It’s been over a year since my last ten on ten – time flies! I thought it was a good time to document a super normal, lazy summer day where we don’t go anywhere or do anything exciting. Here’s a peek at our beautifully average day:
8:05am: After breakfast, everyone scatters to do their own thing, so I hunkered down for an hour of work on Big White Farmhouse. Today I planned a week’s worth of social media posts, researched for future blog posts and responded to a few emails.
9:27am: I hit the jackpot when I found this homemade Flash Halloween costume on the Kidizen app, just the right size for J. He is absolutely hilarious in it and we made a whole photo series of him beating up the “bad guys” aka his brothers.
10:12am: I’m making a list of clothes the kids need for fall and sat down to quickly browse Kidizen. Success! Found a button-down shirt for M and jeans and a dress for Sophie.
11:35am: Pregnancy is so weird. I haven’t really had an appetite for anything in particular and some days, nothing sounds good to eat. Today for lunch, I started with chips and guacamole and will hopefully fill up on some protein later in the day.
12:45pm: TJ went down easily for a nap, so I got in my mile walk on the treadmill – in flip flops. (Did I mention I’m starting my 100 Little Things challenge of a 30-day walking streak? Today was Day 2!)
1:00pm: TJ is still asleep and the kids are playing in the basement, so I put on Fixer Upper for inspiration and worked a few minutes on Big White Farmhouse.
2:02pm: TJ crawled into my lap to cuddle, but wasn’t ready to wake up and fell back to sleep. So with everyone happily occupied, I took a nap too!
3:30pm: Up and at ’em again and playing a little game of hide and seek. The kids love to wrap themselves in my dining room curtains…one of these days I know I’m going to find the whole rod torn off the wall!
4pm: Lost track of TJ for a minute and found him happily playing with his “guys” by the stairs. What a sweetie pie.
5:25pm: Mark and I are having a date night tonight so the kids were in charge of dinner. M is on a sandwich kick and created a masterpiece. He was so proud.
