It has been ages since I have done a ‘Day in the Life’ post! I thought it would be fun to pick a day and share it on here. These pictures were from this past Tuesday, May 4th. For the last 2.5 months or so, I have had Molly (the baby) home with me on Tuesdays and Thursdays. So we have slowly gotten ourselves into a pretty good routine each week. On MWF’s she goes to our little preschool from 9-1pm.
7:15am The whole family is waking up. We are not very organized. It is generally a mad dash to get everyone fed breakfast, dressed and lunches made before we walk out of the door.
8:10 am On this particular morning Matt was able to take Brody and Madelyn to school for me which is always a huge help. This varies day to day with his work schedule. Sometimes he can just get out the door with Brody for me because he has to be at school at 8:20 and the big girls don’t have to be there until 9.
8:30am Since Molly was home with me today (and she was still sleeping), I didn’t have to drive anywhere; so I went upstairs and started my workout! I usually try to workout in the workout room anywhere from 40min to 60min changing between the tread+, bike and a little floor work.
*I am working on a whole post for you guys about fitness, peloton equipment review, and diet here soon. In short, I have really spent the last 4 months focusing on my fitness and routine and it has felt SO good! It has been so helpful having one of my best friends as my workout buddy and makes working out more fun and helps hold us accountable! I highly recommend 🙂
10am After we workout, we love to try and go do a 3 mile walk while the weather has been so beautiful. So we put Molly in the stroller and went for our walk. This is her when we found a turtle on the sidewalk. Also notice that she rolled out of bed, watched a little bit of a show while we were working out and is in her pajamas still for our walk.
11:15am I was starving when we got home from our walk and made us some scrambled eggs. Matt and I had grilled steaks the night before and had leftovers, so I cut some up to put in my eggs. And then put a scoop full of cottage cheese for added protein. I honestly hate cottage cheese but love it in my eggs. Don’t knock it til you try it.
Molly LOVES avocado, so she had that with her eggs and then I had a little with mine plus some EBB seasoning on top! 
115 pm I take Molly with me to go run some errands. I needed to run to Pizzaz (our local gift shop) to grab a few gifts for Mother’s Day and some teacher gifts. She was my little sidekick and had so much fun shopping around the store.
230pm Time to pick up the big kids from school. They have been loving going to the park between school and our house lately, so we see some friends at pick up and ask if they want to meet us at the park for a little bit. So they play here for an hour or so while I visit with their Mom’s for a bit.
330pm Some of our friends from the park come over afterwards for a little bit so they can jump in the pool for an hour or so before dinnertime! So we sit outside and visit while the kids swim.
530pm I tell the kids to shower up, get in pajamas and play while I start dinner. I have just recently started back try Hello Fresh for 2 meals a week. I was just tired of meal planning and thought this could be a nice change up. So I made these Philly Beef melts and they were actually pretty taste and husband approved. He had his on the hoagie roll that was sent and then I made mine into a bowl over cauliflower rice! I actually loved it.
I keep it simple with cauli rice and just use these microwavable bags!
Beef, peppers, onions and pepper jack cheese with a mustardy sauce.
Mine over cauli rice
645pm I was feeling pretty pooped, so I laid on the couch for a minute and in no time, this one was right on top of me! 
8pm We brought all the kids up to bed at around 8 and read our books and did our prayers and said goodnight!!! This always feels like an hour long process! So whatever time we finished all that, I was ready for bed myself!! Matt and I crawled into bed and turned on Ted Lasso on Apple TV. We just started it this week and are liking it okay. I haven’t found anything I like lately the way I loved Yellowstone 🙂
Pretty boring day, but a pretty standard one!! You can find all of our Day in the life posts here which are fun to look back on. It has been 3 years since I have written my last one. That is sooo sad! But also go back in look at the one I did where I filmed a whole day on video! haha. Day in the Life VLOG
