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. 

It’s been a few months since my last ten on ten, so I thought it would be fun to document our typical summer routine!  It was just an ordinary time at home, which they always seem to be.  One of these days, I’ll pick a month where we’re out and about and doing exciting things!  Until then, here’s a peek at our beautifully average day.
