I work with antique books and we often find antique flowers pressed in the pages. My favorites are ferns. The flowers always leave a slight acid burn on the pages, so we also see books that we know once had ferns pressed in them because of the fern-shaped acid burn lol. You could stick some extra paper on either side of the flowers to protect the books (somewhat).

Rain is absolutely a reason to slow down and enjoy simple things

So Tim ferris had a woman on names Maria popova, she's nutso productive and has built one of the most successful blogs out there in 2 years time. She is brilliant, reads like 5 books a week or something. On that podcast she said something really smart, that she doesn't like to plan because planning brings you out of the present.

I wouldn't say I'm any more "productive" doing things this way (thought I guess it depends on how you define that term) but I am definitely a whole lot happier and more focused on the things that are truly important to me.

This is actually very useful to me, believe it or not. As is, my morning routine: 1.) Wake up. Regret it. 2.) Hungry?: N 3.) Coffee?: N 4.) Do I care at all?: N 5.) Start work. 6.) Approx 90 mins in, regret not eating or drinking coffee earlier. Too late to turn back now. Resolve to eat and drink coffee next morning. Next morning: Repeat steps 1-6.

@@fremont111 no need to where I'm at, we have no water shortage

On my self-compassion journey, I'm working on accepting being inconsistent. Some days, I'll get up and feel motivated enough to read or take a walk. Other days, all I can do is make coffee and oatmeal for breakfast and stare out the window and vibe. Both are acceptable and normal and good!

Oh yeah, I established that Wednesday is the say that I'm not obligated to do anything. Because there were some Wednesdays where I could do nothing, so I thought to formalize it. It works well!

I have a mopping hour too in the morning 😂 I tell my kids “ mommy is having coffee time. “

You’re my twin. My kids know Mommy’s coffee time is sacred. I have at least a 45 minute buffer before anything starts or can be demanded of me.

Идея с прессоваными цветами просто великолепна! Это просто чудо, что Caroline сейчас поделилась этой идеей - мы не могли придумать что повешать над диваном в гостиной, и мама прекрасно выращивает цветы - идеальное сочетание! ❤

“something in the morning has to be stupid” 10/10 i love this so much

Listen to your sister… The Amish stress really has to go…😂. All of the other dresses are darling on you.❤. Love the sweats/jogger. When I take my brakes, I wash dishes, make a cup of tea, take a sun break with my cat, sometimes, rarely, I jump on my stationary bike or trampoline. Thanks for keeping it real Caroline.❤

hahaha listen you're probably right, but sometimes i just gotta be a little amish

Oh man I needed this like four months ago.

I love your walk / nature alternative ✨

I love your realness, Caroline! Never stop! ❤

Yesss! Thank you for a very normal and relatable morning routine!

Try using your pressed flowers for journaling. Just washi tape them right in there ☺ it’ll bring you so much joy!

Loved this! So relatable and helpful!

Thank You! Especially love the Moping Hour!

This is the type of video im gonna need to watch over and over, ty!

I’ve always loved how you decorate your place, that KITCHEN is marvelous

I love the playlist choices for this video.

You always come out with a video just when I need it for inspo 😅

Thanks a lot for showing this honestly! As you always do! ❤️

Can always count on Caroline to keep it real!

Caroline's channel is comforting like a warm cup of coffee

So refreshing and genuine ❤

I can’t watch yet bc I’m at work but I just wanted to say ily as much as you can love someone you have a parasocial relationship with bc how do you always know what content I need…. Thank you queen

I was lamenting to my husband literally 2 days ago that the routine videos I used to enjoy are just so un-relatable and unrealistic. As a budding solo-preneur starting my own interior design journey, this is the most relatable morning routine I’ve ever watched, and it made me feel a lot better- I also find staring into the void a necessary part of my “process” and can’t wake up early for the life of me haha. Thank you for making content that reflects real life! ❤

Egg in the hole is also my favorite breakfast 😂🍳

I really love you clips 🤣 literally the only clips that I watch from a vlogger

Great video! Love your honesty, it’s really what keeps me coming back.

The best morning routine video created on this platform up to date. We ADORE you. Thank you, thank you!!!

I am so grateful for this channel! Thank you for what you do 💕

Love you and your content. Thanks so much for sharing x

Every time I watch your vids it’s like a breath of fresh air. I love your honesty of how shitty life is and examples of why, then backing it with advice that has worked for you and (again) the why. The fact that you paint vivid pictures and explain yourself or something well and be charismatic about it is everything! ❤

I love you so much for this video. THANK YOU!

You're a gem. You're hilarious, comforting, practical, and wise!

How you don’t have more subscribers, I’ll never understand. You speak my truth!

Thank you for making a video which made me feel like a normal human being. The end part where you said that the rainy weather made you feel lazier than you should be.. that's me with rainy/greyish weather all.the.time - and, mind you, I live in northern Germany so that's basically my life for like 7 months/year.

Again thank you for being vulnerable with us. We appreciate it.

Thank you Caroline! I respect that you're very upfront and transparent and real 🎉

Thank u, this was very helpful!

Caroline strikes again with the perfect video at the perfect time.... I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!

Really enjoyed this video caroline, thank you.
