I thrive on structure.
So, I've found a lovely morning routine for myself while the girls are in summer camp. I wake up around 6:30 and have a quiet house to myself for like 1.5 hours. I make coffee, put on my makeup while watching/listening to my shows on FB or YT. This usually takes like 20-30 minutes depending on if I want to straighten my hair or not.
I get out to the kitchen around 7:15 and get going with breakfast for the girls.
Bacon.
Fresh strawberries.
Grapes.
Frozen pancake, waffle, or bowl of cereal.
Go wake up the girls around 7:45am.

| Leftovers from breakfast |
Pack lunches.
Feed the dogs.
Do some general picking up.
Vacuum for the first or second time.
By now, it's around 8:10am.
I then log on to my computer to do a little work while the girls eat and watch their morning shows (#sorrynotsorry #itssummervacation)
They need to get dressed around 8:45 (35 minutes is MORE THAN ENOUGH TIME TO EAT).

Then they need to brush hair, brush teeth, ice packets in lunch boxes, bathroom, sunscreen, feed the piggies, and off we go.

| Success! |

| I made it home in time for my 10am meeting. |
I had a couple of meetings and deadlines for this morning, so I got settled and got to work.
I had lunch plans with an old client of mine, but she ended up canceling at the last minute. She had a good reason, so no big deal.
I was already dressed though...so what to do?
I checked in with Steve and asked what he was doing for lunch. We had been meaning to hit up this chicken sandwich place, so we decided to meet there.

I love getting to grab lunch with Steve. We used to do it more often when I worked in an office since it was much closer. Now that I WFH full-time, it's not as convenient.
Now it was time to get back to work. I had a video shoot for a client and it was only about a 10-minute drive from where we had lunch.
And the bonus is that this is all in the town I grew up in. So it's all very nostalgic when I drive down that main drive.
I even stopped and got an iced coffee at the Dunkin I used to go to DAILY.
Ah, memories.
Ok, back to work.

I spent a few hours at the shoot before needing to head out. Steve left his job to go pick up the girls from camp for me. Then we met at his work to do the hand off.
The girls and I got back home around 5pm. It felt so weird to be out of the house for most of the day and get back at dinner time - seems so normal.
I got them settled with dinner and then got to relax a bit myself.
 |
| Obsessed with my shakes lately. My dinner. |
 |
| A little screen time to wind down the day |
 |
| Can't forget a snack, too! |
 |
| Omg my turn to sit down! |
Steve works until 8pm, but he was also helping a friend out after work. So I knew he'd be home late.
I went to bed shortly after putting the girls to bed around 8:45pm.
I failed to capture any pictures after finally sitting down and relaxing.
It was a very busy day. A much busier day than normal. It seems as though the days are just flying by.
Trying to soak it all in.
