Mama routine with 2 under 2

A day in our life

I've been meaning to upload this post for a few weeks now, but wasn't particularly happy with how it sounded; it's different to my usual post as I haven't uploaded a 'routine' before; which is why I think it's taken me soooo long to write. I asked on my Instagram story whether you'd be interested on a day in the life or mama routine with 2 under 2 post, and I was surprised on how many of you were actually interested in what we do on a day to day basis. So I thought I'd give you all a little insight into my life with 2 under 2. I haven't personally come across many of these posts, well being honest I've never really researched for any....so definitely let me know if you've seen any! 

I must add that I haven't gone to in depth as I didn't want to bore you all, either way I hope that you find this post some what interesting. :) 

- 06.00am 
Around this time I'm woken from my slumber by little Flo Belle. She'll usually wakes at this time for a cuddle, bum change and some milk. Whilst little lady feeds I tend to have a nose on Instagram, Pinterest or play a game on my phone - my favourite is 'Shoot bubble extreme'. Or if I'm feeling brave I'll have a mooch at some online shops adding practically everything to the basket before making the decision  £1657 + P&P is a bit pricey haha. 

- 06:30 - 06:45 
I'll pop Florance down for her nap in her moses basket, before heading to the bathroom where I'll go for a wee wee (TMI soz) and brush my teeth. 

- 06:50 
Heading back into the bedroom I'm usually greeted by a rosey cheeked, smiley little princess standing at the end of her cot. Evangeline and I both get back into bed for a cuddle and snuggle under the duvet, Evie will have a bottle of milk and she'll watch some CBeebies. 

- 07:00 
This is when I get up and start to organise nappies, outfits and tidy the bedroom. Evie is quite often playing with her toys at this point and Florance is catching ZZZ. Once I've picked an outfit for both girls I'll lay them out onto the bed and I'll pick mine out, a majority of the time I just grab whatever I can find - a top/jumper and jeans is my go to outfit. 

- 07:10 
I'll pop Evangeline onto the bed to get her changed into  her outfit of the day, I'll brush her hair, pop it into bunches with a clip to hold back her fringe. Evangeline will go back to playing whilst I practically sprint into the bathroom to have a wash and get dressed. A 'mum' bun is my signature look as its simple, quick and keeps my hair out of my face. 

- 07:20 
Around this time I'll make a start on tidying the room, I place all of the used baby bottles into a bag, theres roughly 9.. I take 11 upstairs into the bedroom at night - 3 are Evangeline's and 8 are Florance's. After placing them into the bag I also pop all of the dirty nappies in their nappy sacks into the bag, along with our washing - it's sooooo much easier to take it all down stairs to the kitchen in a bag than individually.

- 07:45
Florance will start to stir from her nap for another feed, once she's eaten I will change her nappy and her outfit.  At this point I will pop her into her moses basket for a few minutes whilst I quickly take Evangeline and the bag down stairs, I return upstairs to collect Florance. 

- 08:00
I'll take everything out of the bag, put nappies and rubbish into the bin, washing into the washing machine and bottles into the sink. Evangeline is placed into her high chair where she'll have her breakfast, I'll sit at the table whilst Evie eats and Florance will have another feed. (She's tiny, but she's hungry). 

- 08:15
Florance will have fallen asleep feeding so I pop her into her moses basket and make her all cosy with her blanket. I will then have my breakfast, a Muller rice yogurt and an apple. 

- 08:30
Evie will have eaten her yogurts and toast. After cleaning her face she will head into the front room to play with her toys. At this point its time to tackle to bottles, I wash them all up and place them into the steriliser. 

- 09:00 
Around this time we're all in the lounge, Evangeline is usually creating quite the mess with her toys and Florance is still napping. I take this opportunity to reply to emails and browse all of my fav social media. At this point I'd fill Florance's & Evangeline's clean bottles with cooled boiled water.

- 10:00 
Florance will wake from her nap ready for a feed, both her and Evie will have their nappies changed before drinking their milk. (Evie has some bottles formula & some cows milk) Evangeline also loves to tuck into some crisps - usually pom bears, skips, wotsits or quavers. 

 - 11:30

I'll head into the kitchen to prepair Evangeline's lunch, at this point Florance would be sleeping from her last feed (she sleeps, eats, poops, eats, sleeps and so on haha!) Evangeline will be sitting patiently in her high chair whilst I sort her lunch, depending on the day depends on what she has, some of her lunches are cottage pie, spaghetti, lasagne, roasts and so on. So we pick on the day. She will also have a sippy cup filled with water to help wash lunch down and a little snack. 

-12:00 
We will usually pop out around this time to run errands, pop to the park or do some shopping, depending on what we're doing, where we're going and how long we're going for depends on what happens. (Hopefully that makes sense) For example if we're not back for nap time Evie will usually nap in the car. 

- 14:00 
Evangeline will go down for her only nap of the day, which a majority of the time she will sleep for 1-2 hours. During this time Florance will have a feed and cuddles. But with the rest of the spare time I will wash up used bottles, put washing away and catch up on some good old telly, write the odd blog post - and if I'm feeling risky I'll paint my nails... What usually happens is I'll start painting my nails and one of the little ladies will wake meaning it'll smudge - so its a good job we have gel haha!

- 15:00 - 16:00 
During this time I'll usually have a shower, feed Evangeline her dinner, and then bath both girls, we'll play with Evies toys for a little while and of course theres lots of bum changes, cuddles and bottles in between. 

- 17:00
This is when I sit down with my family and eat my dinner, Florance tends to be in my arms or moses basket behind me whilst I eat and Evie will be having a snack in her high chair - she will have some bits from my dinner too!

- 18:00 - 21:00 
We take full advantage of cosy evenings and cuddle up watching lots of different movies, mainly Evie's favourite ones - Sing, Moana, Frozen and Boss Baby. Evangeline will have another dinner before playing with her toys a little more. 

- 21:00 
At this time I will take both girls up to bed, I'm not going to go any more indepth as I'm going to be doing a night time routine.  

Congrats if you made it to the end haha! I hope you enjoyed looking into a day in our life! 
Thank you for reading and I'll speak to you in my next post.
