What I did – Awake at 6.20am then dozed until 7am. Wrote morning pages, got ready and had breakfast. School run followed by a short walk. Blogging (working on this post and a new series coming up), writing the shopping list (I did the menu plan yesterday). ASDA for groceries, home for lunch and some YouTube watching. More editing on the memoir (trying to fix ordering), school pick up, chill out time after school (both feeling out of sorts). Sorted bins & recycling for tomorrow, prepped dinner. Boys did Lego after dinner. Chilled out evening – yoga then TV with hubby.

I am still very much enjoying this project. I love the extra awareness as I go about my days, taking photos and recording details. It helps me recognise my gratitude for the current season of my life. It’s also beneficial to see the dips and peaks in energy and enthusiasm throughout the week.
I’ll be back early next week with even more Week in the Life (sharing photos and details for the rest of the week).
If you’re taking part in Week in the Life – be sure to let me know. And if not, I hope you find some inspiration to document your daily life in some format for future reference!
