A Day in the Life – July Style

A Day in the Life – July Style

On the Fourth of July, I realized it had been a while (a long while actually) since I completed a Day in the Life. While I don’t think our routine has changed all that much in the last few months, it’s always fun to peel back the curtain a bit and reveal what goes on inside our household. Of course, with the holiday, it was somewhat atypical….but still really fun to do.

I hope you enjoy!!!

In the morning, a 10k race happens at the end of our street.

L was a little unsure what to make of the runner in the middle of the road.

Then, a VERY simple breakfast of toast with butter. aka – nothing else in the house, aka – grocery shopping on the agenda today.

After breakfast, I had a quick conference call to chat with a lovely Accountability member.

Now, it was time for cleaning. My husband and I thoroughly cleaned our house.

While the kids watched some television. Or in my daughter’s case, the iPad in her room.

After several hours of cleaning, I decided to get a snack and take the kids to the park while my husband went to the grocery store.

My son picked out the spot for our picnic.

What’s a park visit without a turn at the swing?

If that wasn’t enough activity, it was now time for my afternoon walk. I loaded up my daughter in the stroller…

Success!

This next photo doesn’t really describe anything we did during our day. It’s a Just-Because photo. My daughter’s hair is just now starting to pony-tail-able.

It’s now about dinner time and my husband is getting things ready for the grill.

After dinner it was a little relaxation before…

FIREWORKS!!!

A Day in the Life

We let our kids stay up for the first time to watch the fireworks. Thankfully, we are able to see our city’s fireworks from our front lawn so my kids could be in pjs and we could easily take them to bed once they were finished. Man, were they wired though! They loved them.

This was my first time truly attempting fireworks. I’ll definitely have to try again next year!

So that was our day! What did you think! I’d love to hear from you and leave you some blog love back. Leave a comment below with your website so I can check out your Day in the Life, or most recent blog! 😉

January 2013 10 photos in 10 hours

photo book design, 10in10, everyday photo

I have decided to attempt another 10 photos in 10 hours once a month (second Saturday) each month for 2013. It love how it captures a day in our life. It also shows how the kids grow up and how events change throughout the year!

Last year, I featured a variety of layouts you could do for your photo book. Or you can create a separate book for only this project!

Here is what our January looked like! A lot of kids turning away from the light while they played – Ha!
