Nothing fancy, straight to the point! 🙂
Here´s what my current daily schedule typically looks like:
*Curtains fold*

´Mommy will be up in exactly 5 mins. Run along and go brush your teeth till I jump out of the bed.´
5.35 am – Good morning cuddles and kisses time! Also, the time to expertly manage the morning rush. Switches on geyser.
5.40 am – Morning Chai time while skimming through the school activities of the day.
Homework – Check
Dictation – Check. Needs another round of preparation
Project – Check

12.00 pm – Lunch
12.30 pm – Work-Work -Work-Work-Work (Yes! At times, literally soaking in Rihanna´s tune playing in the background as an energizer alongside some pipin´hot coffee)

Hi Rajlakshmi! So great to see you back on my blog. I have to work on getting more sleep in my routine. You have a very fit lifestyle, I see. I see that you are a Yogi who writes really beautifully. My daughter is an early riser and my husband and I are late sleepers. Work-in-progress! 🙂

Hi Akshata! Yes, I see that too. There is a routine in place but I do have my cheat days considering I work from home and it can get tricky on some days. My daughter wakes up even before sunrise ..so I need to get things moving early on in the day. Weekends, I wake up really late..lol. 🙂

Waking up at 5. 30 and sleeping at 11 means less sleep right? I wake up at 6 🙂 your article reflects most of the moms routine including mine except that iam on career break now.

Hi Ramya! What big eyes you have…lol! Yes, you noticed it right..My hubby and I are late sleepers and my daughter is a very early riser. So, yes I have to work on scheduling more sleep into my timetable. Exactly, this is most Mom´s timetable …I currently work from home which suits me perfectly 🙂

You are a very hard working woman Tina. Kudos❤️ Reminded me of Vinay’s story. He’s written a narration called Mother’s Day.
