made me cry as I saw her how excited she was because she didn’t get out of bed!!! She’s soooo sweeeettttt! I had my son same age as Quinn be in his toddler bed for a week, as now he regreses and he’s with us in his bed but in our room!!!
Aww haha!! She really is the sweetest! And that's okay... I'm sure he'll get the hang of it when the time is right!! She did that a few nights with us, too! :)
Enjoyed your video. Nothing quite like early mornings!
I love watching your girls grow.
Hey Cara! My baby just turned 1 so we had our babies around the same time. 😊 he sleeps through the night and wakes up around 7-730am everyday. I know I need to start getting up before him so I can get stuff done and get myself ready for the day and you have given me some motivation to do that. Love love love your videos your babies are so adorable and you’re such a great mama! ❤
I hope you try it out and it works great for you! Even just getting a few small things done alone is so worth it :)
Love how it jus started soooo peaceful u should definitely show this part as well it was very soothing to watch ❤
Glad you liked that part! Thanks, Kay!
It's really changing my life.! My girls are 15 months apart , so I completely understand wanting so alone time.
Oh wow! Yes, I’m sure you understand completely!! 👌🏼 it helps so much!
I recently started waking up at 5am too and it has changed my life. Thanks for sharing.
So glad it’s working well for you, too!!
What is crazy, is Quinn knows more sounds than some of my kindergarteners!!
Great job Cara, starting phonics when they are young will really help her in the long run 🤍🤍🤍
I’m curious to know… lol How does your morning routine interfere or overlap with Eric’s?
Being a preschool aide and seeing Quinn with her letters and sounds still amazes me. You’re doing a fantastic job!!!
❤ love it!
Yaaay! :)
Hi Cara what essential oils did you use and where do you buy it
Hi Cara where do you edit your videos? It is very nice + the song choice it’s so nice
Cara, I literally got out of bed at 11am today!!!! 😂😂😂😂 But it’s because I try to spend the least amount of time conscious during this morning sickness period 😅
Omg Cayleyyy!😂 I'm so sorry! I need to come help you out in the mornings or something!
You can take this early morning time to spend it one on one reading books with the baby before Quin wakes.
I think you're forgetting about the Moms who do get up at 5am and get the kids going because she has to make breakfast for the kids, get them ready and get herself ready, and then get everyone off.
Its great you can get up at 5am and you have all day to spend at home.
Someday that might be my reality but not with a 1 and 2 year old. I’m not forgetting, just speaking to mom’s in my same stage of life :)
Awwwwwwwwwww you kids is so cute and adorable
You have given me motivation for an early wake up, it’s the snooze button that gets me lol
Haha you can do it! Buy yourself something good to eat to look forward to in the mornings or some thing! :)
Cara may i ask what do you call that shelves on quinn's bedroom. Like for her books, we will start to prepare my daughter's room thank you
Hey Cara, loved this video! Also, I loved the first instrumental track (music from around 00:16 until around 03:16 ) but can't find the name of the song name/artist etc. Can you help me with where can I find this song? Thanks so much :)!
I wish I could get up earlier! A couple weeks ago I tried to wake up at 5am for a week, but I felt so bad doing it. Not sure if doing it cold turkey was the best idea. Did you ease into it or push through?😴
Me a night owl who gets out of bed at the last possible second watching this like mhmm right 😂
But I love that you do this!
Hahaha it's not for everyone and that's totally fine! Sometimes I think I'm a night owl AND early bird... that's a problem lol. ;)
Oh! I see you and Bria reading the Lift-the-Flap Goodnight Farm Animals book - That is Mabel's FAVORITE book right now. She turned 1 on December 26 :)
Such a cute book! Aww it must be a good one for this age... Bria loves it, too! ;)
❤️❤️❤️
😊😊😊
You got a lot done waking up that early!!!
Yes for sure! :)
What time does Eric get up in the mornings? Was he already at work and that's why you can get the bed made etc so early?
Hey Cara,
Such a sweet video! Bria "reading" books is the sweetest thing ever. I hope she had a great first birthday! Did you guys have a birthday party?
I got teary-eyed when Quinn stayed in her bed all night. I'm so proud of her! Leo has been in a toddler bed for a few months now, but somehow, he ends up in our bed every night. He just wants to snuggle, and it's hard for me to just put him back in his bed. Plus, then I have a very hard time falling back to sleep. We will work through it, though. He is getting a Yoto Player for his birthday from his grandparents, and that has the light thing, so we are hoping it will help encourage Leo to stay in bed until it's time to get up.
Leo also has been consistently going number two on the potty, and I couldn't be more proud! Still working on number one, but I know he'll get there!
I can't believe how smart Quinn is and knows all her letters and sounds, definitely a working progress with Leo! It's so interesting how different children develop.
Thank you for sharing your 5AM morning routine. Getting up early is beneficial for me and my life, too!
Hope all is good and well!
All the best,
-Clarissa 😊❤️🥰
Heyyy! I love when she "reads" so much! She did have a good birthday! Hopefully that vlog will be up next! Aww I'm sure he'll get the hang of staying in his own... there were a few nights that Quinn ended up in our bed, too but I put an end to it. It was fun and cuddly but I knew it couldn't be a regular thing for us and had to nip it in the bud haha. I'll probably share more on that eventually. Oh funnn! I always get ads for the yoto players and they seem like a perfect gift! Thanks, Clarissa. Hope you're all doing well, too! :)
@CaraJane Yeah, we should have nipped it but we never did...let's hope that Yoto Player light thing helps haha!
And thank you! Have a good weekend!
what vitamins did you give the girls? I need that for my baby lol
I wake up at 7:10 to get my daughter ready and I have a lot of time to do everything but I used get up at 11😅 before having a baby
My daughter at age 2 did the same thing with referring to the yolks as cheese and then eating them. I never corrected it, I was just happy she ate the whole egg lol 😆
Haha so cute! I feel the same way as long as she's eating it lol!
The girls are so cute🥰
My girls are the same age as yours and I’d love to get to a point where I can get up before them but they have been taking turns waking up at night and refusing to go back to sleep. Exhausted
Aww I definitely recommend getting all the sleep that you need! I’m sure you’ll be able to wake up before them eventually!🥰
what is the name of the book you are reading? It looks really intresting.
It’s this one! I love it :)

Have you thought about black out curtains for the girl's rooms? 🤔
Hi Cara, love your channel. Could you please tell me where you purchased your diffuser and if that's a dupe? Thank you so much.
Hello! This is the link to my diffuser! It is a dupe :)

Do you wake up early on the weekends too? Or is this just Monday - Friday?
Sorry just watched the rest of the video and you already answered!
I’m trying so hard to wake up at 7 my 2 1/2 year old sleeps till 8ish but I’m also 17 weeks pregnant so I’m like well I’ll get my body used to waking up early and then bam I’ll have a newborn again 😂
When does your husband get up?
A little before me :)
What book is it you are reading in the beginning? 🤓🩷
