My Soft SAHM Morning Routine
I do not want to wake up and be a mom… there, I said it.
So lately, I’ve been waking up at 3:30 a.m. ! I know, it sounds insane but honestly? It’s become my favorite part of the whole day. I get up 30 minutes before my husband two and a half hours before the kids, and that tiny head start changes everything.
The house is dark and quiet, the kind of quiet that feels like a hug. Before I can think, I Immedietly turn on my bathroom diffuser, pop in my headphones & start my carefully curated morning playlist to set the tone of the day. Once my life feels like a movie, I start my bougie girl skincare routine. I swear skincare hits different when no one is yelling “Mamaaa” from the hallway.
Next I go into Dog Mom Mode, taking Little Miss Fluffy out for a 4am hot girl walk. The air outside at this time feels like a reset… soft, steady, and clean. It’s a whole vibe.
By the time I’m back inside it’s 4:30, I’m not gna lie, I spend about an HOUR doing my hair and makeup, but during I do a language lesson on Pimslur. I feel amazing and productive already.
At 5:30 I head to my Kitchen and thank God that I cleaned it last night during my night time routine. I start my Nesspresso & take my vitamins. I always choose a different mug or iced coffee cup, & once that is in my hands, my spirit is finally ready for whatever motherhood brings my way. It’s simple, pero it feels like luxury & motherhood rarely gives you luxury.
Lastly, My morning routine wounldnt be complete without a little shadow work. Raising babies, running businesses and managing a home and the relationships inside and out of it can easily be triggering so i try to stay a head of my own humanity making sure that Im always talking care of me, mentally , spiritually and emotionally. Somehow the time flies — like that whole pocket of morning collapses into this soft bubble where I’m allowed to exist as a woman first, mamá second.
And here’s the part that surprised me: waking up early actually makes me less tired than being woken up by hungry children climbing on my face. That abrupt start used to leave me irritated, groggy, and already behind for the day. But this… this feels gentle. I get to enter motherhood slowly, not be thrown into it.
I’m learning that soft routines aren’t about aesthetics — they’re about energy. The tiny tools I reach for in the morning aren’t magic, but they do support me. My cleanser wakes my skin. My diffuser sets the tone. My supplements keep me steady. My mug warms my hands. My little rituals whisper, “you’re allowed to start softly.”
If you’re a mamá who feels like life is happening at you the moment you open your eyes, try giving yourself even ten minutes — un poquito nada más. A quiet light, a warm drink, a breath, a moment that belongs to you.
No perfection, just softness.
It changes the whole rhythm of your day.
