Tag: Week in the Life

Wow the week is nearly over and so is October! Really enjoying Week in the Life this year – even if I keep forgetting to take photos but (thanks to my notes in Evernote) I have heaps to journal.

• Miss A awake for a feed at 6:30
• Alarm went off at 7:30, Miss K up a few minutes later.
• Shower then breakfast of homemade yoghurt and berry coulis with some fruit.
• J dropped Miss K to daycare while I put Miss A down for her morning nap.
• Cuppa and update the diary for the next 2 weeks.
• Started on my Christmas planning with help from Organised Christmas. would prefer to be using the Organised Housewife Christmas planner (lost my 2013 version when my EHD crashed) cause it’s Australian. Deciding if I’ll reprint the 2013 Elf Planner (link is to the 2014 version).
• Morning tea – cuppa & a lamington.
• Checked the results for our local council election. Can’t believe how many people don’t vote. Happy with the result for mayor and surprised at the councillors who are out.
• Folding the mountain of kids clothes
• Lunch – toasted sang & Irn-Bru & a lamington
• A quick selfie while feeding Miss A
• Picked up Miss K from daycare and headed to town.
• Appointment with ENT for Miss K. Yay no grommets and ears & tonsils are clear.
• Called into Officeworks to grab something for work (& a little special something for Miss K for being so good at the ENT)
• Popped into Mum & Dad’s for a visit and ended up staying for tea – beef stir fry & rice. Miss A had her first swing and loved it
• Home and got the girls to bed.
• Relaxing with a bit of TV and surfing the net.

Another day. Another day of photos 😀 Hope you are enjoying a peek into our week.

• A rather long sleep in. Yeah I have a Tardis as my phone lock screen.
• Today’s weather – still cold but no rain
• Morning cuppa, breakfast (fruit) and a quick shower
• Off to Possums. Miss K had fun while I got to listen to a talk about the importance of reading to kids (& got some free books)
• Happy mail for Miss K
• Miss K got a haircut ad we did some shopping
• Home for a late lunch – sandwiches & a potato pie for J and lamington fingers for afters
• Our gorgeous girls enjoying a cuddle then a massive explosion. So a bath and change of clothes for Miss A
• Tried twice to get Miss A to have a nap but no success.
• Tea – Lemon and ginger chicken and rice
• Finally got Miss A to sleep. Swaddled which she normally hates. Going through a wonder week?
• Made some yoghurt and berry coulis in the Thermomix
• Packed lunch for Miss K – a banana, some homemade yoghurt, vegie sticks, fruit and a ham, carrot and Philly cheese sandwich
• Sorted photos from today and watched the start of season 2 of Sleepy Hollow

Today was a fairly quiet day as Miss K was at day care. That was until she came home. :/ She gets so hyped and tired and then misbehaves sigh such is the life with kids hey? Anywho onto our day

• Awake at 7:30 with the alarm, hit snooze and grabbed another 10 minutes. Can’t remember what time I brought Miss A to bed for a feed.
• Checked the weather – looks like cold and rainy.
• Finish packing Miss K her lunch – mini egg & bacon pies, some vegie sticks, strawberries, yoghurt a banana and a tuna snack.
• Breakfast – coco pops, milk & sliced banana and a hit chocolate
• Check emails & social media
• Bin day
• So it’s spring and we have to light the fire, so wrong
• Plan of attack for today while Miss K is at day care & Miss A naps – clean the kitchen
• A late shower then chuck on a load of washing then lunch – chicken , cheese & mayo sandwich
• Found Miss K’s blue baby book while cleaning the kitchen. I’d put it “somewhere safe” (next to the microwave)
• Tea – Thermomix sausage casserole with wedges. Put dishes in dishwasher.
• A quick sunset snap, been awhile
• Skype with my mum then girls to bed. three times. then Miss K woke Miss A :/
• Check emails, another load of washing.
• finished watching S1 of Sleepy Hollow
• Still awake at 11pm with Miss A :/

Warning – this post is photo heavy.

Yet again I’m undertaking a new project. This is one I’ve tried to do in previous years but, honestly lost interest after the first day or two. BUT since the birth of Miss A I really want to document our every day and special moments.
Soooo I’m doing Ali Edwards Week in the Life (if you don’t know what Week in the Life is go here and read about it – we’ll wait). I gave this a go last year but did one day and then gave up. This year I am determined not to give up. I’m planning on blogging photos and stories here at the end of each day – helping me be a bit more accountable. Hopefully. Then at the end of the week I’ll create my pages and share them here. I’m not going to try and create my pages each day again. Think that’s one of the reasons I gave up last year.

Anywho, on to today’s photos and stories ……

Today we….

• woke at 4am to give Miss A a feed
