A Day In My Life

My typical day starts out at 6:50 am. I crawl out of bed, throw on some leggings and a sweatshirt and it's time to wake my 6 year old daughter Kayleigh. We frantically get dressed, brush her teeth and eat breakfast so that we can be out the door by 7:10. If everything runs according to schedule, we can make it to school in time to take advantage of the "drop off lane" which allows me to hide my mess of a self from the other parents until I get a chance to shower and brush my teeth. Then it's back home just in time for me to greet my waking 15 month old boy, Liam.

Liam and I mosey downstairs at 8 am for breakfast and enjoy each other's company until about 10 am when we finally decide to wake my peacefully sleeping boyfriend Hector. Liam works his way up the stairs yelling "DAAAA DAAAAA" and then he bursts into the bedroom and leaps into bead along side Hector. Definitely the easiest way to wake someone up, just let the baby do all the work! It is now that I try to squeeze in some time to blog, run to the seamstress and/or get some thrifting in before Hector has to work and I have to pick Kayleigh up from school at 2.

Dinner is at 6 pm when Hector arrives home from work, then it's bath time and off to bed for the kids (and often an exhausted me) at 8 pm on the dot! So in the midst of the chaos that is my life, I sit here blogging and I realize how incredibly fortunate I am to have such a supportive boyfriend and 2 terrific kids who allow me to not only be a stay at home mother but give me the time and motivation I need to set out on this exciting new business endeavour, Oo-Oui Vintage and Vouge!
