To be honest, my days are a hot mess. My days of organization and routine are sadly a distant memory. I swear I was a very planned person before I had kids and somehow in three years I’ve turned into this fly by the seat of my pants, procrastinator who somehow manages to get it done. Most days I call myself a robot. I don’t remember what I did but I did it and I got it done and my kids are bathed and asleep in their cozy beds and I got them there. What happened from point A to point B is usually hazy. That is the exciting part of owning your own business and being a mom. Sometimes you feel like superwoman, sometimes it looks like I slept in a dumpster and that’s ok! I’ve learned to appreciate all of the days.

I get so many questions about what a day in the life looks like around here and they are all over the place (if you couldn’t tell from that intro – ha!). Charlie is in daycare 4 days a week, Jack is in daycare 3 days a week. My days with the boys are dedicated to them and my days without them are dedicated to everything that I could possibly accomplish in 8 hours. Here is what a typical day looks like…

A Day in the Life with Liz
(seriously, could I get more creative) 😉

5:45am – Jack starts to wake up. I wish he would figure out how to sleep until 6:30 but it’s rare that he sleeps past 6am.

6/6:15am – get Jack out of bed, change his diaper and go downstairs to make him a bottle and myself a cup of coffee.

6:15/6:30am – Charlie usually hears us and wakes up around this time too! He will mosey downstairs at his leisure and Dave usually follows.

6:30-8am – watch the news, drink coffee, play with the boys and make breakfast. Right now the boys are really into waffles with peanut butter and Applegate chicken + maple breakfast sausages with some sort of fruit. They also always have a probiotic pouch mixed in water.

During this time I usually check in with Carolyn and see what the day/calendar looks like for work! But I try not to do much work with the boys around.

**On Tuesdays and Thursdays I leave our house at 6:30 to workout with my trainer from 7-8am.

8:15am – take boys to daycare.

8:30am – take a shower and get ready for the day.

**if boys are home, we usually go to the gym with them at 8am and they go to the kids club. They love it!

10am – finally sit down at my computer, check in with my manager and chat with Carolyn on Slack.

10:30am-12pm – emails, phone calls, send any new contracts to Dave for invoicing (he is helping me a little bit these days!), work on blog posts for the next couple days.

12pm – break for lunch! A few favorites include an antipasto chopped salad featured in this post, tapas plate with hummus, veggies, rice crackers, salami, cottage cheese, etc. or turkey lettuce wraps!

1pm – take photos for the blog if needed, more emails, more writing posts.

3-4:30pm – run any necessary errands for the day or I usually book any necessary appointments during these hours.

4:45-5pm – pick up boys from daycare! Dave usually gets home around this time if he is in the city!

5:30pm – home and make dinner for Charlie and Jack. This could be anything from hotdogs, chicken nuggets, tacos, salmon – I usually try to cook a mini version of what Dave and I plan to eat. I would love to eat more often as a family but the boys are always starving by the time they get home from daycare that I end up cooking for them a little earlier.

6pm – we all hang out in the family room, play games and chat and hang!

6:30pm – Jack takes a bath and gets into pajamas while Charlie keeps playing. I usually get in my pajamas and take off my makeup/do my skincare routine here too.

6:45pm – Jack gets his milk and is in bed by 7pm. I have usually started dinner for Dave and I at this point depending on who gives Jack a bath.

7:15pm – Dave and I eat dinner and Charlie usually sits with us!

7:45pm – Charlie takes a bath and gets ready for bed! We read him 2 books, tell him a story, sing him 2 songs and rock him for 2 minutes and then put him in bed. Haha, that’s what I do I’m not sure what Dave’s routine is with him exactly. It can be 20 minutes or 45 minutes depending on how chatty Charlie is that day 😉

**Dave and I usually switch off putting boys to bed. Some nights I have more work to do at night so Dave will put Charlie to bed since he can take awhile – ha.

8:15pm – Charlie is in bed and Dave and I decide if we are awake enough to watch a show or a movie. I usually open my lap top and finish tomorrow’s post, check social media and catch up on emails before I can call it a day!

9:30-10pm – time for bed for us! Goodnight!

Somedays are not this work focused at all, somedays I never get out of my pajamas and I’m knee deep in laundry all day. Somedays I workout and don’t shower until 4pm and somedays we shoot at 9am and I look like a functioning human all day! And I feel great! Haha. It’s all about balance and that’s exactly what I try to achieve every day.

On the days that I’m with the boys, Jack naps from 9-10:30/11am so we are usually home for a bit in the mornings and then we venture out to the library, run errands, grab lunch or just hang with the kids! Then both Charlie and Jack nap around 1:30-3:30/4pm. Then we get ready to cook dinner and relax at home. My days with the kids are much more relaxed and slower paced.

One things for sure, I try to always be as comfortable as possible! I shared these mom jeans on my IG Stories on Sunday (saved under my style highlights!) and you guys loved them just as much as I do! They are so so comfortable and cute and an awesome price. I’m wearing a 27 (my usual size) in the SHORT – I’m 5’4″ for reference. I’ve been living in them around the house! Paired with the coziest fleece sweatshirt with the cutest side snaps. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – Abercrombie is making a comeback and I’m here for it!! Shop a few more favorites from their new arrivals below:

*I get a ton of questions about Abercrombie’s sizing and I’ve found that overall they are very true to size! I assumed in the beginning that I needed to size up but I typically wear a small in tops and a 4/27 in bottoms!
