5 Tips For Cry Free Early Mornings

5 Tips For Cry Free Early Mornings

This post is sponsored by NESTLÉ® NESQUIK® but the content and opinions expressed here are my own. Hazel is an early riser, and I usually am too, but only when I’ve had a full nights sleep, which isn’t happening these days. In this season of life, I’d say that Hazel is my morning alarm clock. But, it’s not always a pleasant wake-up call.  Sometimes I’m woken up to heavy breathing on my neck, a tickling sensation on my face, and other times she just comes to my face and says “MOM!”.

Hazel usually watches a show in the morning while I nurse Hanna and then feed her baby food. And it isn’t too long into Hazel’s show that she is wanting me to get her breakfast ready too-she has been loving eggs and strawberries lately so it’s not just a simple cereal bowl to fix up.
