Hi guys!

I love reading these posts and hadn’t done one since Camryn was born. So, here’s a day in our life {weekend edition}. This is from last Saturday!

2 am – Camryn stirs a little so I get up and feed her. We’re back down by 2:30.

6am – Camryn wakes up. She is usually up between 6 and 7, depending on if/how many times she’s been up throughout the night. We have nights where she sleeps through the night, and some nights she wakes up 1-2 times. It’s still kind of unpredictable!

I change her, make coffee and make breakfast. I’ve realized that she doesn’t love to eat right away (so unlike me – I wake up starving!). The mornings are actually my favorite time with her. She’s so bubbly and loves to “chat” while I drink my coffee. This usually consists of me making faces with her and copying her oo’s and aa’s sounds. She loves it. I also give her some time with her new piano mat. Tater also finds this fascinating.

this Post!

6:45-7am – Feed her.

7 am – Take her and Tater for a walk. Now that it’s so hot here, I have to go either really early or much later in the day to avoid the hot sun.

7:45 – Wake Ed up since he’s on baby duty for the morning as I have an event to get to. I make a smoothie (breakfast #2) for the road because I stop and go for a quick run before the event. Need that post run fuel! I add Ripple pea protein milk (I’ve been drinking this since starting to limit dairy – I prefer this over almond/coconut milk because it has protein), frozen bananas, frozen mango chunks, frozen cauliflower, a scoop of chocolate PB2 and this protein powder). I’m in the market for a new powder that doesn’t have whey protein. Usually, I am all about whey but since limiting this dairy stuff for Cam, I’m going to try a new one. I’m thinking about trying this Orgain, plant based. Anyone had it before?

8:00- 8:20 – Quick run at a local greenway. I love how shaded it is!

9:00- 12:00 –  Hang out at a local health and fitness event that I’m working. I was on hand to talk about sports nutrition, and there were also free yoga and crossfit classes going on.

12:15 – Get home, feed Cam and make myself lunch. I heat up some leftovers of quinoa, eggplant, asparagus and a mushroom veggie burger. I added some hummus and pasta sauce too.

1:00 – 4:00 – I shower, do some cleaning/housework and try to put Cam down for a nap. She ends up only sleeping for 20 minutes, so instead of writing an article, we cuddle on the couch, do tummy time, and watch tv. Eventually, we both take a catnap on the couch.

6:30 – I leave for a press event. Sabor is opening a new location here in north Charlotte, so I go to the tasting and help promote the event. I’m so excited about this location because though there are a few closer to the city, this one is closer to us and I’m sure it will be a go-to for Taco Tuesday.

I got my favorite yuca fries and mexican street corn on a stick. I also got a side arepa.

8:15pm – Home to feed Camryn one more time before putting her down to bed. I enjoy a glass of wine with Ed before turning in ourselves. Bedtime is a lot earlier these days as I anticipate the early wake ups, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything!

Do you have a local restaurant that you frequent often or love?

What does your bedtime routine look like?
