September — The Rhythm of Routine
On the ninth month of the year, my journey gave to me…
5 AM alarms, 6 PM wind-downs, and a little eBook milestone!
This was the month when I leaned into discipline—from setting daily goals to sticking to my morning rituals, I started finding joy in the little victories. Whether it was journaling, meal prepping for the week, or finally committing to that long-abandoned workout plan, each task felt like a tiny step toward becoming the version of myself I’d envisioned.
If September had a soundtrack, it would be the sound of alarms blaring at 5 AM. The month came with school running chaos again — getting breakfast ready, packing lunch boxes, and somehow making it out the door in record time. By 6 PM, it was homework time, stories from the day, and prepping for the next. My alarm clock worked overtime, but so did my sense of purpose.
It was exhausting, yes. But also oddly satisfying. There’s beauty in showing up every day, no matter how chaotic it feels. And somehow, I made it through.
School runs also reminded me of the superpowers we as parents have — balancing everything like seasoned acrobats. From waking up before the sun to squeezing in a breather between deadlines and school pick-ups, I can officially say I deserve a medal!
September wasn’t just about juggling routines; it was also about creating something meaningful. I published my very first eBook — a practical guide for mothers on planning healthy, fuss-free meals for their kids during the school term.
This book was born out of my own experiences, frustrations, and solutions as a mom. It’s my little way of helping moms find ease in the madness of school mornings. Sharing it with the world felt like putting a part of myself out there, and I couldn’t be prouder.

September reminded me that routines are more than simply discipline; they also allow for development and creative thinking. Between school runs and publishing milestones, I found a balance that kept me grounded, and I’m very glad.
