This isn’t a regular morning routine, it’s a cozy fall morning routine. The difference? An actual cozy morning begins the night before.
There is nothing relaxing about waking up to a mess, fumbling around in the dark, or realizing you need something in the room where your littles are sound asleep.
Insert: T.I.M.E, an easy productivity system to implement at night so that you can actually enjoy your morning.

How To Have A Cozy Fall Morning
Fall is literally the best season! && chilly mornings are everything.
Waking up when it is still dark out, throwing on your robe and slippers, lighting a pumpkin spice candle, sipping hot creamer uh, I mean coffee, and wrapping up in your favorite blanket.
This cozy Pinterest worthy morning however does not just happen – especially as a mom.
With T.I.M.E your mornings will be twelve times more enjoyable && cozy.
Tidy Up
Take a few mins to tidy up your living room and kitchen. Raise your hand if going to sleep with a dirty sink induces nightmares. (Okay, dramatic much! But you understand, right?)
Intentional Placement
Think about what you will need in the morning; place these items so that they are easily accessible. In addition to items like your robe and slippers, think about what you will need to cook breakfast. If fetching your skillet is going to wake the neighbors, get it out and place it on the stove top.
Make it Aesthetically Pleasing
Decide where you are going to enjoy your morning – the couch, a recliner, your desk. Then, make it pretty. Drape your blanket, arrange your media, set out your coffee mug.
Essentials Only
Cozy is definitely a mood and an aesthetic – it is warm, soft, quiet, fragrant, peaceful, slow. Keep things simple by only including the essentials for your morning.
Cozy Fall Morning Essentials

- Warm Robe

- Planner / Journal / Book
Cozy Fall Morning Routine
Drink water for your blessings. Use a water cup that fits your cozy aesthetic and that is functional – my favorite is a white YETI.
Enjoy your coffee while it is hot. Use your favorite mug. Add some pumpkin spice creamer. Sip with a straw.
Light your candles.
Get cozy. Throw on your robe and slippers. Some mornings are made for a thick, plush Barefoot Dreams robe and others only require a soft, light robe. Wrap up in your favorite blanket. This one is literally perfect for cozy fall mornings – so soft && aesthetically pleasing!
Choose your media. I love spending my cozy mornings flipping through my planner with Gilmore Girls quietly playing in the background. You could read a book, journal, quietly watch tv, listen to music, whatever fits your cozy aesthetic. Or maybe simply sitting and sipping your coffee in silence is your choice – anything goes.
Let in the sunshine. Just as the sun begins to rise, open your blinds and let the light slowly fill your space.
Remember, this is not a slow morning that has cozy vibes about it (love love love those, but no) this is an intentional cozy morning. && T.I.M.E is so perfect for Type A-ish moms because you are productively planning to relax.
The key is to do as much the night before; otherwise, I know you will be thinking about all the things you could be doing instead of just getting cozy.
Of course, you won’t always have time {or the energy} to prepare && even if you do, um life.
However, T.I.M.E is worth implementing so that even if you cannot have a cozy fall morning to yourself, you can still enjoy a slower morning in a clean space.
T.I.M.E is the perfect way to curate your cozy mom aesthetic.
This is perfect for your Mom Aesthetic board on Pinterest! You should totally consider saving it.
