Loving Life With Little Ones- Daily
Routine
This post was written for fellow blogger The L's
Mum (she blogs at www.thelsmum.co.uk if you fancy a gander). She asked other bloggers to give
details on their routines so she could create an index of routines in order to
help other mums in various family situations in the future. This is my
contribution.
Tell me a bit
about yourself and your family
I am Sarah, also known as Mummy, I am 30 years old and
live with my family in the Cotswolds. I'm happily married to my husband, known on
the blog as Daddy, who is 36. We have two beautiful daughters. Little 1 was
born in October 2009, now aged 4 and a half she is a beautiful, funny, happy
little girl. Little 2 came along in February 2012, at just turned 2 years old
she is scrummy, cheeky, and happy like her sister. (I blog annonymously and do
not include the names of my husband or children on my blog so can not do so
here- apologies)
Are you a stay at
home parent or a working parent?
I am currently a Stay at Home Mum having given up work to
care for my girls when Little 2 was born. Daddy works full time.
In 3 words
describe a typical day
Busy, Playful, Happy
Could you tell me
the highlight of your day
The best part of the day in our house is 5pm when Daddy
gets home from work. The girls faces light up when they see him and they go
running 'Daddy, Daddy', he scoops them up and covers them in kisses (I get one
too). Everyone is happy that he is home, the girls and Daddy play and I get to
finish cooking the tea without inturruptions (!) before we all spend some time
together.
Our Routine
We have 2 different routines in the early part of the day
depending if it is a preschool day or not, we are a lot more laid back if we
don't have anywhere we need to be!
Preschool days and
Sunday as Little 1 goes to hockey.
6.50am Alarm.
(7.30 on Sunday)
7am Mummy and
Daddy get dressed.
7.15 Wake and
dress girls.
7.35 Everyone is
downstairs, getting coffee and breakfast.
7.40 Daddy leaves
for work, Mummy and the girls sit down for breakfast of cereal, toast and fruit.
8am Time for a
little children's tv or a play while Mummy tidies the kitchen, empty dishwasher
etc.
8.25 School run-
Little 1 to preschool. (Sunday- daddy and Little 1 go to hockey).
8.55 Home from school run with Little 2 and time to play or
to the supermarket straight from school.
10am Coffee for
Mummy and snack for the Little 2.
(10.30 Sunday- Daddy and Little 1 home from hockey).
10.15-12noon If we are at home, I usually do a few jobs,
washing, cleaning etc and spend some time playing with Little 2, a bit of
blogging is usually in there too if she is happy playing!! Some days we go to
toddler group or Tumble Tots.
12.15 Lunch for Little 2, usually sandwiches or beans on
toast etc.
12.45 Little 2 goes to bed for a nap, Mummy has lunch and
catches up on emails and reading blogs!
1.45 Little 2 up,
time for a cuddle, drink of milk, often a little tv together while she wakes
up, playing together and sometimes a playdate.
2.55 School run- Pick
Little 1 up from preschool.
3.25-5pm Home,
snack for the girls, lots of playing, playdates, Mummy prepares tea later on.
5pm Daddy gets
home and Mummy serves tea, lots of loud playing with Daddy afterwards.
6pm Girls go up to
bath or get into pyjamas.
6.30 Milk and
stories.
7pm Teeth and
girls into bed.
On other days when we don't have anywhere to be the girls
generally wake up between half 7 and 8am, we have a lesurily breakfast, no one
is dressed until gone 9. The rest of the day is pretty similar to above but
times vary depending on what we are doing, if we are going out or expecting
visitors. We do try to keep the same bedtime of 7pm each day though.
