Showing you all my 5AM morning routine...but make it REALISTIC. I do my best to be productive and wake up to fill my cup first, but as you'll see it's more about my mindset than anything else. You're all doing such a great job, please don't compare your morning to mine!! Just do what works best for you and make tiny/small changes if necessary. Tiny shifts make a big impact. Sending so much love!!

This was such a breath of fresh air to watch. I normally don’t like watching 5am routines because they are jam-packed with unrealistic goals and I feel like I can never live up to them. But something told me your video would be different and I’m glad I listened. I love how you just let yourself be still and let the Lord prevail. And I appreciate how you embrace the imperfection and go with the flow of the day with joy. Things never go as planned being a mom and that’s something I need to accept. Thank you for the inspiration Margaret! As a mom who just had her second baby I feel better equipped to take on the morning with stillness and grace and help my kiddos do the same 💖
Margaret, I love how real this is. Thank you. So. Much.
Thank you for just loving Jesus, speaking Jesus over your children, husband, and followers, and for simply living out Jesus even when it’s not always “glamorous” on film. I love how intentional + purposeful you are to have peace in your own heart, soul, and mind so that you can better serve your loved ones.
Much love,
Hannah
Thank you for these incredibly kind words, Hannah. I haven't always been this way, this is just where the Lord has brought me after years of inward thinking and lots of failure. I'm still learning so much daily through motherhood - just so grateful the Lord for brining me here.
"Gone are the days when I expect perfection" I need to marinate in that phrase. Amen.
We cannot expect perfection - thank you for that reminder today. ❤ 🙏🏻 🕊️
Oh Margaret ❤ I love everything about your channel! You’re a wonderful mama. You inspire me in so many ways. Thank you.💖
My four year old son says prayers like that❤️ makes me cry🥹
Loved the calmness of this video 🙌🏼. I can always depend on your channel for that!
This was such a great video. Your 3 boys are blessed to have such a wonderful mom. Motherhood is the hardest job in the world. And you take it seriously and do a great job. God bless you and your sweet family.
Thank you for these incredibly kind and encouraging words, Mary!
As a mom I love mornings. The peace is so good.
Thank you for showing everything!
This was a lovely reminder. Thanks for that. ❤
Loved this! We have moved every year for a decade but are now planted. I feel like I'm always unpacking. I really want to wake up before my children. I'm such a night owl and love nighttime devotions but I know that the days go so much better for me when I'm not giving sacrificially to my family but I've taken time for myself in the morning to not hustle but just be - be alone with Jesus. Thank you for this and for showing us the real deal! 💖✝💖
I love how you are so real and genuine. You're a real inspiration. ❤
Exactly what everyone needs to see and hear! Cheers to you! Love it!!
Totally agree! My morning routine is the same! Bible, dishes, 1 load laundry :)
This was so encouraging, thank you for sharing
So glad I found your channel. I used to make minimalism content but I stopped posting after baby #3. Maybe one day I’ll get back into it but for now my plate is full with homeschool and this 4th pregnancy haha ANYWAY I just wanted to say I love your content and how real you are without giving off a “better than everyone” attitude. Keep up the great work Momma ♥️ prayers for you as you continue the moving in process with littles, I know that can be stressful.
How sweet for your little ones to wake up and mama is already awake and at peace for the day.
My older sister was a baker, she loved baking so we always had ‘cake’. I ate cake for breakfast, nobody stopped me. I will be 60 years old this year and have fought a sweet tooth my entire life (not good) I blame it on cake for breakfast. Stay strong mama!
Eggs, flour, milk and good oils or butter :) sounds like breakfast to me! My kiddos had cake after lunch today :) must be a cake week!
It's so important to cherish your daily life! That makes up most of our days, so it's necessary to feel comfortable being with oneself and to care for one's own good. Very nice vlog, I'd love to see more of the positive selfcare! And it's so cool for me to see what mom life is like. My husband and I just moved to his home country Japan and we plan on having kids soon too!
Hello, love your videos especially as a Christian mum, really motivating ❤
Can you do one video for those working on shifts, especially night shift and coming home need to rest during the day.... How to really cope with this kind of routine. Thx
I have recently been implementing the habit of writing down 5 things I’m grateful for, as soon as I wake up, and it has been changing my days!
I began to notice how negative my thoughts are, first thing, and how ungrateful I can be if I don’t take the time to focus on all that I am blessed with. Game changer for real!
Oh that sweet little prayer. 🥰 I love when my girls pray. 🤍🤍
One of the sweetest things in life!
True on the bedrooms. My daughter was gifted a bright Frozen bed set for her birthday. She loved it, but started skipping naps and taking foreverrrrr to fall asleep at night. I hid it and brought her original one back out and she’s back to normal.
I needed this ♥️ thank you for showing your realistic and not perfect morning routine 🙏🏻
Absolutely! I knew I wasn't the only one wanting some realness on this particular subject. Thanks for taking the time to share that and comment, IT's so helpful!
beautiful and inspiring ❤
I watched your 30 day dress challenge video and enjoyed your reflections Thank you for sharing
This just made me feel ten times better as a mom and just feeling like everything has to be perfect all the time. Thank you for this video and keeping it real with us. ❤
Absolutely! Thanks for sharing that, it helps me continue to show up even when my content feels bland. But it's real! So appreciate your kind words!
I love that you did not redo the video and kept it real :)
Thank you. So very much.
So welcome, Liz
I love how peaceful the music and the whole feel of your video is ✨ I agree God has been teaching me to give up control and trust him in all of motherhood.
Gosh yes, so sanctifying! Thanks, Hannah.
Going to chant this to myself when I'm getting up at 4:45.. "the morning is such an incredible gift, it's the chance for a fresh start". Thank you
So welcome, you're doing so great
I'm not a mom but man was this good timing. This was so comforting to me that I watched it multiple times. You've inspired me to wake up earlier today and fill up my cup before I dive into the craziness of work and the modern life 😪.
It's been a better day so far so I'm gonna try to keep this up. (also I LOVE that you follow the same people I do for diet advice, you know what's up)
Brought tears to my eyes!! So touched, thank you for sharing.
...and yes, love when I find people who think the same!
@@margaretmatheny ok now youre bringing tears to my eyes haha
Great video! Thanks!
No problem! Thanks for the encouragement!
Thank you. ❤ I really needed this today. I’m pregnant with my second and just feel like I can’t get a hold on anything. My health, my home, and my family. Nourishment is key ❤❤❤
Absolutely is! You can do this
I love this! Since I am also now a mama of 3 boys (4 ,2 and 2.5 months) and trying to figure out working 2 part time jobs again soon and the chaos and energy in this home of ours, this was very helpful and relatable. Mama Mia music is ALWAYS a mood booster and my boys just smile and watch me dance and join in at times too! Thanks for this, you are always a calming energy and I love your balance!
So welcome, Jessica. You're doing such a great job - Sending love!
I love your attitude even when kiddos wake up early.
Mine are early wakers some days too (like their mama!), so we implemented a system with a clock that turns green when it’s ok to come out (that’s 7 am for us). This helps because I like to do Bible time, workout and get ready before we start the day and homeschooling.
It’s been a good way for my children to have their own quiet time to read the Bible, look at books , play quietly or visit with their bunk mate. I even see the just staring at the ceiling and thinking :) We have 3 busy boys and a little girl ages 3-9, so a chance for me to have the house quiet is a big deal for me. It’s not always perfect and sometimes I have to send someone back upstairs an after a quick cuddle but it’s been so good for all of us!
Love your videos and how you keep your focus on Jesus!
Oh, I love this! Thanks for sharing your wisdom. Sounds like such a good thing to teach them too.
Thank you so much ❤
So welcome
Thanks for leaving a comment!
New to the channel and having the best time learning about a different life
Welcome! So touched reading this. Have a wonderful day
Great inspo video! I always appreciate your realness. Fun to settle into a new house. Thanks for the recs on the bedding. It looks so cozy and soft! I’d love to know which mattress you have?
We have SAVVY Rest! There are so many great and non-toxic options on the market these days. Savvy, Green Mattress, Avocado, 5 Little Monkeys(we have and love for the kids) just to name a few!
Thank you for the reminder that how MY morning goes is a reflection of how my kids mornings will go❤
Absolutely! That's exactly why I felt called to share it. You're doing a great job!
@@margaretmatheny ♥️
Hey Margaret
His sweet prayer!!! Love it so much!!! Fun fact I know your Aunt C! We visited and I mentioned your channel and she was like oh yeh she's my niece! I totally see it! So cool to know I've watched you for years and then found this out through one phone call. ❤ So happy to see you thriving! Keep on Momma!
Aw, she told me that!! What a small world! Thanks for the kind words too. Have a lovely day!!
I love that the spilling of the water happens to you too and not just me 🙈🤣 thanks for this video Margaret 🥰 hope Rory feels better soon, teething sucks!! ❤
Thanks!! He's doing much better now!!
@@margaretmatheny glad to hear it 🥰
What a sweet realistic video.
My 6 month old wakes up with me no matter the time, so i cant really get ahead in my day. We just run along with the day and my toddler. 😅
And that's totally fine in this season for you! I've had seasons like that as well. You're doing great
❤❤❤
🔥
❤
"Protect them by taking care of myself." - that part, so beautiful, so wise. Love u!
Thanks Gabby

Hi, I did not find in the description what those yellowy squares you ate at the beginning were
Oops! Sorry! Just updated it with the recipe ♥️
Your tiny brown sweater isn't tiny anymore! Praise! lolol
Hahahaha, so observant 😂 Got a new one for my birthday(yes I loved it that much). And still kept the tiny one and labeled it my "messy-work crop- sweater thing", lol.
Can you link the recipe for your gummies again!
Yes! Sorry, I totally forgot to add it to the description! All updated for you
Hi, good morning! I thought you mentioned a Christian mediation podcast in this video, or it might have been a different video? Do you remember which podcast you mentioned? Thanks!
It's called the Mindful Christian on youtube!
@@margaretmathenyoh great thanks!
Where is your robe from?
It was a gift! I believe it's from Pottery Barn
Did I miss the gummies recipe? I can’t find it!
Oops! Sorry! Just updated the video description with the recipe ♥️
@@margaretmatheny thank you!
6:45 If the Police and Military had digital badges that showed their baby pictures it would prevent any harm coming their way.
Where are your other two boys? School?
So peaceful. But what time do you usually go to sleep to be awake at 5 am? Lately it's been so hard for me
Between 8 and 9!
Why don’t you give your baby solids while you eat? He should be in his chair exploring food while you eat . Your just gonna eat in front of him lol ?
