5 a.m. Morning Routine| Up Before My 8 Kids for Devotion & Homemade Pop Tarts

Описание: In today’s 5 a.m. morning vlog, I’m waking up before my eight children for quiet time with the Lord, morning devotion, and attempting homemade pop tarts from scratch for the first time.

As a homeschool mom and homemaker, I’ve learned that my mornings shape my attitude, my patience, and the atmosphere of our home. When I spend time with God before the day begins, everything shifts. I lead differently. I respond differently. I carry peace into the chaos.

If you’re a stay-at-home mom, homeschooling mom, or a woman desiring to grow in faith and discipline, this is your reminder: start before the world wakes up.

In this video:
• 5 a.m. quiet morning routine
• morning devotion and prayer time
• homemade strawberry jam from scratch
• easy homemade pop tarts
• peaceful homemaking motivation



STRAWBERRY JAM RECIPE

Ingredients:
1 cup fresh strawberries (chopped)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 lemon, freshly squeezed

Instructions:
Add strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice to a small saucepan over medium heat.
Stir and allow the mixture to simmer for 8–10 minutes until the strawberries soften.
Mash the strawberries with a fork or potato masher.
Continue simmering until slightly thickened.
Remove from heat and allow to cool (it thickens more as it cools).



HOMEMADE POP TARTS

Ingredients:
1 package pre-made pie crust (2 crusts)
1 cup strawberry jam or preserves
2 cups powdered sugar
4 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons melted butter
Sprinkles (optional)

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Roll out the pie crust into a large rectangle and cut to fit your baking sheet.
Place one crust on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Spread strawberry jam evenly, leaving a 1-inch border.
Lay the second crust on top.
Press edges to seal and crimp with a fork.
Brush melted butter over the top and poke holes with a fork.
Bake 18–20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Mix powdered sugar and milk until smooth to create icing.
Once cooled, spread icing on top and add sprinkles.
Allow icing to set before slicing.
Enjoy.
