There are some bloggers who give a wonderful snap shot of their lives on a regular day each month and I always enjoy getting to peak into their lives. It's even more wonderful when that regular day is accompanied by pictures. While I don't have pictures, I still thought it might be interesting to get a written snap shot into what one of our regular days looks like, especially since I tend to get a lot of questions from friends and family about that very thing! :)

I enjoyed this post, I like seeing how we all spend our days. I have slipped out of the habit of doing my "day in my life" posts on a regular basis but I might do one from time to time. It creates a nice record of the ordinary days.
I always enjoy when you do them too! :)
