Tuesday is in the books and I’m excited to share these words and photos. It’s fun to do this for an entire week because once I get in the routine of taking the photos, I start to get more creative. Today I included more photos of myself than yesterday. It’s a reminder that there is always more to capture, ya just gotta look for different angles and lenses to see your life through.
6:20 AM // Ope, the end of daylight savings strikes again. He ended up falling back asleep for a bit, but I was already up.
6:55 AM // Quick selfie in the mirror with Kevin after getting ready for the day. I am thankful every single day to get to do life with him.
On a completely separate note, I definitely take for granted that I can wear casual clothes to work. This is my current favorite zip up jacket from Old Navy, and reminds me of the Scuba jacket from Lululemon.
7:14 AM // A little morning meal prep for me and Callahan. Another salad for me and some chicken, pasta and carrots for him.
7:21 AM // Part of our regular rhythms around here include washing the dishes every night and unloading in the morning. It’s been a game changer on keeping our inventory of kid cups and containers to a minimum even with all the meal prep we’re doing.
7:50 AM // The only place the dogs stand in the mornings. *eyeroll*
8:10 AM // Snapped a quick photo of myself after dropping Callahan off at daycare. He freaking loves that place and I love my job, but most mornings feel bittersweet.
8:29 AM // ELECTION DAY! Stopped by my polling place on my way in to the office. Since I’ve been old enough to vote, I’ve never had to wait in line for longer than ten minutes and today was no exception. Walked right up, got my ballot, filled it out, submitted it and got my sticker.
12:35 PM // Another salad with rotisserie chicken. I love how easy (and tasty!) this meal is.
2:18 PM // Working away. I can’t share a lot of the day-to-day, so here’s a photo of me doin’ my thing. Huge fan of to-do lists and all the things to keep me on track.
5:37 PM // Kevin had to work a little later than normal, so I picked Callahan up from daycare. I started making dinner so we pulled his highchair into the kitchen. He colored a picture, played with a spatula, and watched as I gave him a play-by-play on how to make a chicken pot pie. It was my first time making it (and without a recipe) so I wasn’t even sure if I was giving him the right instructions.
6:14 PM // Praise! Turned out great and the whole family loved it. Callahan added a few blue berries (those and raspberries are his faves right now) and I added a spiced cranberry sprite. One of the best holiday/limited edition treats.
7:05 PM // Dancing, running, throwing balls. We don’t get a lot of play time in the evenings so we make the most of it by moving non-stop.
8:01 PM // Working on a Christmas project tonight that required sanding and staining. The color looks fine here, but I’m not as keen on it in person. We’ll see how it dries and I’ll decide if I want to change the color to something different later this week. I chatted with my mom right after this to catch up on the day and then started watching election coverage (I secretly kind of love it).
Thanks for following along! See ya back here tomorrow for another installment.
