A Day In The Life


Day in the life posts are some of my favorites to read because as bloggers I think we envision fancy coffee breaks and lots of events every night to keep us occupied- oh is that just me?! I decided to capture a regular day for you all – nothing fancy, nothing shiny just real life!


Day in the Life






6:00 AM – Alarm goes off and I’m wide awake! I make sure my post has gone live and then I bounce out of bed – careful not to wake Gary since he isn’t a morning person!


6:15 – I take my spot on the couch and you can find me here for the next 45 minutes as I make my way through my morning reads! Those of you that post right at 6:00 AM or earlier – THANK YOU!


Between 7:00 and 7:30 I’m usually making my way between our bedroom and the kitchen juggling getting ready, putting on makeup and making us breakfast. I take mine to go! 


7:40 (yes I’m that accurate): I make my way to the train and thankfully my commute isn’t too bad since I’m at my desk by 8:30 AM. Before the day gets started I try to read a few more posts and then the business day starts!


9:00 – 12:00 – this is the part of my day that really varies because I can be bouncing from meetings to actually working on pitches that we have to get out the door. I’m helping to create a lot of new content so its very creative.


12:30 PM: LUNCH! Again another part of my day that varies but I decided to skip the gym and have a salad with my sister outside! We work very close so it’s a treat to see her so often!


The rest of the day flies by in a flash doing a lot of the same from the morning and I find myself with a little downtown around 4:45!


I plan out some of the posts I have for the rest of the month (if you haven’t downloaded thisprintable linkyet do it, its the best!)


5:30 PM: Didn’t take a picture of this, but I hit the gym for a quick run and two rounds of my favorite7 min workout– do you have the app yet? I mentioned itback in Juneand have been using it ever since! I strategically picked a gym that has two locations that work for me – one near my house and the other literally in my office building! This saves a lot of time with not having to travel too far!


6:30 PM: Start on dinner – chicken stir fry is one of our favorites and we can’t forget the sriracha spicy mayo! This is literally my favorite time of day because Gary and I get to catch up on everything that went on! Sometimes it’s easy to feel like two ships passing in the night – but making dinner together is a nightly ritual – schedule permitting!


8:00 It just so happens that the day I was recording all my stuff was the day before the wedding we helped coordinate at the Cape. So I was doing some last minute printing of the timelines, vendor contracts and all the other good stuff we needed! Also made sure to get the packing done so I wasn’t scrambling in the morning!


9:00 ish: Finally settle in for the night with my tea and a little real housewives! 


I’m in bed by 10:30 and then repeat the next day! PHEW! 






You’re probably wondering when I respond to emails and stuff – honestly this varies between morning, lunch and after work on my train ride home. 






My take away is that I spend a lot of time in front of computers – since four of my photos have them! So there you have it a quick take on my daily routine! 




And I always remember these two quotes…it’s all about finding balance! 


My every day life isn’t quite as glamorous as some out there, but I love routine and I’d love to know what you’re daily routine is like!!

    So fun to get a sneak peek into your every day life. Now I know what you're doing when we're texting. The fun part is, we have our lunch break at the same time every day–now if only we worked closer together so we could grab a bite to eat together. In our matching shirts bahahah!

    I was just thinking if I should do a "day in the life of" post but my life is pretty boring! Just hearing that you ride a train is exciting to me, so funny how different states are since I've never even been on a train! Love hearing about your day and yes, I'm an early morning blogger too!

    Busy sched indeed!! Thanks for sharing the printable!…

    My typical weekday is basically waking up in the 6am hour, getting washed up and lay out clothes for the day, then I wake up my daughter, sleect her clothes, we finalize getting dressed and doing hair, while she eats breakfast, I make lunches, I drop her off at school, then I get into work by 8 or 8:15ish… work tends to be very busy and the day goes by quickly, after work, I either go to the gym, run an errand, or get ready for date night with the BF… if I go to the gym, which is more regular, I workout then come home to shower and make dinner… my nights end with getting my daughter bathed and into bed, then I get my comfy on with PJs and I Pinterest, read, watch a show or a movie then light's out sometime around 11ish!

    There's my day :o)

    I always post for 12:00am in the morning, I'm usually not up at that time, so that I hopefully hit my peeps in the different time zones (the ones that are two hours a head of me, or even six hours).

    And I love your laptop, it kind of looks like a mac but then the keys look silver? I thought they were all black. I know totally random.

    Your day looks so jammed pack. Thank god for those short workouts right? I couldn't imagine trying to shove in a workout with that day.
