Day in the Life, January 2019

Howdy Ya'll! Welcome back to the blog! 
Today I am posting a day in the life, my most favorite blog of all time! It is so much fun to document what our day looks like, especially so I can look back and see how far we have come with our days! 


I picked a random day last week, so I picked Wednesday January 16, 
and started bright and early at 4:15 when hubby wakes up for work! 


I make his lunch, three sandwiches, some water, and some snack crackers before he heads out the door at 5. 

I have also started to through everything but Char's sandwich in her lunch box so all I have to do is grab her sandwich and ice pack and through her lunch in her backpack. Makes life easier :) 

I fill my cup with some more water, and a splash of apple juice 

and play a game of Solitaire 

before cuddling up with this little at 5:30 when he comes in for snuggles and another hour of sleep! 

My next alarm goes off at 6:25 when I have to get the kiddos up and dressed and out the door

Lunch is done

and the kiddos requested cereal this morning so into small baggies it goes, 

and my little side kick sitting helping me with blanket and milk in hand

I have my water and coffee to go, and we are out the door by 6:50 

and in car drop off at 7:15



While we wait for the bell to ring at 7:30, I go over my to do list and check emails

and by 8 we are home and he is set up with cartoons

the dog gets fed and let out

and I pull chicken out to thaw for dinner! 


I head upstairs to change into clothes for the day since I wear my sweats to drop char off 
and make my bed 

Then it is back downstairs to unload the dishwasher and set out the dishes that need to dry during the day


I make myself some toast for breakfast 

and fill my water cup up again 

34 weeks pregnant and a quick snap of my outfit 

before we are out the door at 9 to be at my doctors appointment at 9:30 

Back home and finally able to get laundry started 

and a snack for mom and Riley snacks on the chips too, just not the refried beans 

and I also make myself some fruit because I'm still hungry #pregnantlife 

at 12:30 Riley gets lunch, bologna and cheese which is what he requests everyday! 

and then we are out the door again at 1:30 to head to pick Char up


One Pre-K student picked up and in the car at 2:30 to head home 

After school snack and drinks 

and I make myself an actual lunch since refried beans and chips were only a snack 

and I fold a load of baby blankets while the kids have quiet time! 
From 3 until 5:30 we have quiet time. Char bear naps at school but Riley has given up naps all together so we have some time to be quiet after school. Some days that is playing with toys, so its not all quiet, or watching a movie but it is always designated time to just chill and relax! 

 At 6:00 dinner is ready to go into the oven, and I have already cooked up the chicken and sliced it and put everything together so it will only take 30 minutes to heat up

so at 6:30 we have dinner and the dog comes in for the night.

I have a cup of tea

and at 7:15 the kiddos are getting ready for a bath and talking to Mimi over FaceTime!

At 8:00 on the dot, the kids are in bed 

and I switch some laundry over to the dryer before heading down to clean up dinner and wipe down the counters with my favorite All-Purpose cleaner 

at 8:30 I head back upstairs with another glass of water 

and fold the clothes from the dryer! 

I set alarms for the next day 

do some work on my computer 

and finally lay down at right before 10 pm. 


So there you have it! 
This is what our day looks like but just with an added doctor's appointment in the mix! 
Some days there are naps since I'm in hibernation mode over here haha and some days I can't actually fall asleep until midnight, because pregnancy insomnia is definitely real with this baby, but this is our typical day in a life right now. 
With a new little one set to arrive in the next few weeks life will change again, so stay tuned for an updated day in the life probably around March :) once the sleep deprivation and routine sets in and gets normal! Life with these littles is fun, but exhausting and I can't wait to see just how much fun we have this year! 


Here are all my other day in the life posts if you haven't seen them!

Show and Tell Tuesday! House Tour 2016

Happy Tuesday Everyone! Today I am linking up with Andrea for Show and Tell Tuesday! Today it is House Tour! I have always loved these posts, but have never participated in one because of the fact that we were in a two bedroom apartment, which was tiny for our family of four. This past April we bought our home and moved in and three months later we are finally here at this post and I am so excited to join along and invite you all into our home! It is still a work in progress and none of the walls have been re-painted but I am loving all the grey tones for now, it keeps the home neutral and cool until I feel like spicing things up! Come on in!  We are still decorated from Fourth of July, but here is the front entrance.  When you walk into our home this is the first thing you see. There is a hallway to the left of the staircase, and to the right is the dining room. This is our formal dining room! I need to do an updated tour of this room but for now I b...

Friday Favorites!

Happy Friday Ya'll!  I am so glad it is Friday! It has been. rough week for this momma, the kiddos have been loud and crazy but have been so good this week but everything else is just super crazy haha!  Today I am linking up for Friday Favorites with Narci , Andrea and Erika !  So here are some random favorites that happened this week! Cuddles with this sweet boy have been a favorite this week! I have been having on and off contractions and lots of pain so I have been bed ridden for a good portion of the week and this little has hung out with me and watched cartoons! Cuddles are definitely a favorite!    Trying to let this boy in the house more and more since its been chilly outside.  While the training process has been rough, he has started to snooze in the afternoons and those are definitely a favorite!  Breakfast conversations with these two are a favorite from this week! It is always non-stop with these t...

2019 Year In Review: Part 3

Hello!  It is such a hard time in the world right now. It has been a couple months since I last wrote, life has been busy, but while everyone is social distancing, staying home, and doing our part to get rid of this nasty virus I wanted to post some memories of last year to remember. October-December of 2019 were packed full of activities, and just going through the pictures is exhausting, so I have no idea how I even kept up! Grab a drink, and cozy up and I hope you enjoy! October  October started out with birthday naps. All three kiddos are in the same room, and I was laying on the bed with Skyler and we all napped and was just what this momma needed for her birthday!  Hubby brought me the most beautiful flowers for my day and we got booed, by a mystery neighbor Naps were had, especially in mommy's arms  and all of the kindergarten crafts occurred. We painted a pumpkin after her favorite book character Ferdinand.  Quick f...
