The Adventures of a Twin Mom

Motherhood and Travel Blog

A Day in the Life- July 2019

One of my favorite things to read from bloggers are “Day in the Life” posts.  They give you a snapshot into people’s everyday lives! I wish I had done this while my kiddos were newborns (#absolutecraziness) and then every few months, just so I could look back on it.  I’ve done a lot of Life Lately posts but never a “Day in the Life”, here goes nothing…

The day I’m writing about was a random “work day” last week.  We travel a lot and we do try to keep busy but I should warn you, our normal days are just like everyone else’s…a little boring, we follow a routine, and everything revolves around our two toddlers!

Around 7 am, I woke up (Judd was already at work), I showered, made the bed, let London out, unloaded the dishwasher, started the robot vacuum, and then headed to my office to work for about 30-45 minutes.

Around 8:15, I heard the kiddos start to wake up!  Good Morning, my favorite twinsies!!

I changed them and then it was time for breakfast.  They eat the same thing almost every morning: milk, vitamin gummy, whole wheat toast, bananas, and turkey sausage.

Happy kiddos!!IMG_8034

Last year at this time, we took London to a dog training class and it was one of the best decisions we ever made.  She sat on her “spot” until we released her after breakfast.

The rest of the morning until lunch was spent playing!  These two LOVE to play!

IMG_8040

We also talked to Lovey (who had just gotten out of the shower, lol)!

IMG_8041

Around 12:00, it was time for lunch!

IMG_8048

After lunch, we read a few books and then it was nap time for Camden and Ella.

While, they were sleeping I worked on some photo shoots.  Part of my job as a blogger is creating content and providing brand awareness for companies.  I try to take my “product” pictures one day a week.  Here I’m doing a photoshoot for a shoe insert.  When Judd isn’t home, I use my tripod to take pictures. 🙂

Around 3:00, Judd got home and the kiddos woke up!

IMG_8070

Judd, Camden, and Ella ate a snack and played while I finished up my individual shoots and then it was time for dinner!

After dinner, we went swimming for a couple of hours! IMG_8371IMG_8372IMG_8373

Then it was home to take baths and unwind for the day.

Around 9:00 we put the kiddos to bed.  Every night after we put the kids to bed (and when Judd is home and not working), Judd and I grab a sweet treat like ice cream or cookies and watch TV together before bed.  It’s our time to relax before the day is over.

Around 10:00, we both headed to bed.  One more “work day” and then it was the weekend for us! We usually spend our weekends at the beach or traveling. 🙂

2018 in Review

I decided I should do a year in review post, this will be fun to look back on! Honestly, I wish I had one for every year.  2018 was a great and busy year!  Lets take a look…

January

Judd got offered an amazing job in Charleston which he accepted!IMG_1789

We decided we wanted to build a house so we flew down to Charleston to interview builders, pick a lot, and design our home!IMG_3057IMG_2911

February

Camden and Ella turned 1!  We had the cutest little party for them, you can read about that here.IMG_2857IMG_3467IMG_2858

March

This wasn’t my favorite month.  It was super gloomy where we were living and we had to say goodbye to Grandma Burns.  We miss her so much!1901292_10202963115384813_6562592336227462628_nIMG_4309

April

We took our first vacation as a family of four (unless our babymoon to Hawaii counts lol).  We went to a waterpark in Canada and had the best time. You can read more about that here.

We played with Camden and Ella’s cousins! It makes me pretty sad these four won’t be raised in the same town.IMG_7494IMG_7518IMG_7539

We moved to Charleston! Our house wasn’t complete so we stayed in a 2 bedroom furnished rental until it was done. The apartment was nice but the lack of space was driving us crazy!

August

We spent a lot of time exploring our new city!IMG_8866IMG_8922

We took weekend trips to Hilton Head and Savannah.IMG_9890IMG_9666

At the very end of August, we moved into our new home!

 

September

This month was spent getting settled, decorating, and going swimming A LOT!  We have a pool in our neighborhood which is so much fun!IMG_1358IMG_9849IMG_0919

We also went through our first hurricane.  Thankfully, it hardly hit us but we were pretty  terrified.
