Hi everyone. Wow. It’s been quite awhile since I’ve posted. Sorry about that. I guess life is just back to normal so I don’t have much to say. HA! So, I thought I would just post about my normal day!
I participate in a project with Ali Edwards and community called, Day in the Life. Read about it more here: https://aliedwards.com/projects/day-in-the-life And then join in with me next time! Or just do it all on your own on a random day. I seriously love this project. If you go check out my instagram page, you can see my current Day in the Life album in the stories (#ditl album).
I used a combination of the big camera (Canon Mark IV with the 35L lens) and my iPhone 7plus, Zach also took some photos with his iPhone X. Some of my pictures are blurry, and that’s ok. For me, it’s about the moment, not a technically perfect photo.
Yesterdays Day in the Life focused on gratitude. I opted to still have a time/schedule focus with sprinkles of gratitudes mixed in throughout the day.
5:10am // Zach wakes up to his alarm to head to the garage to workout. He’s very disciplined! He probably averages 4-6 workouts a week. What a lucky girl I am. 😉
6:29am // Zach is done working out and getting ready to head into work. He normally leaves for work a little before 7 now-a-days so he can be home earlier and we can have more family time. It’s nice to have a semi-flexible schedule. I, of course, am still in bed. Not much of a morning person. But, it’s time to start moving. Tuesday mornings, Holden has intramural sports practice before school. He has to leave around 7. He’s normally a morning person, but he’s a tired guy today.
8:32am // All the boys are off to school / work. Today’s my day off. Plans to crockpot dinner, go to a Homes of Living Hope meeting, lunch with a friend and hopefully get a workout in today.
Taking this photo of Coda I’m reminded of what a good looking and sweet kid he is. He’s growing up so fast. Tomorrow he turns 14. We’re definitely in the midst of hormonal teenager middle-school craziness but this morning I got a glimpse into the mature, kind, happy guy he is. I’m thankful to be able to be a witness to how God will use this guy in this world. He’s going to do big things one day. His heart is so big.
9:13am // Crockpot dinner. We started using this service, Plate Joy (get $20 off Plate Joy if you use this link). and so far so good. Menu planning always is our downfall. All the recipes we’ve tried so far have been great. The app is awesome and easy to use and I love the way it gives you an easy to use shopping list. After I got dinner going, I whipped up a green smoothie bowl to take with me to the meeting. After the meeting I had to run to the grocery store to get some ingredients for Coda’s request of a Lemon Rosemary Olive Oil birthday cake. I guess that’s what you get when you watch Food Networks Kids Baking Challenge. Thanks Duff.
Goodnight. And thank you @aliedwards for another great day of documenting. A wonderful reminder to live life full of gratitude. Looking forward to adding this to my #ditl album soon.
Love & Light.
