a day in the life













I start every.single.day with a cup of coffee. If I don't... never mind... my days literally never start without a cup of coffee. And Alea? She always starts her day out with a bowl of oatmeal. We're creatures of habit, what can I say?

I'll spare you and leave out the pictures of Alea throwing a fit over dinner and refusing to eat a single bite, us holding her hostage at the dinner table in attempts to try & get her to take a bite, and the craziness that ensues during bedtime. Other than that, our days run pretty smooth. Alea plays so well & lets me get some things done (most days) and on the day she doesn't, I just make up what I couldn't get done with quiet time. Yes, you read that right. My 2 and a half year old has given up on naps. It should really be illegal, but more on that at a later date.

And just so you don't think we're crazy or anything, we most certainly do not go on a Target run everyday. This day, however, we just happened to make a trip. Everyone loves a little Target in their life, right? Of course. Now if only I could figure out how to obtain a disposable income so I could make a Target run everyday. Amiright?

If I took a peek into a day in your life, what would I see?

  3. Cute post! I've wanted to do the same thing, 'a day in the life through pictures'. However, I haven't brought myself to do it yet. My mornings can be very hectic, but you've given me new inspiration.

    Can I ask you what photo editing program you used for these pictures? I like the paint stripe you have on them.

    One last thing, I like your new blog design. Very clean and easy to navigate. :)

  6. I used to like coffee and drink it on occassion, but over the past few months it has become an everyday thing! I think my day would look quite similiar besides for the fact my boys run around like houligans from 10-2 everyday! I guess that is when they get their spurt of energy.

  10. My life would be much better (albeit much poorer) if I had daily Target runs :)

  11. Your life looks a lot like mine! Ha, except my boy doesn't play well by himself AT ALL. Quiet time doesn't happen for us! Our naps are gone, too, but the saving grace is that he sleeps well at night. Though bedtime is still a riot. =)

  12. I LOVE TARGET. I am kind of glad that the two nearest ones are both 45 minutes away, because it keeps me from being broke, as I spend way too much there every time we DO GO. hahaha ;)

  13. I just got a keurig!!! So coffee is in my daily routine now too!! Before, I'd only drink it on the mornings my husband was home to make it ( hate our old stupid coffeemaker)! I wish we had Target, I cannot wait to step foot in one again! Though I often shop online! And dinner and bedtime are much the same for us, a crazy tantrum fest with our 2 year old!

  14. It's funny how while kids are growing up always tend to have tantrums about similar things. Like, food for instance. What is it about dinner time that makes it so much less appealing than breakfast and lunch?! When I asked my four year old this, her response was vegetables. Greeeeaaat. Right?
    Target is the best!

  15. Cute post and great pics. Seeing all of the different flavors of coffee makes me want to get a Keurig, even though I hardly ever drink coffee.

  16. This pretty much sums up my day too. Haha. I do not function without turning that Keurig on before anything else. I've also stopped the almost daily Target runs...it's totes helping my wallet.
    Funny how bed time seems to be a crazy wild thing around everyone's house with toddlers. We also do not take naps, and lets not even talk about quiet time. Yea right.

  17. Coffee in the morning is a must! Aren't target runs the best? Especially when they have clearance deals! Love seeing what your day looks like.
