day in life {photo an hour}

6:00am

I’ve been awake long enough to have coffee ready, hubby’s breakfast and lunch packed and my breakfast of oatmeal beginning to cook on the stove.  6am is typically when I kiss Jacob goodbye and slowly start my morning.

7:00am

Getting close to finishing a sewing project – can’t really show much more than you see below since it’s a christmas gift and I don’t want to spoil the surprise.  I’ve been really enjoying my quiet sewing time in the mornings before Hunter wakes.

8:00am

Hunter and I are about to head downstairs – breakfast is finished and now we’ll play while I do a bit of laundry, picking up and making the bed.  Not much really gets accomplished, since I’m also getting ready to leave the house.  And clearly I’m also unshowered.  Hot.

9:00am

Arrive at the gym to sub a total body conditioning class.

10:15am

Can’t really take a picture while I’m actually teaching, so here’s one from right after.  Hunter always uses the potty before we leave the kids club and I change him from a diaper into underwear.  He loves flushing the toilet over and over again.  Little potties are so cute.

11:00am

Hunter happily plays with puzzles while I consign some clothes.  I have been all about clearing out the clutter and unused items lately, so I had a couple bags ready to be taken away.  We spend about 20 minutes there.

12:00pm

Lunch prep is underway.  Salad rolls for me, leftover enchiladas and steamed carrots for Hunter.  He is not a big fan of the sticky rice paper wrappers.  I had the carrots and cucumber pre-cut so assembly was a breeze.

And although it’s a bit later, just had to share the final product: shrimp, avocado, carrot, cucumber and green onion salad rolls with sweet chili sauce.  Peanut sauce is always better, but sweet chili was faster.

1:00pm

Time for Hunter to go down for a nap.  The blur are his legs happily kicking away.

2:00pm

I’m finally showered and sitting down at the computer for a bit.  Wrote this post and sipped on a decaf chia tea with milk… after eating some dark chocolate.

3:00pm

Hunter’s awake!  He waited down there a few extra minutes while I finished my snack (peanut butter on a toasted whole wheat bagel), but it clearly didn’t bother him.  He was jumping and laughing like crazy.  Love when he wakes up happy.

4:00pm

Some extra cuddles and playing on the couch before I leave to teach again.  Jacob’s home early that day so he gets to watch Hunter.  So fun for both of them.

5:15pm

Post ball class picture.  Crazy hair included.

6:00pm

Just sitting down for dinner.  Super easy meal that night, which is a must when I teach in the evening.  Brussel sprouts, our favorite beef breakfast sausage and freshly baked multi-grain bread.

7:00pm

Not normal in the evening, but Hunter wanted a banana so we shared one.  He wanted all of it for himself though.

8:00pm

Kid is down for the night and we’re relaxing on the couch.  Tuesday one of our favorite shows is on – Brooklyn 99 at 8:30pm (not the one pictured below).  Feet are up.  PJs are on.  Feeling tired and ready to do nothing.

9:00pm

I ended up making some progress on Hunter’s beanie – it’s so close to being done!  I watched about 10 minutes more of TV before heading downstairs to bed.

10:01pm

In bed and turning the phone off.  Did some blog reading and instagram viewing before needing to shut my eyes.  I can’t really make it much past 10pm.
