12.6.12

A day in the life of a SAHM.


6.45am Harper wakes up and starts yelling out, I'm feeding Charlie in bed, I finish the feed and we all get up.
I heat a bottle for Harper & make a large coffee, Then change Charlie's nappy.

7.15am I put the TV on, it's the best way to get Harper to stay still long enough to drink the bottle. I drink my coffee and check emails on my phone, while Charlie has playtime.

7.30am I turn the TV off and put on music. I change Harper's nappy, then Harper and I sit on the floor with Charlie, talking to her and doing tummy-time.

8.00am Charlie starts to show tired signs, I pick her up and we head for the cot, where I put her into a grow-bag and place her in the cot, she has a dummy and white-noise, I sing her a song and leave. I go in and out if she spits out the dummy, or gets upset. If I catch her tired signs early enough, it only takes about ten minuets before she's asleep.

8.20am I have a super quick shower, while Harper plays in the washing basket. I quickly grab some clothes out of the giant pile of washing and get dressed. Today I remember deodorant, but things like make up and hair seem to be a luxury I no longer have time for.


8.45am I make Harper breakfast, I try to keep him quite as he yells and tries to wake up Charlie, Charlie wakes up, I quickly clean Harper from breakfast then I get her up and feed her.  While feeding her I consider abandoning this post, I wonder how I will possible find time to write what we are doing and take photos, all day.

9.10am I grab some breakfast while Charlie has floor time and Harper plays with his hotrods.

This is a photo heavy post, you can keep reading about our day below.
