summer daze / a day in the life

from last september to this may, the words "i can't wait for summer" slipped out of my mouth quite often. i think it got to the point where the phrase was so repeated that my mom began rolling her eyes when she heard the word "summer" [and let me tell you, mom is not one to roll her eyes. but i definitely caught her doing just that, more often then i thought possible for her. woops. ] so when may 26th arrived and my final class was dismissed, i was over the moon. yes, folks. they're here. those "lazy, crazy, hazy" days of summer are back & if you're wondering, they're everything i'd dreamed they'd be and more. since my days usually follow the same pattern, i thought i'd document my day exactly as it falls out with lots of my routines scattered throughout. :)

. . . . .

8:56 a m | the drowsy minutes
in which i awoke to the golden morning light. stretched, rolled over, pushed play & listened to ben rector until i actually felt like removing the duvet from the top of my body
9:23 a m | up & at 'em
duvet = off | body = exposed.  the three succulent babes take a spot on the windowsill for some solid sunshine-y tlc. and the day officially begins. [with me trying not to wake the sister up as i get out of bed. it's a struggle every. morning. ]
9:45 a m | sustenance
my breakfast usually consists of a fruit, carb, and protein. today i opted for a cinn. raisin bagel, fresh strawberries, and bacon. whilst eating, i snagged the june issue of Living. all of it was delicious.

10:00 a m | the construction

on monday, it was the weekly shop day. a to-do list was drawn up [blog. water plants. clean room. organize school supplies. coffee date with mom. devos. cardio. ] and the to-buy list was also written [at the top of my list: espresso roast & micellar water . . . for iced coffee & clean skin ]

10:17 a m | me time
eventually, after the morning has officially kicked off & i've gotten all the business out of the way, i get ready. sometimes this isn't until after lunch & sometimes this is before i even have breakfast. today it just so happened that i had a coffee date & i needed it somewhere in the middle.
what i use: step one | step two | step three | step four | step five
10:42 a m | the waiting game
in which i pump ben rector and check all of my favorite blogs [ this weeks fave ]
11:09 a m | i love her a latte
coffee date with the momma. it's been such a crazy month for me that i haven't really been able to catch up with her. there were tears & laughs & coffee. it was wonderful to spend some quality time with her.

1:37 p m | homebody

donned leggings & an oversized sweatshirt. still sipping on my iced from starbucks. emotions continued to run rampant so i blogged. as one does. 

2:05 p m | walk it off

it was a hard weekend for me, surprisingly. i grabbed a pair of headphones & headed out on my normal path & just prayed. the sun came out and the wind picked up & i exposed my emotions to my jesus. 

3:11 p m | #nationalbestfriendday

so apparently, it's national best friend day & i had no idea...but somehow i ended up writing and posting about my bestfriend, my momma. i love her so much. read the post here.

3:21 p m | technologically sound

i just watched youtube. and suits. suuuper riveting, eh?

4:37 p m | rinse

washed the days grime off in the shower.

[ things i use: shampoo | body wash | conditioner ]

5:04 p m | pins in a suit

i.e. pinterest & usa's suits series 

6:12 p m | giggles & snuggles

babysitting a little man, sweet as pie & easy as a sunday morning. there were loads of snuggles & warm, post-bath tickles. love little ones & how they scare away the case of the monday's. 

10:18 p m | home & pillow talk

got home, pulled on pajama's, and fired up my phone and spent a good solid 2 hours on the phone. woops!

12:35 p m | bed time

teeth brushed [toothpaste]. duvet on. eyes closed. 

another day in the books.
