I am a work from home mom with a nine month old and i'm going to show you my entire routine
for how i'm able to manage doing both.
Hey y'all hey it's Ashley Renne and welcome back to my sustainable family lifestyle and
tech channel, basically i'm going to show you how i wake up at 5 a.m every day to start
working and then switch into mom mode when my baby wakes up and then work when he's napping
and then after my husband comes home to take over for the evening and just a few things
before we dive into the video i've been doing this schedule since he was about seven months
old.
That's when he started sleeping through the night so that allows me to actually have the
energy to wake up at five o'clock in the morning so that's number one and the second thing
i want to point out is i'm very efficient with my time including how i get dressed and
how i do my makeup everything is very minimalist and my style is 100% a reflection of my lifestyle.
I define my style as sporty chic, the sporty is usually my mom outfit which is maybe a
cute matching sweatsuit like this and then whenever i want to transition into work mode
i throw a blazer over it and instantly my sporty goes to sporty chic so it's a combination
of sporty and chic so when i'm in work mode i have my blazer on over my sweatsuit and
then when it comes to my makeup same thing it maybe takes me three to five minutes to
put my makeup on in the morning i don't wear foundation i take really good care of my skin
i don't want to cover up my skin so i have a very minimalist makeup routine lips, cheeks,
eyes, that's it.
Okay so now let's dive into my routine starting at 5 a.m.
I get up at 5 a.m and drink 1 liter of water.
Then i do my skincare routine brush my teeth followed by my super quick minimalist makeup
routine.
I only use four products that i keep in this little cloth makeup bag by Merit.
This lipstick and liner duo by Wander Beauty saves time because it's multiple products
in one.
Then for my cheeks again I use a multi-purpose product this is a blush and illuminator in
one also by Wander Beauty.
So i add blush to my cheeks with the blush side and highlight my cheekbone with the illuminator
side.
Then i move on to my eye area, I use Merit a great brand for luxe minimalist makeup.
I use their mascara and then fill in my brows with their volumizer.
For my eyeshadow I use that same Wander Beauty blush and illuminator stick.
I just use the blush part to add a little pop of color to my eyelids.
That's it less than five minutes and I'm done
Then i like to make an early morning snack all vegan of course.
Today it's chia avocado on toasted pretzel buns with sliced apples and then i get to
work and i keep going until Beyond wakes up.
Baby is awake, baby is awake, baby is awake, baby is awake.
Open up the blinds!
Good job, well done!
Alright time to pick out what you're gonna wear for the day.
Okay this is what he wants.
Who's ready for a walk?
After Beyond takes his first nap i can usually get another two hours of work in before he
wakes up.
I monitor him with my Nanit app so as soon as he wakes up i can hear him and go get him.
Oh baby baby baby.
Say hi!
Beyond loves to explore so after his first nap I let him crawl from room to room and
just have fun being a curious baby.
We do this both inside and outside.
Alright time to go downstairs.
Green onions.
You see it's green?
Look who else is sunbathing.
After he's had plenty of time to explore freely we usually hang out in his play area where
we do a number of fun activities.
Then it's lunch time for both of us.
Today he's having pasta, black beans, mixed veggies and a little bit of whatever is on
my plate because when he sees me eating he wants what i have too.
Okay baby boy time for your second nap of the day.
When Beyond takes a second nap this is usually when i schedule my meetings i need to have
so i take a blazer off my clothing rack and do my meetings.
I use whatever extra time i have after my meeting is over to knock out more work tasks
until Beyond wakes up.
I hear you.
Hey baby.
Yayyy, well done Beyond!
We're gonna go see daddy.
Daddy's home daddy's home.
You ready to see daddy?
Look who's here, daddy's here.
Daddy's home!
Hey buddy hey hey buddy.
My boy!
Okay now that papa's home, mama can have a couple hours of uninterrupted work time so
they're gonna do their whole evening routine.
They're gonna go on a walk you know spend time together, he's gonna feed him, bathe
him and then it's my turn again, i'm going to go upstairs and feed him one last time
before he goes to bed.
You better run, you better run, you better run!
Time for a book.
How about Baby Boy What Will You Be?
Here we go!
And that's it after he goes to bed, i eat dinner, shower, relax, pump, or if i still
have more work to do i'll use that time to wrap things up and plan out my to-do list
for the following day.
