I have written posts about productive mornings and why you should have a morning routine, but sometimes it’s nice to day dream about what my ideal morning would look like. Sure this is completely possible to have and it’s nothing crazy, but life happens and sadly not every morning can be this perfect.
First I would wake up early because I am not someone who likes to sleep in. I am the epitome of a morning person. Because in my ideal morning I got exactly enough sleep the night before to wake up feeling very well rested. (A girl can dream right?) I would wash my face and brush my teeth along with the rest of my morning skincare routine and get dressed in workout clothes. Always my fashion preference. I would eat some breakfast and since I have nothing but time on this ideal morning I would make egg whites with spinach, turkey bacon, and wheat toast. YUM.
I would go take a barre, yoga, or spin class first thing, because getting my workouts done first is the best. I have the most energy in the mornings right now so I always try to get a good workout in.
I would then come back home and make some coffee because yes I can have one a day while pregnant. Lately I have been putting more tummy friendly things in my coffee. One thing I really love is the Silk Vanilla Almond Creamer. It’s especially great when I am making my coffee at home and I love the taste it gives it. It feels like such a fancy treat even though it’s so easy to make. I love the way having a hot cup of delicious coffee and the ability to sit in a quiet room reading a great book can make you feel. That would be another way to have my ideal morning: coffee and reading. BLISS. Silk creamers are really delicious and I highly suggest trying this Vanilla flavor! AMAZING!
I would sit down at my computer and write a few blog posts because yes my ideal morning does involve me doing a little work. I truly love blogging and feel so blessed that it’s my job, so working on weekends or even on a day I have planned just for me I still love it.
After getting some work done whilst enjoying my coffee I would set out and go get a manicure/pedicure and then get a smoothie and head to see a movie alone. One of my favorite things to do for me time is see a movie by myself. Usually this is a chick flick that Andrew has no desire to see. But for me movies alone are just bliss.
By this time it’s probably time for lunch so my ideal morning is over. However, I know I would feel refreshed and reading for the days ahead.
How would you spend your ideal morning?
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Silk. The opinions and text are all mine.
Wow, I love that mug. Sounds like a nice morning.
Not a morning person, but beside that I couldn’t agree more!
Oh, and that mug… must have one.
I would spend it with a walk outside, followed by coffee because it’s essential and my favorite breakfast. Then I would blog, read and take my time getting ready for the day!
I would sleep in until 7:00 am, go for a nice long walk. Have brunch and probably watch a old movie.
I’m all for joining you along on your ideal morning. Love the early wake up call… The workout and the coffee!! One thing I would add is to get the quick tidying up in my house ?
This sounds blissful and relaxing, yet so productive! This is exactly the way that I operate, too.

Mine is very similar to yours.
Sounds like an awesome morning to me! And I *love* that mug.
Your ideal morning sounds pretty much the same as my ideal morning, except I might swap out the coffee for some coconut water.
Sounds perfect. I’m a morning person too. I would rather wake up before everyone else and enjoy my morning coffee in peace and quiet. Ps I have been wanting to try the Silk Almond Milk coffee creamer but haven’t got around to it yet.
Starting my morning with a good workout and a cup of coffee are KEY! Also, just not feeling rushed is a big one to set the right pace for my day!
Your ideal morning sounds brilliant! I am not a morning person but I always try to get up earlier than I normally wood to stick to a routine.
Your morning sounds great! I wish I was more of a morning person but after I get the kids off to school I start on housework or blogging right away so I am not tempted to go back to bed.
I love this post! I think it’s so important to think about what we want in our ideal morning/week/life/etc! And that mug is so cute!
I love your ideal morning. And coffee. And silk products. I actually didn’t realize you could have a cup a day while pregnant, which is something that always scared me re pregnanxy–good to know!!
I love this! My ideal morning is sleeping in and snuggling with my husband.
I am so not a morning person so my perfect morning would allow me to sleep until 10:00 but still have 4 hours left in the morning!
Waking up early and hitting the gym is definitely something I wish I could do every day!!!! PS I love your mug 🙂
Sounds like a very lovely chilled morning (would have to opt for yoga over spin though!)
I am a total morning person too! NO sleeping in for me! Sleeping in for me is like sleeping until 7:15am and I feel EXTREMELY guilty doing that, ah ha ha!
Any morning that I wake up feeling well rested is an ideal morning, haha!
I actually have switched from regular milk to almond milk. I have seen but not yet tried the creamer. I think I may just do that and then with a cup of coffee–relax with a book!
This sounds like a perfect morning!

This does sound like the perfect morning. I wish I could wake up on my own with no alarm every day!
This sounds like a perfect morning! I love working out in the mornings and treating myself to something fun like a movie in the afternoon!

I need that mug! I need to get to a Francesca’s. My oldest son loves Silk!
I love the mug. Sounds like it would be a good morning.
Sounds like an awesome morning! My ideal morning is sleeping in (not too late) but still relaxing, getting up and going to the gym, and working on my blog and business.

My ideal morning involves barre or brawl, for sure. Then a good breakfast with a delicious mimosa. 🙂 A few minutes of quiet time.
I get up early in the morning not because I want to but because I have to. I have pretty much the same routine as you and it takes me 2 cups (or shall I say, mugs instead) of coffee before I am ready to start my day.
Ahh yes, same! Bring on the morning workout and the coffee. Nothing like it to start a day right… now if I could just motivate myself to get up early all the time ha!
I wish I were the type to workout shortly after getting up, but I need some time to wake up. 🙂 I’m a night owl, so I”d definitely sleep in a little if I could, although I don’t like to sleep too late otherwise I feel really unproductive.
My ideal morning are frst I need to take a quick exercise that is 30mins and breakfast. I think this Silk Almond would be perfect for me.
That mug is so cute ! My ideal morning is waking up before the baby does so I can get things done and not feel so rushed in the AM!
Having a bit of a normal morning routine really does help me be way more productive for the entire day. I enjoy getting up before the rest of the house to get started and get a few things accomplished. I also have to have my cup or 2 of coffee!
You described a truly wonderful start to the day! Now, where can one get that rocking mug? 🙂
I almost never have an ideal morning. But it, like every morning I do have, involves at least two cups of coffee.
Sounds very inspiring . In reflection, I drove my daughter to school without even combin my hair. Came home to finish laundry . Made coffee. Actually added sweetener to my coffee grounds to skip a step. Daughter is having a sleep over do had to make the place presentable. Now off to job one and job two today. 12 hour days. I’m blessed.
Loving that mug!! Looks like the perfect morning!!
I’m learning to be a morning person. This is always a work in progress, as I certainly am not and have never been an early riser. However, waking early does give me time to plan and puddle around trying to wake myself up and gather my thoughts. My ideal morning is me waking up early, enjoying my final moments of silence, coffee, journaling and devotion and just peace before the day begins! Great piece
I would spend my idea morning reading my Bible before starting my day. Yet, most days I’m awakened by a preschooler that needs mommy pronto!
I am drinking out of that very same mug right now! 🙂 And I love Silk, but I did not know about that creamer. I must find it!
LOVE that morning. I prefer milk in my coffee, so lately I’ve been using the Sill Unsweetened Coconut Milk.. coconut coffee is my new favourite thing.
My ideal morning involves a run, followed by a long hot shower, and a leisurely breakfast (ideally outside at a cafe somewhere… coffee, fresh croissant, scrambled egg and some fruit). Then some work for the blog followed by some errands
