Last week, Steph from Southern Mess had a fun post called A Photo An Hour. She decided to host a link up with Meg. O from Meg O. on the Go to have everyone else join in on the fun.
My day can be pretty hectic/boring, but I thought this sounded really fun. Some photos were taken with my camera and some with my phone.
I woke up before the kids. It's a miracle. I spent some time drinking the green juice I made last night (Kale, Kiwi, Pineapple, Mint) and a coffee. I sat down with my devotional and my bible study book to get some uninterrupted time in.
The kids are up, so I made them some breakfast.
I attempt to put on makeup and get dressed
I have to unlock Olivia from the bathroom because Jordan locked her in while I ran to the basement to grab some clothes. How he managed to lock her in while he was out of the bathroom, I have no idea. The skeleton key wouldn’t work so I had to take apart the door.
My makeup is finally done and I’m dressed, which means I put on a clean tee and clean leggings.
I’m going stir crazy because I haven’t been to the gym in a week because the kids have been sick so I try and get in a workout. It was a success. I loved the Love Your Body HIIT workout workout from Tone It Up. (My booty is still sore this morning!)
I make some lunch for everyone, homemade mini pizzas.
I attempt to put little munchkins down for a nap. I was not successful.
Jordan’s doing the usual, destroying the playroom. He’s pretending his safari truck is a lobster and yes, he is wearing his rash guard and swimsuit. He said he wanted to wear it so we could go to Long Island on a long long drive to go see Grandpa and Grandma and go in their pool.
I attempt to clean up my office/sewing/guest room so we can put the new bed in. (I wasn’t that successful and I swear it really isn't "that" bad, the pictures make it look a lot worse.)
I start doing some meal prep. I’m making spaghetti squash for dinner and I decided to try out the oven method for hardboiled eggs. It turned out pretty good.
Jordan passed out right before 6, so Olivia and I are having fun playing in the kitchen while we wait for Tj to get home.
Olivia gets a bath and then goes to bed. Somehow her brother is still sleeping (and slept until 8 am this morning!)
Sparkly shoes can make any bad day better. I'm also a million times more productive when I wear these around the house.
I find Wickett curled up in his new favorite spot, the kitchen sink.
I decided to take an Epsom Salt bath and go to bed!
This was a really great idea. I'll have to remember this so I can do another one!
Ooh! I love this! I have been wanting to do a post about my 'usual' day, but I think this would make it easier if I just did a photo an hour! Love your kitty in the sink! :) And, I laughed when you said you put makeup on before working out... haha, altho I must admit I do wear makeup most days!!
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about doing a day in the life too, but this was so much easier! I put on my makeup and got dressed, not planning on working out at all! The kids were sitting so quietly watching Despicable Me that I couldn't help but try to fit something in!
DeleteYour kids are so cute!! I love that you actually used your legit camera instead of your phone, too. And now I want to try that TIU workout. Thanks for linking up with us!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I loved your idea for a post, so I'm so happy that you guys had the link up! I'm totally planning on doing it again. That TIU workout was no joke, my booty is still sore!
