    Heeey everyone! This weekend was a little different than most, but I hope you still enjoyed seeing a few parts of it! I don't typically do "sit down and chat" vlogs but it seemed worth it to share my experience waking up early the past few weeks. I also wanted to mention that I started this because Bria was sleeping through the night, but now she's not anymore haha. I'm still waking up early though because it's helping me in SO many areas! Hope you have an amazing week! :) -Cara

    Every time I don’t wake up before my kids I ALWAYS regret it! It’s a little bit difficult for me right now with my 2 month old BUT I still feel really good and productive when I decide to not crawl back into bed at 5 or 6 in the morning. Even if I just get to have a head start on prepping me and my toddler’s breakfast, or emptying the dishwasher and putting away all clean dishes, picking up toys, sweeping, etc. I always feel more productive throughout the whole day!

    I get up at 5am during the week also, I have to be at work at 8:30 (it’s a 5 min drive) and I agree that getting up super early is so helpful. I can do laundry, unload the dishwasher, catch up on emails etc before work every day. It also helps me to sleep good at night. I know I say this every time but the girls are so darn adorable! Bria is really showing her personality on camera, I remember when Quinn first starting doing the same thing.

    We could all benefit by getting up early and getting outside and napping in the afternoon! Sounds good. I still have the habit of going to bed around 1 a.m. But, I've started waking up earlier. I don't have young children, but I have a cat that gets depressed if he can't go outside (now that it's colder and snowing or raining). I tend to my birds outside and take him for a quick outing too. I noticed he's happier with that bit of fresh air, and I enjoy it too! With the drastic Fall weather change, alot of us are dealing with coldish/sinus issues. Fall took us all by surprise this year!

    Yes, would love to see a morning routine! I really need to start waking up early too, but sometimes with our work schedule we don’t get off till like 10pm so it makes it hard to wake up early the next morning 😵‍💫😴 also any tips for helping baby drink from a straw? Bria looks like a pro at it! I can tell our baby boy wants to but when he puts the straw in his mouth he just doesn’t know what to do

    • @CaraJane
      @CaraJane  Рік тому

      I will definitely film one! And I would say waking up early is only worth it if it helps you… And if you’re going to bed that late then it might not be much help the next morning haha! But maybe it would be more help on the days that you can get to bed earlier? She learned with a straw by just pulling it out of the water cup with my finger over the top so the straw would stay full and putting it in her mouth and letting the water out. Eventually she just started sucking the water out and then I would let her just suck it straight out of the cup. It took a while to get it down but overall that method worked! 😁

    Hi Cara! Wow I'm so inspired to wake up early now! I feel like you were describing my drowning life 😅 and it will give me time in the morning to have devotional time.
    I love the color of your hoodie! Your management company has good taste 😊
    Yeah our fall in the midwest seems to be shorter this year.. we got snow the other day here in Wisconsin 😳 harder to go outside with kiddos when it's colder.
    Oh I hate using dry shampoo too. I only use it if I know I'm going to wash my hair the next day. I only wash my hair once a week (probably sounds gross but I have wavy/curly hair that's dark so you can't really tell 😅) so I can refrain from using dry shampoo most of the time.
    Glad to hear that you all are feeling better!😊 There's definitely something going around- by me, at least.
    Can't wait for another video! Have a great day! 💛

    I've been wanting to wake up early like you suggest, but our 10 month old is still not sleeping through the night. I say that I will start waking up at 5:00 once she does sleep through the night. But I'm too tired to do it until that point. I know it will be so helpful with two kids pretty similar to yours.

I would love to wake up early and get things done but my 8 month old is still waking up a lot in the night and refuses to nap during the day. Hoping to start doing this if she ever does!
