Day In The Life Of A Stay At Home Mom (Updated)

Happy Friday the 13th! *Que spooky music* We’ve made it to another week! Are we all washing our hands out there? This week I thought I’d give you an updated day in the life, the last one I had was when Jax was just a few months old and well things have changed since then! This is a normal every day in the life, some days we do go out but this is a normal schedule for us:)

7a-8a We both wake up at this time, mostly because he will hit me in the face and suddenly I’m awake lol, then I’ll warm up a bottle of milk for him and he’ll have that.

8:30a Is when we both have breakfast, some days we have cereal or pop tarts, he loves eggs and blueberries. So we will switch between these choices.

9:00a- 11:30a Is playtime in the living room, daddy’s up getting ready for work at this time. I do a little bit of cleaning at this time rather it be making the bed, scooping the litter pan, or starting a load of clothes.

11:30a-2:30p This is Jaxs nap time. So I’m able to get done what I need to get done, like working on my blog, taking pictures for my blog. I will eat lunch around this time if I’m hungry, otherwise, I’ll wait for Jax. Between this time frame, Eddie will also come home for his lunch break.

2:00p-5:00p Jax will wake up from his nap, I’ll feed him lunch. Its different day by day, he really loves mac and cheese (but what child doesn’t lol) He also likes cheese, ham, and crackers. But I’d love to hear what you give your toddler for lunches please feel free to leave them in the comments. This is also the time in which his Gigi comes home from break, We do have the privilege of being able to share this house with her, and trust me when I say its such a blessing. That little bit of a break I get in the afternoon from her is such a relief. If the weather is nice out we will also go outside and play, boy oh boy does that little man love being outside (honestly so do I).

5:00p-7:00p Might be the longest couple of hours of my life. I’m not really sure why they drag on, I suppose it could be because I’m waiting for Eddie to get off of work. but in this time frame, I like to get any dishes done, fold any laundry that was done. I like to tidy up the house about 30 minutes before Eddie gets home, I like for it to look nice for when he gets home. I and Jax also like to watch some tv or listen to music.

7:00p-9:00p This is when Eddie gets home, Jax gets so excited to see him! We all have dinner not long after he gets home. Then around 8:00p is when I start getting Jax ready for bed, so bathtime, PJs, and bottle. He does still sleep with us (I know Gasp!) but there are a few factors as to why most of them are because of me, laziness anxiety, you know all of that fun stuff. But for now, he’s with us so myself or Eddie will lay him down. He gets to watch one show before bed to kind of chill him out. He falls asleep around 8:30/9:00.

9:00p-11:00p Is when I’ll get ready for bed, shower stuff like that. I watch a bit of tv before I go to bed either with myself or Eddie. I usually go to bed around 10:30/11:00. If Eddie has had a long day he will do the same.
So that’s my day in the life, I know so exciting right? lol. I’m so blessed to be able to be a stay at home mom, but it does come with loneliness and feeling like all I am is a Mom. But as Jax gets older I know those feelings will all change. So, for now, I’m enjoying watching him grow into a sweet, crazy, loving little man! Thank you for checking out this weeks blog, was there anything in my routine that matches yours? If so I’d love to hear about it in the comments below. Also if you have any suggestions for any blog post I’d love to hear them! As always I’ll talk to you next time!
