Showers, Blow drying hair and makeup

When do you do it? Tia!

If I can drag myself out of bed before the kiddos wake at 6, then that's when. However, DS2 has been waking at 5:30 and taking a long hour to get back to sleep so it's put a kink in my schedule. If I don't get it done early, then I try after I get my DS1 off to preschool after 8:30. I'll put DS 2 in his crib with some music and toys. He's good for 10-15 minutes this way. I can shower, brush teeth, get dressed in this time. Then I move downstairs and put him in a new play setting (floor gym usually) and blow-dry, do makeup for another 10-15 minutes while he plays. By then, it's time for his first nap, and then I can have some time to myself if he cooperates:) It's not ideal by any means but I don't feel myself if I don't at least blow dry and do some mascara, blush, lip gloss.

I shower at night and always have. I get up at 6 and get dressed and do hair/makeup before DS wakes up at 6:30. On the off chance he wakes up early, I just plop him in the bouncer and chat at him while I finish up.

Pretty much this exactly, except I have stopped blow drying my hair. I still heat style it with a straightening iron sometimes; I'm just not as particular as I was before. Ain't nobody got time for that sh*t. Stick out tongue

I shower at night too.

I wake up at 5AM to brush my teeth, wash my face, and pump at the same time.

I wake up to shower at 6, I'm out and DH is in by 6:15, I dry my hair, do my makep, get dressed while he's in the shower and getting ready, then 6:45 or so I give DD2 her bottle and he has breakfast with DD1 and then takes her upstairs to get dressed and brush her teeth.

I put the babies down for the night at 8pm. Then I take my shower and blow dry my hair before their 10:30pm dream feed. They're usually still asleep at 7am when I wake up so I get dressed and do my hair and make up then before waking them to eat at 7:30. In the event they wake before 7:30, I feed them first and put them in their RnPs to watch the Today show while I'm getting ready Wink

I will add that I lay EVERYTHING out the night before (clothes, jewelry, etc.) so I get dressed very quickly.

I only have one LO but I tend to stay up late so getting up early isn't in my repertoire. I normally put him in his jumperoo in the bathroom doorway and get everything done while he jumps away. He loves that thing! My routine takes about 45 minutes and he's happy the whole time.

MarisaKathleen · January 2013

I do it all in the morning. If LO gets up early, I feed her, burp her and let her play in her crib. I keep going in there, and usually she falls back to sleep. If it's a "normal" day, I get up at 530, do all my stuff and wake her up at 615 to get her changed, fed and ready to go.

I put him in his RnP in our bathroom while I shower and my husband gets dressed/ready . I usually hang out in my robe for a bit (I'm a SAHM) and feed LO, etc. I have learned to wait until we leave the house to get dressed and ready (he tends to spit up all over me more than I like!). While getting dressed and make up on, etc, I either do that while LO is napping in the morning, or if it's a no-nap day I put him in the RnP in our bathroom. He seems to enjoy watching me do makeup and stuff as long as I talk to him throughout .

I used to wait til his naptimes, but now that I have to be out the door at a certain time I can't always do that. Sometimes I can get him back to sleep by 6:30/7 and then I shower and get ready. But if he doesn't go down by 7:30, then I take his swing in the bathroom. This actually works really well, b/c he has some happy awake time and I don't have to worry about listening for him in the next room. I rarely put on makeup (I'm a full time student/ SAHM, so who cares) but I do blow-dry and straighten when DH wakes up at 8:30.

Right now since I'm still on mat leave, I try to do them when she naps (which is hard, considering she's fighting naps right now). I actually put her in her Fisher Price chair/rocker the other day on the ground in the bathroom while I took a shower and she actually fell asleep! It was great to have a bit of extra time

I wake up 90 minutes before DD wakes up so I can have coffee, pump, shower, get dressed and do my makeup. If I have time I start dishes and other cleaning....

londonellemarie · January 2013

this but I play my iPod while I get ready and he laughs and coos to the music.

i don't do full hair and makeup, but i'm a SAHM right now so there isn't much of a reason to. i bring DD in the room when i shower, keeping her inher bouncer chair.

when i dry my hair at least, i either keep her in her bouncer or wait until she goes down for a nap.
