A Day in the Life + Gift Card GIVEAWAY!

by - February 20, 2016


  I haven't done a day in the life post in so long so I thought it would be fun to journal what a typical day is for us. I chose a weekend day since the weekdays are not as interesting since I work now. You can see what our lives are like from the kids waking up to dinner time and past bedtime! Make sure you enter the GIVEAWAY at the end!
Thank you to Publix Viva Italia for Sponsoring this post!
7:00AM
The kids are up. Diapers are changed and we head downstairs for breakfast. 
Then it is breakfast time. The girls usually eat waffles, fruit and milk. Ace will eat cereal.
8:00AM
Outside playtime! I love our backyard. We don't have a large yard but we have a good size patio and the kids have fun stuff to play with making it easier for them to be entertained out there for awhile. 
9:00AM
The kids came inside and played with some of the girls new toys. We did a joint party for them on Saturday. They are all really into pretend play. 
10:00AM
Snack and playtime upstairs. A change of scenery is a must. Branden was cleaning the floors so the kids and I hung out upstairs and did puzzles and other random stuff in their rooms. 
12:00PM
After picking up a RX it was lunch time! We all sit together at the table and eat together on weekends. It's nice for me since I don't get to do this during the week.
 12:45 PM
More playtime before naps. My sister came over so the kids played with her and my niece. 
1:00PM
Nap time for the girls and quiet time for Ace. Bran and I watched The Walking Dead while they napped. OMG, no spoilers but OMG!
3:30PM
Girls are up and then it's snack and TV time again for all three. After they finish their snacks they play some more. 
4:30PM 
Branden or myself will cook dinner. Sometimes it is both of us like tonight. We both kind of threw things in a pot to make some really delicious italian dish for the kids. I always use Hunts® Diced Tomatoes in our pasta dishes because it gives it some more substance. We also had a treat and I made Pillsbury crescent rolls. Another favorite.

5:00PM
Dinner & Family Time!
 Branden and I try to always eat dinner together as a family. We sit down together, pray, talk and eat dinner. I love hear what Ace's favorite part of the day is. The girls are still a bit too young to talk much during dinner but they still talk or sing. We also find that if we sit together as a family and eat we have less issues with the kids eating. Ace and Ashlyn usually are our picky ones so this has made it a lot better. This night everyone was happy to eat and devoured dinner. Italian food is a huge hit with them.

 6:00PM 
More Playtime for the kids
  7:00PM 
Bath Time
The kids all take a bath at the same time, which makes life so much easier on me. I don't know how much longer this will last since Ace is getting older but as of now they all love playing in the bathtub together. 
  
7:30PM
Girls' Bedtime
We have the same bedtime routine every night. We go into the girls room after baths, get PJ's on and the kids play for a little bit. After they have played we read a couple of books of their choice then we sing songs, their favorite is The Wheels on the Bus. After that we read Goodnight Moon quietly and then the girls are off to bed. 
8:00-8:30PM
Ace's Bedtime
Ace's bedtime varies between 8/8:30. It really just depends on how tired he is. If he has had a busy day it's earlier. If he isn't super tired we let him come hang out with us downstairs for a bit then we put him to bed. His routine is we read books then snuggle in bed till he falls asleep. He was having trouble going to sleep because he was really scared so we now like to lay with him till he falls asleep. He usually falls asleep within 10 minutes and it's a nice time for us to just have a little one on one time with him. I really cherish this time with him. 
8:30PM
Mommy and Daddy time.
If Branden isn't working or isn't working on school stuff this is when we get to just hang out together. We have our shows we like to watch so we cuddle on the couch (totally cheesy I know but we do) and I usually fall asleep on him at some point, ha! 
9:30/10PM
BED! 
I am usually passed out at this point. Branden not so much.
