Monday's Week in the Life
















I know I am a little behind on posting about my project, but I have really been trying to focus on it while still running the house and making it to all the kids activities. Whew, that can be super exhausting.





Ok, so Monday I was super excited to get started and was totally on the ball. I recorded everything I did and the time that I did it. That was a lot of recording, but interesting to see just how much I could cram into one day :) One of my favorite quotes from Monday was when Hunter and I went into his room to turn on his TV he looked at me and said " My Hunter room is a mess!" LOL! Which translates into "Clean my Hunter room Mom." Before 10am I had finished paking lunches, gor Hunter breakfast and changed, said goodbye to Mad and Jack, fed and changed Finn, watched Desperate Housewives while he ate, did a load of laundry, cleaned the kitchen, gave Finn a bath, took Finn's 16 week photos, cleaned out my container cupboard and laid Finn back down for a morning nap. It was after looking at this that I really realized, that Moms, stay at home or working, are really able to accomplish many tasks in a short amount of time and rarely, if ever do we get recognition. Yet, somehow, we wake up the next day and do it all again.





I have a feeling this is going to be a very eye opening project and I really encourage all of my friends and family to do it. Even if you only do one day and even if you aren't a scrapbooker! I am so glad that I follow Ali Edwards blog and was finally motivated to do this for myself and family! How fun it is going to be to look back one day and see what we did :)

Week in the Life

Whew, I have been wanting to do this project from Ali Edward's Blog for so long, but wow it is a lot of work. Writing things down so I can journal tonight, taking photos of everything...I love my photos though :) I just think this is an awesome idea that the kids and John, can someday look back on and see that Mom really doesn't just sit around all day. Not that I really believe they think this, but I am sure they do wonder what it is that goes on here all day while they are working and at school. I cannot wait to share my project with everyone here as well. Fun! I think it is good for us Moms to take the time to see how hard we do work and to see just how much we can really jam into one day. As I have done this today I realized that I haven't even had the chance to really play with Hunter and Finn. So tomorrow I am going to make a conscientious effort to really spend some time with them and maybe get outside with them, something :) The cleaning can wait and I can be in the moment, before these moments are gone. Check back in to see where I am in the project and if I have been able to keep it going ;)
