My friend, Olivia, did a “Day in the Life” post hour-by-hour recently. I loved her post and wanted to do it for myself. I love reading those “Day in the Life” posts, but I have such a hard time remembering to document my day. I did the best I could! I must tell you that we’re living in our new house, but it’s a mess! Like I have hours to spend unpacking, but I don’t want this to be the summer we shut down to move so it’s happening as I fit it in. Needless to say, you might see a television in a master bathroom or REALLY hideous curtains that need to go. All those things will be moved and taken down-eventually. 🙂
6:00 a.m.-My alarm went off. I grabbed some coffee (please note-the thick layer of dust on the Keurig. I didn’t realize it was this bad until I posted the picture!!! The floors were resanded and restained and there is dust EVERYWHERE!!), had my quiet time, and caught up on blogs.
7:00 a.m.-The carpet guys were coming, so this room had to be completely cleaned out.
I left blinds and the water for Tab. 🙂
8:00 a.m.-I got everyone ready for the day, started the dishwasher and the laundry.
9:00 a.m.-Ebby Lee, Bowen, and I dropped off these three cute boys at basketball camp.
I stayed for an extra second to watch. They were so cute!
10:00 a.m.-My personal shopper, Marla, had told me about some cute chairs at our local HomeGoods. We went to check them out and bought them for our dining room! EEK!
11:00 a.m.-I went by Marla’s to drop off a couple things and she asked if the kids could stay! My car was empty.
12:00 p.m.-Don’t pay attention to the mess! I picked up the boys, dropped one off, and grabbed these cuties some lunch.
1:00 p.m.-I forgot a picture while we were out there, but the boys swam while I read a book.
2:00 p.m.-Smith and Nixon were playing in the playroom.
3:00 p.m.-Nixon and Smith moved the party to Nixon’s room. (During this time-the floor guy stopped by so I talk to him, the cabinet guy calls me back and we set up a game plan, and I’m trying to unpack.)
4:00 p.m.-I sat down (still in my swimsuit and towel-ridiculous) to blog and check e-mail.
4:30 p.m.-New carpet is down and I love it!
5:00 p.m.-Getting ready for LADIES’ NIGHT!! And I’m a little excited. Can you tell?
6:00 p.m.-Ready and waiting for my chauffeur.
6:00 p.m.-Chauffeur arrived and we were off to dinner to meet our girls.
Then I forgot to document anything after that. ha! I got back from dinner, helped Tab bathe the kiddos, watched a bit of television, and was off to bed.
Hope you have a fabulous day!
1) Those chairs are AMAZING! GO MARLA! 2) The paint and the carpet look great! 3) I rip my swimsuit off so fast when I get home, I can't believe you still had yours on!
I love these posts!!! Thank you so much for having Smith over on this day! He had the BEST time! And I love, love, love your new dining room chairs!
Love Day in the Life posts. It's fun to see what other stay at home mommies do all day.
Fun
The carpet looks good and those chairs are beautiful!!! 🙂
Those chairs are incredible! Marla is the best! And can we seriously "play college" (and you find me a house in McKinney)? I have been eyeing your KS earrings and I just bought that AC necklace last week! The house is looking great!

This post was sooo great!"I LOVE how you kept it so REAL!!!! And I think you're making the right decision about unpacking a little at a time during summer! It's only the summer of 2015 once. You don't get to "re -do" it. You're a smart cookie 😉
Those chairs are fabulous ! Lucky you to have Marla 🙂

Love the hour by hour day! It's hard remembering to take pics 🙂 I like those chairs. I also love that you kept it real! 🙂
I am slightly jealous you found four cute and matching chairs at Home Goods! That never happens for me! Its always like 2 or 3, and then I am bummed! The new house is looking great!
