A day in the life

I love hearing about the way people spend their time. I am all about scheduling and planning things. I like to know how my day will go before it has even begun.

It starts off at 7:30. I like to wake up a little before my daughter does. I stay in bed just taking my time to wake up until around 8 when my daughter is up. We immediately go downstairs to have breakfast. My daughter loves eating peanut butter and jelly toast and yogurt. I normally have oatmeal.

I then have my coffee and we relax for a bit together. Around 9 is when I begin my workouts. While I workout, my daughter sits quietly and colors.

Once I finish working out, I go get us ready for the day. I will do my makeup, hair and get dressed. I do my daughter’s hair and get her dressed as well. While I am doing all of this, I normally have my Bible app reading to us a chapter or two. This ends up taking us to around 10:30. After that, we go play outside for bit. My daughter loves her swingset that I bought her. We normally play with our cat while we are outside as well.

After all of that we get ready for lunch. If my daughter had it her way, we’d have peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunch everyday. I try to get her to eat something other than a sandwich each day. I normally eat leftovers myself. Lunch takes us up until 12:30. This is when my daughter has her nap time/ quiet time. I just let her relax for a bit. If she takes a nap, she takes a nap. During her nap time, I either work on a blog or work on engaging on my Instagram. Her naps normally end around 3. When she’s done with those, we go downstairs and I start cleaning up the house. I normally let her play with playdoh or do a puzzle at this time. I just have her do something that will keep her in one place. I end up finishing doing the dishes and the cleaning the rest of the stuff around 4:30. That’s when we get ready to wait for my boyfriend to come home since he gets home around five. We normally sit on the porch when we wait for him since it is shaded.

We talk about his day together and tell him the excitement we had. We let him relax after his day of work until we start getting hungry. We start cooking around 5:30 and have dinner around six most nights. Some nights my boyfriend cooks and other nights I do. After dinner, we normally read the Bible together as a family. Around seven my boyfriend and daughter love to go play drums together. They each have their own set and love drumming.

At 7:30 we start our night time routine. We do bath time, brush teeth and hair, lotion, and pajamas.

Something I love that we do for bedtime is we talk about our favorite part of the day. It is so much fun hearing what my daughter loved doing. My daughter is in her bed by 8. This is finally my time to relax and do what I want. I normally just want to sit on the couch with my boyfriend. I love just watching tv together and hanging out. We just goof off together until around ten. At ten is when I take my shower. That normally takes me half an hour. After that, I go lay in bed and talk way too much to my boyfriend about whatever is on my mind. We have so much together just talking and giggling. I normally start to fall asleep by 11.

This is just how my day to day life is. Some days we go to the library or go for a walk. Some days we play in the pool. Each day is a little different. This is just a general rundown. What are your days like?
