oh hey it's future me i'm in my office it's kind of a mess because we're still unpacking
but i wanted just to chat with you guys through this video kind of like voice over style except
i'm talking to you i filmed this kind of like a fly on the wall i want just to share a real
life morning routine this one was a little bit different which i will explain later in the video
but i wake up pretty early so this day actually i slept in a little bit i think i woke up at
seven which i would i never thought i would say seven is sleeping in but i like to get up before
sage wakes up i get to make myself a cup of herbal coffee i get to just open my eyes i get to splash
my face with some water i get to just wake up on my own before i have sage instantly attached to
me and my boobs if you're thinking i'm looking a little tired because i am we had a late night
the night before and honestly i thought sage was going to wake up in a way crankier mood she
surprised both of us this morning i almost didn't film because i thought she was going to be cranky
um but goes to show toddlers are unpredictable and you never know what's gonna happen
if you're wondering what herbal coffee is i will link it down below it's basically a mix
of like dried chicory and barley and essentially tastes like coffee without the caffeine because
i don't need no caffeine in my life i mean i do but it doesn't like me i don't like it we don't go
together using my milk frother a little oat milk a little collagen a little cinnamon it's delish
this is my favorite time of the morning and it's when matt comes in with sage so he does like the
morning thing with her like gets her up changes her diaper and then brings her over to me for her
milky and it's my favorite time because she just lights up like really she just looks
at me like i'm her morning cup of coffee and all she wants is the boobs in her mouth like asap but
i just cherish the special moments because we're just so sweet and she like lights up and
so excited and sometimes like we'll play a little game and we'll just like have a couple of laughs
and it's just like a special time in the morning and it's something i look forward to
every single day i wake up it's really really cute it's funny i think my favorite times of the day
is like first thing in the morning when she wakes up and then putting her down to bed like
those precious moments in the morning and at night are like really cute and i feel like i don't know
i just it's my favorite times of the day if you breastfeed you gotta try the sideline breastfeed
it saves your back it's comfortable and it's the best way to cozy up i feel like not enough people
do it and when i first discovered it which was like the first week of breastfeeding
sage because my doula told me about it i was like what this works and it's the best highly recommend
all right i'm back in the kitchen i'm getting breakfast prepped for the whole family i'm
usually like the chef in the house i like to make myself breakfast sagee breakfast
and then matt will usually usually just eat whatever i eat he's not picky he just
does not like cooking but he'll usually help with the cleanup and he's usually the one i
think i showed myself like unloading three dishes out of the dishwasher he's usually the one that
unloads it first thing in the morning shout out to matt because he's always on top of those dishes
laundry all the things that i don't like oh i got package do you think it's for sage
what's the first time she's done that
wow it almost fits you can almost steal my shoes
now this is a typical breakfast when we're like there's not much in the fridge and or i just
don't know what i want to make uh so we did some toast i was gonna do avocado toast but there's no
like ripe enough avocados for soil problems so i decided to do a peanut butter and hemp toast
so i did some strawberries and nectarines on the side honestly sage is not the biggest fan of fruit
i'm always trying to sneak some new ones onto her plate so today i sliced up some nectarines
um spoiler alert she didn't eat any of them but at least like she gets to be
introduced to them i don't know i ended up eating them for my breakfast it was fine
high five um
where do you want to go
hey enough food
yeah food see mama's gonna put you in your high chair
okay we have some peanut butter toast egg apricot or nectarine and strawberries
there you go can we talk about that sage did not fight me at all about putting her in the high
chair i feel like this morning routine is not an accurate description of our mornings usually
there is some screaming crying big feelings from both of us and a little bit more chaotic
this was a very chill monday morning and i don't know if it's because she was over tired from going
to bed late the night before but there was no screaming so i don't want you guys to think
that this is like a normal morning routine i feel like i'm gonna have to do another one
to show the real real realness of the morning but just know usually it's not this calm but i
was just taking it in i was like i'm i don't know what's going on this is unusual but it was really
nice i don't always eat my meals with sage but i honestly think it's such a great habit to get into
actually sit down and enjoy a meal with your little ones not only does it encourage family meal
time together but you also get a meal sitting down which is sometimes rare as a parent and so it's
really nice when i can just eat together i feel like it encourages her to eat her food sometimes
she wants some of what's on my plate i like when we're eating the same thing because she'll be like
oh what's that and i'll be like you got some on your plate but here you get on mine i guess
who's to try it so good so okay give it to my mommy if you don't want it okay
you're only eating the strawberries what's going on
how about you try the peanut butter toast or the egg on the floor she doesn't always eat
everything that's on her plate but i offer it regardless so she at least has options
do you want your vitamins you go
good job get you some water
there you go
don't step did you drink hey you smelt it
oh you spilt it in there okay
i know
oh you eat with strawberries oh you eat with strawberries can mommy clean up
yeah i haven't even looked into a mirror this is our makeshift baby gate right now
getting baby gates installed in two weeks i think after we're done breakfast this is when i hand
her off to matt and i get myself ready so we're actually heading out for a little family morning
walk which i like to do before we actually start our work day otherwise i find it just it's hard
to squeeze it in especially because sage has her main chunk of the nap right at lunch time i feel
like we gotta get early otherwise we're not gonna be able to do it until like in the evening so
uh while matt was just getting her ready i went upstairs to quickly get changed
freshened up and ready to head out for some nature look who's eating the rest of their breakfast
how'd you get her to eat it ready for a walk
you eating your toast
just to shake this tree
thank you
okay
now usually i only breastfeed her when she wakes up after her
nap and then before bed but if i'm spending more time with her in the morning
versus matt she will definitely ask for milk at some point and sometimes i say no and try to ask
if she wants snack or water but in this case i gave in because i knew she had a late night the
night before and i didn't want to push my luck we went outside for some more honestly this girl
loves nature all day long she just says side side which is sage for outside and i just decided to
take her outside for some more fresh air and honestly i also love our backyard so it's really
nice just to be able to spend some time and enjoy it before the work day officially starts
every day every day it's side side side you little nature girl huh whoa careful oh my god
careful whoa
you just laying in the grass
you being one with nature
honestly by the time i start my work day i feel like i'm already tired from like my mom
morning but that's just the life of being a parent it's like you got you live these two
lives and then somehow you have to find time to take care of you you know it's a never-ending
balance back inside and already it's time for snack time we've been doing the seaweed snacks
they're just like toasted seaweed and sage loves them i just gave it to her over on the weekend
and like i think she went through two packages so she's a bit of a seaweed
addict right now you know we're limiting to one box a day you want you want more
all right that's our morning routine
yeah that's our morning routine that's sage's morning routine i
have to finish getting ready i have to start work but matt just ran to go do some errands
and you want more more okay um so i am with sage this morning and then we will switch
and i will get some work done although i'm filming so this is work but i gotta do like emails
and like the not fun stuff of my job you go it's like your version of chips seaweed chips
okay thanks so much for watching guys i hoped this gave you a real insight into
an average i actually know why i and i will talk about this in the voiceover but this was not an
average morning routine sage was on best behavior even though she went to bed late all weekend long
i don't know how there wasn't more screaming this morning because i'm gonna have to do another one
where it's like the real real deal because this was not it usually there's more tears it's a crazy
time in the morning um but i'm glad i got to share a little bit of our morning time life with you

going to be here handing this girl seaweed snacks here you go sage that's over here
