Hi friends, since I want to start blogging more regularly, I decided I want to do a day in the life post once a month. I love reading others’ day in the life posts and I think it will be really special to have these to look back on.
This was just a regular, very low key day. I hope you enjoy a peak into our very mundane, but special to us, life! 😉
5:45am: I woke up at 5:45 wide awake but laid in bed until 6:30.
6:30am- Decided it was time to stop wasting time on my phone and get up. I made some coffee with my new Ninja coffee maker that I got for Christmas and sat down to read my bible and journal.
7:30am- I started to get hungry so I had a yogurt, paid some bills then made breakfast. I forgot to take a picture of my full breakfast but I made breakfast potatoes and scrambled eggs with cheese.
I’ve been trying to eat a more balanced breakfast than just cereal because that’s all I’m used to eating and it barely fills me up. Eating a proper breakfast has been such a game changer.
9:00am- Shaney slept super late this day and woke up at 9! He’s been sleeping a lot more lately, probably because he’s fighting off a sinus infection. Poor bud.
I made him these waffles for breakfast. I alternate between buying these and Kodiak cake protein waffles for him. While he was eating I let him watch a TV show while I ate my breakfast and read some blogs.
10:00am- I had lots of laundry to do this day so I folded some and ran down into the basement to put some more into the wash. Noelley just napped all day. 😂
11:00am- Shaney and I read for a while. This is definitely his favorite activity by far! If he’s not requesting to watch “Froze” then he wants to read lots and lots of books. No complaints here!
12:00pm- We (I was) were feeling extra sleepy this day so I decided to watch a movie with Shaney while we waiting for Tommy to come home from work. He gets out at 12:00pm most days! I had really been wanting to show Shaney Monsters Inc. since it’s one of my favorites, so that’s what we watched. Shane really liked it.
Sometime while we were watching the movie I texted Tommy that I was really in the mood for Chinese food so he stopped on his way home and picked us up some delicious lunch that day!
1:00pm- Tommy came home and we all ate lunch together. Then we put Shaney down for his nap at 1:30.
2:00pm- I did the dishes from breakfast and lunch, switched over the laundry and while I was in the basement discovered that the pipes under out kitchen sink were leaking (again). We had just bought a new faucet about a month earlier because of the same problem.
Tommy got to work trying to figure it out. He had to run out to the hardware store to buy caulk, but ended up fixing the issue with enough time to get the dinner dishes done that night. 😉
3:00pm- While he was working on the sink, I started working on an Etsy order. I painted the decal on this kitchen organizer and got everything else together that we needed to finish it.
4:30pm- Had to wake Shaney up from his nap otherwise he was never going to go to sleep at a reasonable time that night. So thankful for a boy who loves to sleep! 😂
We just hung out together for a while until it was time to make dinner. (Yes Shaney did indeed stay in his pajamas all day.)
5:30-7:30pm- I honestly don’t remember who made dinner or what we ate this night but I think Tommy made dinner. We ate and then Tommy and I talked about changes at his job and then I read some more to Shane.
7:30pm- Shaney had a bath and then I nursed him and put him to bed at 8.
8:15pm- Tommy and I cleaned up the house before relaxing. Tommy generally does the dishes while I clean up the rest of the house.
8:30-10:00pm- Tommy and I talked and caught up for the day without a toddler demanding our attention.
10:00pm- We went to bed but I wasn’t tired yet so Tommy went to sleep (since he wakes up at 4 am) while I read some blogs.
11:30pm- I got sucked into reading blogs and went to bed entirely too late at 11:30. It’s really a struggle for me to go to bed early as I’m a natural night owl. I just really would rather be a morning person so I try to go to bed early so I can get up early, but that doesn’t always happen.
Thanks for following along! What does a typical day in your life look like?
