Mom Life

A Day In The Life of MommyWeek

I had been planning to share this post for quite some time now. I wanted to give my readers a peek into what my day usually looks like. I like to call my life a type of organized chaos. Even though sometimes it’s not really so organized. Are you ready?!

6:30am – I’m up before my children to spend time with myself. I use this time to gather my bearings, plan out the day, pray, and reflect. It’s my quiet time of peace. If I don’t have it, I don’t have a smooth day.
7:30am – I’m scrolling Instagram, Facebook, & Twitter. I take a quick peek before the day really gets going.
8:00am – Picking up things around the house before the kids wake up.
8:30am – My kids are awake and it’s time to make breakfast. Sometimes it’s simple like oatmeal and berries, other days it’s Challah French Toast. Every morning my husband and I spend an hour or so having breakfast together and coffee without the kids. We are talking about the day, life plans, work, etc. The kids eat breakfast together.
9:15am – Washing dishes. Not glamorous, but someone has to do it.
9:30am – Homeschool! My kids pull out their school books and it’s time for a few lessons.
10:00am – While the oldest kids are doing independent work, I slip in some social shares for blogging.
10:30am – I’m sending and returning emails and making phone calls.
11:00am – I drop a load of laundry in the washer. I normally do laundry 3-4 times a week.
11:15am – I’m looking over school work and helping as needed.
12:00pm – The kids are taking a break and having something for lunch. It’s nice to have an 8 year old that can make sandwiches for everyone.
12:30pm – I’m editing photos and creating new blog posts.
1:00pm – I’m headed out to the grocery store while the kids stay home with my husband who also works from home. He instructs homeschool Science and Math. I grocery shop once a week.

2:00pm – I’m back home putting away the groceries.
2:30pm – The kids play outside. Some days we head to a local playground.
3:00pm – While the kids are playing I’m responding to emails and am on social media.
4:00pm – Mandatory quiet time for the kids. They usually read books until dinner time.
4:15pm – My husband and I take a break from work and talk about the progression of the day.
5:00pm – I get dinner started. Some days it’s something simple like a casserole or sometimes it’s something more complex like etouffee.
6:30pm – We eat dinner together as a family.
7:30pm – More dish washing.
8:00pm – The kids bath time.
8:45pm – It’s time to play a game with the kids before bed. We play either the guessing game, the quiet game, or sock puppets. Sometimes we tell stories too. The kids make up their own tales.
9:00pm – The kids are in bed.
9:15pm – BabyCake is asking to come sleep in my bed.
9:30pm – I’m cleaning the house……again……..
10:00pm – I normally have some time to myself. I read a magazine, have some coffee. Yes I drink coffee at 10pm! Shower, do a facial, watch some reality trash online. (We don’t own a TV and haven’t had one in at least 6 years)
11:00pm – I do more blogging. Schedule a post for the next day, more social media. I take a peak at my calendar to check for deadlines and plans.
12:00am – It’s time for sleep!

Then I get up and do it all again the next day! This is typically what one of my Monday’s or Tuesday’s look like. This doesn’t include the homeschool field trips that we take, or blogging events that I go to. It also doesn’t include the time I take to prepare for the new classes I started over at AshleyMarshallSeward.com. Some nights I’m up until 2 or 3am if I have a deadline to meet. How do I do it all? I don’t know! The love for my family keeps me going. <3
