Wake Up!

Good Morning loves!


Super Mama has had a fantabulous start to her day today 😁


To continue from my blog yesterday, I will talk about my family's morning routine today. 


My toddler, Ali, wakes up with my husband, and I get a call from the upstairs bedroom, while the baby, Lizzie, is still sleeping. I take my toddler to the bathroom and we finish our ablutions followed by "this is the way we brush our teeth, wash our face, this morning" routine song. 


Ali and I walk downt o the kitchen on out tippy-toes, because it is just plain fun to balance down the stairs on your tippy toes! Try it, and you will see it is fun when you also turn it into a race of "let's see who loses balance first", and super mama here always loses to Ali doll. 


Since breakfast has already been prepared by Super Mama, we head straight to the dining table. I bring over her breakfast and a glass of milk. Today we had oatmeal with raisins, cashews, dried dates and almonds. As per Ali, she had spoonfuls of the good stuff! Oh and our Tou-tou the Toucan is always with us, whether it is the snowy mountains or the beach...Hahaha. I love this toucan, probably a little more than Ali doll herself. 💕

 




It is a challenge to feed Ali. So, we are drawing and eating, or reading and eating. Today, we chose to read Jack and Bean Stalk. The routine is that I read one page, and she eats 2 spoonfuls of the food served. It takes about 20-30 minutes to go through the full breakfast cycle.


Pretty much everyday, as soon as I finish the breakfast routine with Ali, I hear baby Lizzie wake up. So Ali and I head upstairs to the bedroom, and we all sing a song together that I wrote, "Open your eyes, the sun is on rise, it's a very good morning. Brush your teeth, wash your face, comb your hair, and sieze the day. Carpe Diem!". While all of this is going on, my hubby is still in the bathroom - not sure what he is doing in there - but to each their own. 💁


Anyhoo, I change the baby's diaper, clean her gums and we head down to have breakfast. Lizzie is a fast eater, and when she sees food, she's just like GO! She is done with her breakfast in less than 10 minutes. To give you an idea, Lizzie ate 10 teaspoons of oatmeal with 7 ounces of formula, while Ali ate 10 tablespoons of oatmeal with 4 ounces of cow's milk. 


Next, we go upstairs to getting Ali dressed for daycare. During this time, Lizzie is playing with her teething toys and hubby is having his breakfast. Shortly after, hubby and Ali leave for the daycare while Lizzie continues playing with her toys, and I sign-on into work. I have a meeting with the fabrication facotry, everyday, at 8 a.m. 🏭


My meeting gets done by 8:30 a.m., hubby is back from the daycare and is signing-on into work, and the baby is readyto go down for a nap. So far since morning I was a full-time mom, and after 8:00 a.m. I become a full-time scienitst and a full-time mom. 


What did you think of my morning routine? What does your morning look like? Tell me what you would love to do, or what more do you want to add into your morning routines? Share your thoughts! May be I can learn soemthing new, or change things around in my routine! 


Until then, have a good day, and talk to y'all tomorrow 😘

Weekend Trip Planning

Hello my online family! The weather has been amazing in the valley here in Hillsboro, Oregon. It's so gorgeous outside I did not feel like sitting in front of my computer and typing. 😁 We went to a toddler friends birthday party on Saturday morning. We had lots of cake! Then we went to a baby gender reveal party. Our friends are having a BOY! We had lots of cake there, too! After all that intake of calories, we decided to do some skiing and snowshoeing on Mout Hood, which is where we spent our Sunday. Ali tried the skiis for the second time this season. And she loved them and enjoyed it so mcuh! Lizzie tried walking in the snow, and did some rollie pollies! Unlike Ali, Lizzie loved the snow! I remember when Ali was a baby, and we brought her to Mout Hood at the same age as Lizzie, and Ali just spent the entire day crying. She was not a fan of the cold and the snow. Things have changed for the better, since then, in her relationship with the snow and the cold. I guess, after all, l...

Working Mom

 Good morning lovely people! I had a slightly early start this morning because today I chose to add medidation to my workout routine. A 10-minute medidation clip from Calm called Kintsugi by Tamara Levitt surely added value to my workout. I felt a clarity struck my brain which is otherwise a bit clouded with multiple thoughts rushing through almost all at once! Once my morning routine is complete, I take on the role of a full-time scientist and a full-time mom! 💪 As soon as the clock hits 8:00 a.m., I am at my work desk, doing what my works asks of me. Mainly it includes analyzing data 📊 from a lot of DOEs that are run on innovating the structure and function of semiconductor chips used in laptops. A good portion of my jon also includes making sure material goes thorugh the different operations in the fabrication factory without any hiccups. And if something were to go wrong, which they almost always do, because there are so many moving parts to making a laptop chip, I am calle...

Mental Well-Being

Hello all! Coming back after a days break.  I needed to take care of my health: - Get the pap smear test - Get an appointment for a screening mamogram because I have been a breast feeding mother in the past 4 years, back to back.  Speaking of health, we often neglect our mental health. Moms are expected to do it all, and in some cultures are shamed upon if they ask for help. In all cases, you need a support system, whether be it in the house, your social circle, or a complete outsider.  If you have read any of my previous blogs, you know that I take care of a lot of things in my home, and I just don't mean furniture, but more importantly, my kids. If you are new, go on and read my previous blogs to get a sense of how I would need to remain calm and mom on, to keep my life together.  While my physical health gets taken care of in many ways, for my mental health, I rely on the Calm app, and on my therapist. If anybody you know has given birth to a child, you should ack...
