Mom of 5 Homeschool Afternoon Routine

What my afternoon looks like after homeschooling my 5 kids! (Well technically 3 kids since two are babies 🙈)

Just a little reminder that I do not get dressed like this everyday. My toddler was taking a longer nap than normal so I took advantage of that time and got ready! It’s amazing how simple a dress is yet can make you feel like a million bucks!

My make up routine took me 5 minutes and made me question why I don’t do it more.

I am starting to wonder if the social media girlies are onto something by getting ready each day. 🤔 I was extremely tired this day. Homeschool was hard to get through and I almost started crying just out of sheer tiredness. But since we had somewhere to be that afternoon I got ready. My mood instantly changed once I threw on a comfortable dress and did a very quick make up routine.

I use to think if I didn’t get ready first thing in the morning, then what’s the point? But now I am starting to realize that getting ready at any point in the day can be an instant mood booster!

Getting ready in the mornings are not an option for me. I choose sleep over getting ready. I can function in my pajamas, I cannot function with only 2 hrs sleep 🤪 But who’s to say I can’t take a few minutes during nap to put myself together a bit? Especially if it makes me feel good! Shoot I am wondering if I should do it at 5pm if time allows!

I saw a video where someone said something along the lines of, “Think of your day as in quarters. Like quarters of a football game. Just because you ate a bad breakfast doesn’t mean you can turn it around. Just because you didn’t work out in the morning doesn’t mean your day is trashed. You still got another quarter left of the day and can win the game!” While that is motivating it does make me wonder if it would motivate me to procrastinate even more 🙈😆 nahh! I like it and it’s a mentality that will help me stay encouraged when I feel like I am not having a good day ❤️

What do you think about getting ready at any point in the day?

So grateful for your honest content, it makes a first time mom to a 5 week old like myself feel okay in the world! Appreciate you fellow momma! ❤

Love how honest and realistic you are! Also, glad I’m not the only one finally getting ready for the day at 1 pm 😅😂

I’ve been watching you since I became pregnant, my baby is now 4 months old. We’re doing great. I just want to say THANK YOU. Thank you for everything ❤️ never stop being the real you, momma

[staceyburnett]

No one ever told me they will ALWAYS get more sleep than you but when I had my daughter I had to make peace with that and accept that is my new reality. I’m glad I have you to look up to it makes motherhood more normal somehow ❤

Right!!! 💯 Sometimes the first break of the day is after lunch and that is when u get to change, it is homeschool mom life and there is no shame❤

I love how real you are. I have two littles now but if I had your channel around at the beginning of my journey, I feel I would have saved a lot of tears . comparing one's self to other moms in this time and age is easy to get stuck in. it's helpful to see mom's post real content and be authentic about it.


thank you thank you.

bless you.

you help me have more patience and compassion for myself and that helps with everyone around me too.

all the love to you and blessings 🙏🏽💖🌻

Thanks for this, not only does your day look JUST like mine, homeschool, don't get dressed till 1pm, kitchen cleanup after school (minus the napping babies rn, due with #3 in 2.5 weeks!) But you also reminded me I haven't washed my kids baseball uniforms either. 😆

[steffa]

Loved the “I don’t think I washed their uniforms!” Yes I’ve done the same with their soccer uniforms! 😂😂
Wonderful job you are doing! The Lord bless you staying home and teaching your children and raising your kids. From a fellow homeschool mama!

[marinamendoza]

So awesome that you have a timed routine. I watched twins who had no routine one summer and got them on one for their mom and it helps especially with other children. Your doing a great job. ❤

[Justintimecoco]

I well be one hundred percent honest when I got my first niece I was like I never want to get now watching her with five different kids I think she is so brave and I would love to be a mom like her (I love the laugh) 😊

[patticarter]

You are a hero. I always wanted a big family and love watching you with yours. ❤️

[bluefan]

Thanks for the refreshing Incredible music!!

[madigrenko]

I love your honest videos :) Also... more about homeschool! I'd love to see what and how you do it.

[TheRaven]

It's so cool to see you homeschooling your kids! I was raised as a homeschooler and am now going for my doctorate in psychology. I'm autistic and dyslexic, so being able to easily adjust to what fit me best with homeschooling really helped me😁 you're family is so beautiful, and I hope you all have wonderful days together😊

[roseschulze]

Whew! ❤ Never a dull moment, I bet! You have a beautiful family and lovely home. :))

[Sailorfan]

Ah this short was a tsunami of nostalgia especially with the music you chose! I'm one of six kids and it's just all so familiar feeling even though i was just a little kid when our house was like that too. Thank you for sharing! I hope i can have a big family too someday.

[nickyberry]

I love how cute and cheerful ur baby is

[kelsikellogg]

Makes me feel so much better! I shower and get ready when the toddler naps (around 12:30). It feels late, but it is sooo nice having a little mommy break to shower in silence while the older two eat lunch and work on independent work! It fuels me for the rest of the day.

[Royalprincess]

Your amazing! This is literally me, I get the school kids off to school and then get ready after I do all of the other stuff lol mom life is real! Thank you for being inspiring and realistic. ❤

[ritaberil]

Wow looks super hard. I would rather work my extra 12 hour shifts than do tjis. You are gifted and I have so much respect for women like you. God bless you and your sweer family
