A Day In The Life

 I am not one to share too much of our private life. Today however I am opening the doors (just a little) and sharing “a day in the life”. I always love reading these kind of blogs/vlogs. There is something so intriguing about how someones spends 24hours. In a first I have vlogged a majority of our day, along with a noted rundown!

Whilst no day is the same in our house I chose to share a Wednesday. The one day we have free of no playgroup, no school, no dancing and no personal training sessions! Just a day to do whatever we like other than run a few errands. Friday is also that day too. Melbourne turned the weather on that Wednesday so I couldn’t resist. It was a perfect day to get out and about sharing “a day in the life”.

6.15AM –

Rise and shine! I get up around this time most mornings (weather depending) to take our dog out for a run. It is my favourite way to start the day as I feel energised and ready for the day. Not to mention it is like my “me-time” and Im certain our dog loves the one-on-one/ kid free time too haha!

7am – 

Breakfast time. Once I get home its time to get breakfast happening. Aria is usually up by 7am and Scarlett wakes anywhere from 7am-7.30am. Scarlett is the kind of kid as soon as she wakes up she wants food pronto! Breakfast is anything from weet-bix, eggs, pancakes, toast, fruit and yoghurt. I sit down with the girls and eat mine at the same time, which is usually muesli with greek yoghurt or eggs. I always use this time for a quick scroll of social media

8am – 

I get myself ready for the day. Whilst I do stay home and look after our girls and a “blogger”…can I call myself that? It feels weird! I do take pride in my appearance. Coming from an industry where my hair always had to be styled, makeup on and dressed well, I am just used to that and its part of my daily life, even as a mum! I do have my off days (currently as I type I am still in my workout clothes!)

Most mornings my husband is still around home so I make sure I shower whilst he is still around. Although somehow I still end up with two kids at my feet and one trying to apply her makeup too hah! I wash my hair every second or third day. I rarely wear my hair straight so I always curl it if its hair wash day or I will wear it up topknot/ponytail or like my low bun tutorial. Quick makeup application, dressed and I am ready for the day.

8.50am –

Get the girls ready for the day. When you have a three year who likes to pick her own clothes and tell you how to style her hair, this can take awhile! Aria’s current favourite hair style is piggy-tail and a side pony tail.

9.25am –

Make sure the baby bag is all packed for the day, water bottles, snacks/lunch, sunscreen, nappies etc….Swap the prams over in the car if needed. I am always switching between Stokke Xplory and our double pram Valco baby Snap Duo. Today I am taking the Stokke with us. Toilet check for Aria. And we are set, girls are in the car, away we go! Its amazing once you have two kids how long it takes to get ready and get everyone in the car!

10.20am – 

Rathdowne Street, Carlton. I love this street! You will find one of my favourite stores here The Lab Organics. The park here Curtain Square is amazing for kids as it has plenty of shade. If you after some delicious bread Kylie’s Slow Dough is O.M.G so good!

10.35am – 

First stop though, coffee and babycinos of course! We love strolling around, so I tend to park the car somewhere and then just wander. Plus that is when you find the best places! There is a cute, photo-worthy little cafe we love stopping at Cafe BÜ for our coffee. Other than grabbing take away we have never stopped to sit and eat there yet! Next time for sure.

10.55am

Rathdowne Village is always so  pretty to wander down. All the gorgeous terrace houses and leafy tree lined street. The Lab Organics is located not to far from Curtain Square. A skincare and lifestyle store. Its my go to shop for the Bondi Wash range, Grown Alchemist, Salus and beautiful candles. I picked up some more floor wash plus a scented candle, black fig so heavenly! A quick browse around and its time to let the girls go have fun at the park.
