A Day In the Life {4.16. 25}

This quote just spoke to me. I want to love my life and if the answer is this simple then it's worth a shot. 

On this day, I set my alarm for 6am, but was an awaken at 5:15 by Kitty so I decided just to get up. 

I spent my quiet time reading through my favorite blogs, researching cruises and made a list go things to do today while listening to music. I was inspired to listen to French music by my favorite blogger Mix & Match Mamma so I asked Alexa to play "French music" and discovered a delightful mix!

At about 6:30, I went back to my room, made my bed and got dressed in my workout clothes. My favorite tank and leggings are from Beyond Yoga. Super soft!

And made the bed. Making the bed is one of the things I try to do everyday. 

Then it was back downstairs to get Marky's breakfast ready. His favorite thing to eat right now is chocolate croissant. I get these from Trader Joe's. so easy and yet so fancy. I take it out of the freezer, leave it out overnight and pop to in the oven and bake for 12 minutes. He literally eats 2 of these almost every morning. 

 

I went and took short 30-minute walk around our new neighborhood and enjoyed the beautiful weather that we are having. I'm a big believer in taking advantage of the good weather while we have it. I've been told that Georgia weather is similar to Texas so I'm dreading the summer heat that is coming. I just LOVE how pretty our neighborhood is.

After school drop off, I went to Pure Barre for my barre workout. I don't love it as much as Bar Method, but I'm going to give it a little more time. Today was my 10th class so I got a new pair of socks! Excited to wear to my next class tomorrow!

We are going to re-do some front yard landscaping so I made a stop at the Home Depot and Lowe's to see what bushes and flowers I want to add to our flower beds. I found a few and I like, but I think I'm going to wait until next Spring to replace anything. I was also very tempted to start planting some tomatoes and a few herbs but I needed to wait and find a good spot for them first. We don't have much outdoor space at all which makes me a little sad.

The rest of the day was moving around the house doing little chores and making appointments until it was carline time. Mark does not get out of school until 4:15, but I head out at about 3:40 and sit in carline. With how nice it has been, I sit in my car with a cup of tea or a can of mineral water and listen to my audio book or read while I wait to pick him up.

He is starving when he gets home so we try to eat an early dinner or he has a pretty heavy snack if I can't get dinner quickly enough. But today, we went and got him Chick-fil-a because I forgot to defrost the ground beef and I had paella from Trader Joe's. 

After dinner, I finishes up a load of laundry, talked to my parents on the phone, and had some chill time before getting ready for bed. Lights out at 10 for me!
