I am not a morning person. I wish I was one of those people that pops out of bed, works out for a bit and then goes on about their day. I am not one to hit the snooze button over and over again, but I just don’t like to get up early. Mornings are also just so hectic. Once I’m up, I have to try and get my son out of bed even though he’s just SO tired. Sometimes he begs for me to lay with him and cuddle. If I have time, I’ll lay down and we will talk about what we’ll do that day. Other times I’m running behind and just tell him he needs to get up and eat. After I get my son up, I make him breakfast and then head in to get the girls. Then it’s diaper changing time times two and feeding them their bottles before I have to bring Hayden to school.
On the days that my husband is off work and it’s my turn to sleep in, I usually tell him if he will just do that morning routine and then I’ll get up with them. It’s the making of the bottles, changing diapers, making breakfast and getting everyone out the door that can be exhausting day after day.
Then, I was sick a few days. My husband was awesome and took over completely for me. And during those short few days, I realized that mornings might just be my favorite part of the day. Sure, it’s hectic but there’s nothing in the world like walking into my girls room and seeing these faces as they realize Mama is walking through the door.
How can I resist those two adorable faces each morning? How can I resist my son wanting some cuddle time? So I’ve decided to embrace mornings. While I appreciate those other moments during the day, there’s nothing like starting my day off with my 3 favorite little people.

Your girls are just the cutest, and that smile, I die. I’m the same way, I suck at mornings, but my girls tend to come and wake me up in the morning and I love them for it.
My boys are definitely at their best in the morning. They are a little bit older now (6&9), but when they wake up refreshed, they are much more pleasant and playful. I love them all the time, but we have more fun in the mornings before school!
I never liked getting up in the morning until I started forcing myself to do so. Now, those moments before everyone wakes up – are precious and prepare me for all of the fun that is to come. It’s hard when you have babies – their schedules can change. I’ll pray for you and yes – embrace these little snuggle moments…they are precious and short-lived.
I am also not a morning person but walking into my daughters room to have her standing in the crib smiling always started my day the best way.
Those faces! How adorable. I know what you mean about the whole morning routine getting exhausting after a while. I feel the same exact way. I wish I could just sleep in but then I can’t because I feel like I should be doing something else. As crazy as our mornings are, I don’t think I could live any other way!
They are so elated to see you! When I’ve stepped away for a minute, my son does the same thing. Melts your little heart!
They are just adorable! Would you believe that my favorite time of day when my daughter was that age was our 2 AM nursing? You think 2 AM and you groan but it was quiet, we rocked, we bonded….I miss that time of day sometimes!
Awww so cute! Sawyer gives me such a happy face when i walk in too! It definitely makes everything a little better.
I dread mornings. I am not a morning person and I Do hit snooze. Then I sleep through the alarm, both alarms that is! Thankfully my kids are 11, 7 and 5. They all know Mama is not a morning person and they are really good at waking me up happily if I am sleeping still when they wake up.
there’s just something about kids just waking up with ‘pajama smell” as i call it. i love it. i get so pouty if they won’t come snuggle in my bed with me
I am not a morning person at all either! I’ve always been a night owl, but it’s harder to do that now with two kids. They want to be up early so I have had to adjust my sleeping habits and learn to function much earlier than I used to.
Great post! Sometimes we don’t appreciate the little things until we don’t have them for a few days. I completely agree. Mornings can be exhausting, but when my husband does them for me, I miss them.
What a little sweetie!!! I am only now a morning person because I’m a mom, but I come alive at night.
i’d be happy to see those faces in the more too. you are blessed
Looks like you have two little ladies who are ready to make sure you are up lol!! They are so adorable!
Oh, those faces! You can’t help but smile at them!
I miss being at home for this very reason. I love the snuggle time.
Adorable pics of your girls. I’m so not a morning person, but have to make an effort to get my daughter out the door in the am.
I dread mornings. I mean, I actually don’t mind waking up, it’s the pile of responsibilities that hit the second your awake that I struggle with.
Your babies are adorable. I am not a morning person either – hate them. My kids used to stay up all night, so I would sleep through most of them. My kids would end up in our bed by morning. I loved cuddling with them. Thanks for the post. 🙂
I think mornings are sometimes my favorite part of the day. I normally wake up before everyone else (with no alarm clock). I then try to get a little work done before the rest of the house wakes up and it becomes chaotic. I then get them ready for school, play mom taxi and come back home for a few hours to get work done before its time to pickup my son and get on with the rest of the day.
I am not a morning person either. With work I always feel so rushed. I need to make time to just sit and give lots of hugs.
What a sweet face! I am in no way a morning person.
My favorite time of day is late night, right between midnight and 3am, it’s when I do my best work. I hate hate hate early mornings and just can’t do them lol.
Your girls are too adorable! Yeah, waking up each morning to my daughter has to be my favorite part of the day, even though I’m usually still half asleep. Lol.
Aww! They are the cutest. I would miss those adorable faces too. My mornings are hectic too but it’s something about that rush that gets me going. When it’s not there, I’m bored and ready to get back to it
I must agree with you seeing my son’s cute little face and hearing his sweet voice make my mornings. I also love when I pick him up from school in afternoon. He is always full of excitement, hugs and stories for days.
Your kids are so darn cute. My kids were always pretty happy in the mornings. My youngest is now a sleep hog , and if you wake her up before she is ready then she is a nightmare.
My youngest grandson gives me the biggest smile when he sees me in the mornings. Definitely makes waking up early worth it!
Your girls are adorable. They should be modeling!
After my kids were born and I was still on maternity leave, that was my favorite time of day too. I will stop whatever I am doing for cuddle time with my littles.
