Evening Routine with four kids

Welcome to season two where I will be sharing BTS as a mum of four, fifo wife & entrepreneur!

This episode is all about evening routines. I share a rough outline of what ours looks like and discuss the compromises I make to balance the needs of my kids, and my own sanity.

As mentioned in the episode below is a short breakdown of our evening flow:

- home between 4/6pm

- boys play outside, I prep dinner from the menu plan

- sit to eat dinner (80% of the time) with a little gratitude prac

- pjs on and play

- tidy up and snack (fruit, yoghurt, popcorn)

- boys in bed for quiet time with ipads

- in rolling 15 minutes we take Mr 3s ipad and say goodnight, Mr 5s and then Mr 6s

- normally all three littles are asleep before 8:30pm

My routine:

- Shower (with candles, essential oils and music)

- Kettle on while I...

- load the dishwasher, wash dishes

- wipe down benches, dining table

- tidy bathrooms

- check boys clothes are out for next day plus shoes

- pack lunchbags

- pour cuppa

- 7 min evening yoga flow

- sip tea in bed while I read, listen to poddy/audio book, watch tedtalk/netflix doco

- night shift chat with hubby

- lights out at 10/10:30pm

*my teen goes to bed between 10/11pm
