Thank you New! One A Day with Nature’s Medley for sponsoring this post! I received product/compensation from OAD to write this post. Of course, all opinions are my own.

Mornings can really set the tone for how the rest of the day will go. My husband and I love routine. We are planners and doers by nature, so naturally we have a typical morning routine that we find helps us start our days off right. Our kids also appreciate and strive on routine. I’m not talking about anything crazy or too difficult. It’s just a healthy morning routine that anyone can do in only three simple steps.

Have Breakfast as a Family | We LOVE breakfast. Filling our bellies right from the start gives us more energy to conquer the day. During the work week, we typically have a quick breakfast of cereal, toast, or eggs, but on the weekends we love to cook breakfast together as a family and make it a little more special.  Most Saturday mornings, you’ll find us enjoying my husband’s family pancake recipe. Evelyn loves getting in the action and helping pour and mix the ingredients together.

We each have our preferences when it comes to our pancakes. My husband loves his with blueberries mixed into the batter turning them warm and gooey. I like mine cold, fresh, and piled on top. Evelyn requests no blueberries, so I try to sneak them on her plate, but my tricks never work! That’s where the next step comes to play…

Take Daily Multi-Vitamins | Even though Evie refuses to eat the blueberries, I don’t usually worry about it. I’ll keep offering them to her hoping one day she’ll change her mind, but we also all take daily multivitamins to help make sure my “sometimes picky eater” gets all the nutrients she needs.

We all just started taking New One A Day with Nature’s Medley multivitamins. They are uniquely formulated for men, women, and kids (we each have our own bottle) and they are the only complete multivitamin with plant-based antioxidants from one total USDA serving size of fruits and veggies!

Sometimes it’s difficult to get all the nutrients we need from food alone even though we try our best. Taking our One A Day with Nature’s Medley vitamins daily help give us that that nutritional support even when our busy lives get in the way, or someone refuses to eat what we’re offering! #ToddlerLife ☺

Fill Water Bottles | Another thing I try to do every morning is fill each of our water bottles. I find that if I do it right away, we’re all more likely to drink more water, which is extra important now that the weather is getting hotter.

It’s also helpful when I’m juggling taking care of Levi or nursing him and Evie is suddenly thirsty. Can any other nursing moms relate? Why do toddlers save up all their wants and needs for right when you sit down to breastfeed? It never fails. At least by having her water bottle already prepared, I can point her to it without having to get up. Let’s just hope that’s all she needs until I’m done 😉

There you have it, just three simple steps to start a healthy morning routine for the entire family. When life gets busy it’s nice to know that we kicked off the day with a family breakfast, our vitamins, and filled water bottles.

You can find the New One A Day with Nature’s Medley multivitamins at Walmart near the pharmacy. We love that they are yummy tasting gummies which is way more exciting than a capsule or pill! And, rest assured, the colors come from natural sources and they are free of artificial flavors and sweeteners. Love that!

Whether you’re making a special family recipe like dad’s pancakes or mom’s famous egg scramble or just having a quick bowl of cereal. You can implement these simple steps to get your family on the right track each day.
