I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I love this project. I love capturing the “mundane” and the day to day because it’s what makes up life! It’s so easy to forget tiny details and moments and what felt like a priority in different seasons. Doing life with Kevin, our family, my job – it all looks pretty different different than it did the last time I participated in Week in the Life. It’s so sweet to be able to use these photos and words to reminisce on the sweetness of this life and the growth that has happened year after year.
7:23 AM // These dogs are the first ones up most mornings, ready for food yet here they are not even a half an hour later snuggled back into OUR bed. As a side note, we got new side tables (which replaced ones I made for us right before we got married) and I am OBSESSED with how clean they look. The other ones had an opening, but no drawer so you could see all of our stuff at all times. I think this is so much sleeker and minimal looking.
7:38 AM // Cheerios for the boy as part of his breakfast. Notice who got out of bed when the cheerios came out.
8:00 AM // Got his shoes on and now it’s my turn. We talk, sing, and make faces – mornings are the absolute sweetest.
8:22 AM // THE SKY.
4:19 PM // Took zero pictures during the workday today. Snapped this one as I was getting in my car – all the necessities (computer, notebook, and planner) all in one picture. Also I’m a huge fan of my Portland Leather Goods Medium Crossbody. This was a late night purchase while I was feeding Callahan almost a year ago (there were lots of those…whoops) and it’s easily one of the best bags I’ve ever had.
4:50 PM // I got home right before Kevin left to pick up Callahan. I told him I was going to start on leaves in the backyard before it rains tonight so he started leaf blowing while I was bagging. We make a pretty good team. I definitely didn’t think about how I’d do chores like this with a baby – but tag teaming it is just one way we make it work!
5:52 PM // Tacos for dinner! This is Callahan’s plate – don’t worry, he didn’t get any full blue berries.
7:01 PM // It was a rough nap day, so we started the bedtime routine a little earlier than normal. We read a few books including this one – Honey Bear, I’m Grateful for You by Slumberkins. He has the lovey to go with it and it’s all about gratitude, which is just precious.
8:20 PM // After bedtime, we wrapped up all the leaves from the backyard – there were 15 bags total. Which means I’m pooped and it’s time for a shower, hanging on the couch, and bed.
Hope you had a great Thursday!
