Week in My Life: Tuesday

by

Holy Tuesday! Tuesday was one of those days when I wish I had about five more hours in the day. Frustration was the word of the day and I still have more work to do after this post goes live so “sleepless” will also describe my day! Let’s get to my re-cap:

When Little Roo wakes up, he likes to meander into the bathroom while Daddy Roo is showering. You can see the wet shower door as Little Roo messes with the TP. Don’t mind the overflowing hamper in our closet.

Even though Daddy Roo and I brush our teeth as soon as we wake up, Big Roo has been insisting we brush our teeth with him when HE wakes up (about an hour after us). He ever-so-sweetly made our toothbrushes (using his kids toothpaste) and Daddy Roo and I did a tooth brushing mulligan.

I left out the helmet from yesterday… guess who wanted to wear it.And this? I. Just. Don’t. Know.

Lunchtime Play by Play

On Tuesdays, the kids are only in preschool until noon so I thought I’d do a lunchtime play-by-play.

I only eat lunch with the kids twice a week during the week- Tuesday and Friday. The other days they eat at school so I can work an extra hour. Here’s how we roll for lunch:

12:14 Arrive home from preschool. Little Roo fell asleep on the 1 mile drive home, like he typically does.

12:15 Start grabbing leftovers out while Little Roo says “nuh-uh” to everything.

12:17- Settled on giving him yogurt while I get lunch ready.

12:20- Making PB&J… both from Trader Joes (our fave place).

12:23- Little Roo managed to get second tube open (was reserved for N) and was eating it. Pointing down at yogurt on floor “uh-oh!”

12:26- Lunch for Little Roo is served: half a PB&J and sliced grapes.

12:28- Served Big Roo PB&J sandwich while I get him some fruit. He whines we don’t have the soup he wants (Trader Joe’s Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato or Campbell’s Chicken Noodle Cars version). Yes, he loves that pepper and tomato soup.

Then, I look again and find the Cars soup and put it on the stove. Sweet!

12:30- Heat up MY lunch, which is leftover homemade beef stroganoff. Not low-fat but oh-so-yummy.

12:31- Pour milk for the kids. Realize that Little Roo already had a sippy cup made in the fridge.

12:32- Big Roo randomly falls off chair “I hurt my whole leg. Oh that hurted.”

12:32 “Where is my SOUP?” – Big Roo

12:34 Soup’s now on the table but too hot.

12:34 Make myself a glass of sweet tea.

12:36 I’m sitting down to eat!

12:37- Kids blowing on soup even though it’s not too hot anymore.

12:39 Soup on the Little Roo’s lap!

12:44 Big Roo made Little Roo say Joe Joe… now it means he won’t eat. I tell them to finish more soup.

12:46 Big Roo leans over and knocks his head on the chair beside him. Minor whining but my GAWD sit still

12:47 I eat grapes from Litlle Roo’s plate as it’s clear he only wants a Joe Joe.

Little Roo then starts rambling who knows what but man it’s cute!

12:49 Spoon feed Little Roo one bite of soup, then joke “don’t eat it!” because that usually gets him to eat but this time he spit it out and threw it.

12:50 Hand out Joe Joes, one each. Little Roo proclaims, “Cool!”

12:51 Little Roo shares the top of his cookie with Big Roo, who is thrilled by this development.

12:53 Big Roo ran over and blew a raspberry in Little Roo’s face. I scold him for spraying Little Roo with spit.

Little Roo drops milk. Drops again within the minute. Tried to throw soup bowl off the table but I caught it.

12:54 We’re done just as Little Roo hits hand on table and cries for a second.

1:07- Little Roo’s down for a nap and I finally clear off the kitchen table from lunch.

Frustrations with a Capital F

The afternoon went downhill quickly.

First Little Roo woke up early as I was trying to read up on everyone’s posts from yesterday. He was crying and snotty so you can’t blame him.

Then I got Big Roo ready for soccer.

Earlier I had called about Big Roo’s soccer game. It had been raining earlier so I wondered if it was still on. I called the Y and their Hotline wasn’t updated so I called again and asked the receptionist who said, “Did you check the hotline?”

Me: “Yes but it hasn’t been updated since September 30.”

The Y: “Well, no one has said anything about it being canceled so it should be still a go.”

Why I didn’t double-check I don’t know.

We drove over to the fields… to find no one there. Big Roo was a bit upset by that. He really wanted to play.

So I decided to run a few errands since I was stressed about all I needed to do anyway. Of course, I drove the wrong way and ended up taking 10 minutes longer to get to my first stop.

After we ran errands, we came home and the kids played for a while. Sometimes I get so stressed with them playing though. I often wonder what’s too rowdy? Where do I draw the line. They LOVE to run and ram these trucks together but my rule is no running and no bumping trucks. Just race them without pushing them. Maybe when Little Roo is older but I’ve seen him bump his head and fall too many times from trying to keep up with Big Roo. It’s the neverending dilemma on how much space to give them to play and trying to keep them safe.

All the near misses make me wanna drink though I can tell ya that.

Making Dinner

Making dinner also makes me a big stressball. They aren’t the age where you can just let them be so you have to check in on them often. I like them to play in the playroom (dining room turned playroom) while I cook. By the way, most of the toys are to the right where you can’t see them. Promise!

If there’s one thing we teach Big Roo, it’s how to cook. He LOVES helping us in the kitchen. When he saw I was making cornbread for our chicken chili, he said, “I love breaking eggs. That makes me so exciting.” Heh.

Of course, Little Roo HAS to climb onto the stool too. Of course.

Here’s our dinner. Paula Deen recipe for Green Chicken Chili. Turned out delish! (doesn’t look like a big serving but the bowls are deep!)

Bedtime with Little Roo

Tonight was my turn to get the kids to bed. I’ll capture Big Roo later this week but tonight I got crappy iPhone photos (can’twait for the new iPhone on Friday).

I did manage to get this picture though with my regular phone. For some reason, Little Roo decided to strip down. Beats me!

 

We headed upstairs. Little Roo pulled out wipes. Awesome.

Then we read some books. He was very intrigued I was taking pictures.

Finally, we brushed his teeth. He starts by doing it himself then I finish off. He got interested in the soap and payed me no mind. It isn’t always that easy, that’s for sure. I think I washed both of his thin (non-flannel) long-sleeved PJ bottoms so he’s in mis-matched PJs.

As I put him to bed, I tried to get Little Roo to say “love you” since he did it for Daddy but all I got was “night night” over and over. I’ll take it… for now.

Notes about the process:

  • I HAVE to shorten my posts for the rest of the week. Taking SO long to put together but man I love seeing the day.
  • Need more Daddy Roo pictures.
  • Tomorrow I’ll time-lapse my workday and probably keep the rest of the post relatively short. For me (I do tend to talk a lot).

Week in My Life: Monday

by

Welcome to the first Week in My Life link-up! Here my run down of my Monday. Be sure to check the linky at the bottom for a chance to win a camera bag courtesy of ThisLife!

Little Roo woke up around 6:30 am coughing and pretty cranky. Oh yes and he wet his pajamas I discovered… which rarely happens anymore. Happy Monday!

I changed him into a “play” outfit until Big Roo woke up so we could do baths. Usually baths are every other evening but we didn’t get around to it last night since my brother-in-law and sister-in-law passed through town on their way back home to VA.

So we made a little coffee. Little Roo wanting to help of course.

 

Big Roo got up sometime after 7 am and then crawled in bed for a second. Not that he was resting.

 

And he brings his entourage with him downstairs every morning. If you aren’t familiar with that pink bear back there, his name is Burt and we almost lost him at Toys R Us one holiday season. That bear is Big Roo’s favorite thing in the world.

 

Little Roo will lay in our bed for about five seconds before he squirms to get down. Today he stayed maybe 10 seconds… but only because he had milk.

 

You see this kid pointing. Want to know what he’s pointing at???? Joe-Joes. Yes, Trader Joe’s version of Oreos. EVERY morning we go to the pantry, he points at them and says, “Joe Joes.” No son, not for breakfast.

 

Children running with, crawling under and hiding behind large pieces of fabric was a real theme today. Who knew? It started with Little Roo taking off with a blanket wrapped around him.

 

Every morning, Little Roo steals Daddy Roo’s breakfast. It doesn’t matter what he already had, Daddy’s must taste better.

I managed to get the kids in the bath before preschool, which is usually reserved for evenings when Daddy Roo can help me with the kids post-bath FRENZY. During bathtime though, Little Roo thought it would be funny to drink the water. Yuck.

After their bath, they ran like crazy little people into Big Roo’s room and hid under a towel.

And THEN when I shooed them out of Big Roo’s room because they were jumping on the bed (don’t need an accident, kids), they proceeded to hide behind the curtains in Little Roo’s room. See what I mean about fabric?

This is one of my fave shots of the day. I snapped this shot right after a pulled back the curtain and went RAHHRRRR!

Although we were running a few minutes late, I got the kids to preschool around 9 am. Big Roo loves walking Little Roo down the hall to his class.

 

This kid doesn’t even care when I leave. He’s been going here since the summer and has cried for me just once! I can barely get a kiss from him before I leave!

 

Big Roo of course likes to ham it up for the camera when he gets to his room.

So, in between preschool and the next shot I headed to Whole Foods because we were completely out of milk. I hate doing errands during work time but sometimes you gotta. I used my Living Social voucher and got $20 worth of groceries for $10. Too bad I spent a tad more than that. We typically shop at Trader Joes and Target so I got too excited about all the yummy stuff at Whole Foods.

When I got home, I FINALLY ate my breakfast. Usually I get a chance to eat in the morning but this morning was extra crazy with the bath thrown in there. I decided to work at the coffee table for a while.

 

I tried a self-portrait by laying the camera on my couch. You couldn’t see much of me but I sorta like how it turned out!

 

On Mondays the kids are in preschool from 9 am to 2:30. Preschool ends at noon but they have lunch til 1 and then go to their Aftercare program from 1-2:30. We do this twice a week so I can get my marketing consulting work done. The kids ADORE it and Big Roo pretty much begs to go there everyday.

While they were in school, I worked on my Momcomm post, talked with people on Facebook and Twitter, worked on a blog critique and worked on a website copywriting project for a client. Here are a few screenshots of my morning.

The time flew though and before I knew it I was picking the kids up. Unfortunately, this became Cranky Toddler Afternoon starting with Little Roo sitting in the laundry room searching through his preschool bag for milk… until I brought him some FRESH milk (fresh from Whole Foods, mind you).

Oh and there was room for one more “playing with fabric” episode.

 

Make that two.

 

During naptime, Big Roo insisted on watching Cars 2 videos on YouTube. This is a daily routine now during Big Roo’s nap. He watches it for a while on Daddy’s computer while I work a bit. Then we do something together and I clean up the house a bit.

 

We made ghosts to hang on our tree outside. I’ve been bad about crafty things lately so I’m trying to get back into it. Thought this would be an easy place to start.

 

Once Little Roo woke up, we headed outside for a while. Honestly from 4:45 – 6:00, the half hour outside was the only time he wasn’t crying. The kid has a cold and was miserable.

 

He wanted to wear Big Roo’s helmet and obviously knows how to put it on. Obviously.This was right before I chased them around the yard.

 

Skipping to after dinner before you get bored to tears. Big Roo and I “raced” to pick up the Legos in three minutes. Nothing like a challenge to get him to clean up.

 

Daddy Roo and I take turns putting the kids to bed. Whoever doesn’t do that is on dishes duty. Tonight was Daddy Roo’s kid night and so Burt rode on his head up the stairs.

 

I finished the evening slouching WAY too much on my couch (I’m not pregnant I swear), working on this post with a beer in hand. Sweet!

Notes about the Process

  • I didn’t get pictures of all our routines today and that’s okay. I’ll capture bedtimes and late evenings on other nights. That’s why I like having an entire week!
  • I wanted to time-lapse our morning routine but decided I couldn’t do that AND take pictures. Will try it later this week.
  • Didn’t write down as many “Big Roo-isms” as I wanted to. Will be sure to capture them throughout the week.
  • I really want to get some videos of the kids (and me playing with them) sometime this week.
  • I documented WAY more than this but kept the blog post to the highlights.
  • I kept a pretty good journal today throughout the day.
  • I’d like to get pictures of me playing with Little Roo tomorrow. He had a rough afternoon so we didn’t get to play.
  • This is a lot of work but really, really fun. Already have some shots that I just adore and moments I’m glad I captured.

Week in My Life: Kickoff!

by

Well, helllloooooo!

Welcome to the Week in My Life project!

I’m going to try really hard to limit my use of exclamation points in this post because I’m so stoked about this week!

(If you’re just hearing about this, read the Week in My Life Announcement and the Q & A/Ideas posts first.)

As we get started, here’s some more info for you!

Documenting Starts Today, Link-ups Start Tuesday!

As a reminder, even though you’re documenting your life today, the first link-up won’t be until TOMORROW. So, on Tuesday, you link up your Monday, on Wednesday your Tuesday and so on. Our last link-up will be NEXT Monday. I’ll post each link-up at around 12 am each day so you can link up early.

If you decide to combine days, (like do the weekend in one post), no worries. Just link up on the most recent day.

Also, be sure to tweet with the hashtag #weekinmylife when you tweet updates, your pictures or your posts! I’ll be passing along tips throughout the week on Twitter and Facebook.

Come Find Me at ThisLife!

As I mentioned last week, the Week in My Life has a sponsor! If you haven’t heard of ThisLife yet, they’re going to change the way you organize your photos so they won’t be a secret for long!

ThisLife was designed by parents for parents (but it’s not JUST for parents)! The app gathers your scattered “moments” from your online world (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Picasa, Shutterfly, Smugmug and more), organizes them chronologically and makes them searchable. One of my favorite parts of this app is that Instagram pictures instantly get added to your timeline! I can’t tell you how happy that makes me.

ThisLife not only does photos but text too! If I tweet something with #thislife added to it, it gets added to my timeline. Cool, right?
At first, I worried about duplicate photos cropping up since pictures on my computer are also on Facebook. But ThisLife eliminates duplicates. They also help you improve your moments by auto-enhancing your photos (in a non-destructive, totally reversible way) and helping you tag your photos.

Here’s what my timeline looks like so far. I label pictures by location and person, too. Also, I made some pictures bigger manually. They’re my faves so I wanted them to stand out.

 

The ThisLife app is in beta right now but if you just head to their website and enter your email, you’ll be added to the invite list. I’ve been told you should get in within the next few weeks.

So, today I’m over at ThisLife’s blog giving some tips for Week in My Life. I’d love it if you stop by!

And on Thursday, I’ll be co-hosting a Twitter chat at 11 am EST/8 am PST. We’ll be chatting about capturing your week and giving away a $25 gift card to Petite Lemon. No need to RSVP; just follow #WeekInMyLife!

Need Some Slick Graphics for the Week?

A Week in My Life Project: Questioned Answered, Giveaway Revealed and Lots of Ideas!

by

When I hit publish on Wednesday I had no idea what response I was going to get. You guys BLEW ME AWAY. Seriously.

Now I’m even more stoked about Week in My Life since so many of you are giving it a go, too! (If you missed what’s happening around here next week, check out my Week in My Life post.)

THIS post is jam-packed with information and ideas so be sure to read to the end. Let’s get to it.

Week in My Life Q & A

You had some questions for me so I thought I’d answer them for everyone.

Do I need to commit to the entire week?
Absolutely not! You may already have a giveaway or guest post planned… or you may just not want document your life for a FULL week. No problem! You can document the full week, one weekday combined with the weekend, a day or even just a routine within a day! It’s up to you and whatever you’re up for.

What if my routine is the same every day?
I think very few of us have a COMPLETELY different day seven days in a row so they’ll be some of the same things going on each day. You don’t need to document your day from morning to night if you don’t want. If your morning routine is about the same each weekend, just document it on one day. Maybe the next day you capture the evening routine and so on.

In addition, you may go crazy if you time lapse a full day (i.e. at 8:00 we did this, 8:12 we did this) so pick a different part of the day to do. Last year, I time lapsed our dinner. While it’s crazy to sit there and write down what’s going on as we ate, I love reading it because it highlights the craziness of dinnertime with two boys under 4. It’ll have me laughing for years to come.

I’m not sure what my family will think.
Have you ever been to a wedding where you hardly notice the photographer because he/she is so discreet? Be like that. Be non-chalant. Capture your family AS THEY ARE. They’ll probably like it better because you aren’t asking them to pose and say cheese all the time! 🙂

Is there an official hashtag?
Okay, I lied. No one asked this but I’ll tell you anyway. Yes, there is! Use and follow #weekinmylife so find new friends and get a peek into their lives. Sweet.

What sorts of things should I document about our lives?
Aaah, I’ve got you covered. Read to the end for lots of awesome ideas.

The Giveaway

As I hinted at earlier this week, Week in My Life is being sponsored by ThisLife, a really cool app I’ll tell you more about on Monday.

ThisLife has awesomely donated a BEAUTIFUL camera bag from Cheeky Lime for me to give away next week! You can pick either color. If you win, I’m jealous of you. Very.

If you don’t have a DSLR camera, you can: store your point-and-shoot, video camera and other electronics in here OR use this as a perfect way to convince your significant other that now is the time to upgrade, baby!

To enter the giveaway, all you need to do is link up your post to any day during the Week in My Life Project. If you do all seven days? You get seven entries! Just a few more “rules”:

  • You’ve gotta link your post using the linky that’s provided each day (if you’ve never used one before, no worries- it’s easy!)
  • Your post must be a true Week in My Life post (so a one-picture Wordless Wednesday post won’t fly)
  • Your post should have a link back to Adventuroo

Easy peasy, right? I won’t make you stand on your head, dance around in circles and tweet a link fifty times to win. Just capture memories, girl. Capture those memories.

Winner will be announced next week after Week in My Life is over.

Things You Can Document about Your Week

Now that your questions have been answered and you’re drooling over a camera bag, let’s get to some ideas, shall we?

Here are a ton of ideas of things you can document about your life both in pictures and words (remember you can always capture some things just for yourself and not blog about them):

Routines:

  • Morning
  • Evening
  • After-school
  • Bedtime
  • Weekend morning
  • Before or after sports
  • Before or after church

Daily Activities:

  • Sports
  • School
  • Doing homework
  • Preparing lunches
  • Preparing dinner
  • Playing with toys
  • Surfing the internet (can even do screenshots of anything computer-related)
  • Using social media
  • Blogging
  • Feeding the dog
  • Kids bathtime
  • Exercising
  • In the car (just don’t take pictures while driving, okay?)

Inanimate Objects:

  • Toys
  • Messy rooms (or clean ones if you have them- hehe)
  • Laundry
  • Your meals
  • COFFEE!!!!!!!
  • Picture of your phone showing the weather
  • Cover of today’s newspaper
  • Receipts
  • Packaging (food, toy, etc- you’ll get a good kick out of how dated they’ll look years down the road)
  • Electronics (they’ll look ancient to you one day; heck, may be ancient to you now!)
  • Favorite books
  • The alarm clock (wake up time!)
  • Things you use a lot
  • Mail piles
  • Decorations
Words & Touchy-Feely Stuff:
  • Funny things your kids say (or you or your significant other says)
  • Milestones
  • Relationships (between your kids, you and kids, you and significant other, you and crazy people, you and sane people, I could go on and on)
  • Thoughts and feelings about the day
  • Notes about the process (each day, I plan to jot down a few things about the process of capturing daily life)
If you have a few minutes, grab a piece of paper (or open up a doc) and jot down some things you want to be sure to capture next week. For example, here are some of mine:
  • The kids dancing after dinner (we do this almost nightly)
  • Me on the computer
  • Big Roo’s soccer game

If you want to see how I documented my life last year (and my notes of the process) check out my posts from last year (this links to the first day of the week).

On Monday, I’ll have some graphics for you to use for your daily posts (if you want them) and some more about ThisLife. See y’all next week!

“A Week in My Life” Starts Monday: Come Share Yours Too!

by

It’s coming! I’ve hinted around here and there about this. Last year, I captured an ENTIRE week in my life. And looking back on my posts, it just about makes me cry because of how different life is now. In just one year (okay a year and a few months), our ins and outs of daily life are drastically different.

Like this picture from July 2010:

The kids now bathe together and MAN does Little Roo look different. I can’t wait to get more bath shots next week.

But THIS is why I want to document my life for one week each year. And why I want YOU to join me.

Because I know you want to remember these big and little moments too… before they are just fuzzy memories with no pictures or words to spring them back to life.

Why You Should Capture Your Life, Too (Even If It’s Just for a Day)

I really REALLY want you to do this. Not for me but for YOU! It’s a lot of work but the reward is that you’ll have a slice of your daily life that you can show to your children as they get older (and can look back on yourself when you’re feeling sentimental).

A few things you should know:

  • Don’t feel like you have to document a full week if it sounds like too much. Even a day will capture a slice of your everyday life.
  • This is for you so don’t feel like you have to post every single thing you did that day. Publish as much or as little as you’d like for public consumption and then keep the rest for your own memory keeping.
  • Let go of the idea that each shot should be free of clutter (like clothes hampers, toys, etc). THAT’S life, right? Embrace the perfect and not-so-perfect surroundings of your life.
  • If you already have reviews, giveaways, guest posts or other things planned next week, no worries! Just participicate the days you can (you can even combine multiple days into a post if you want).
  • What if you don’t typically blog about yourself or your family? Turn this into a series around a topic you DO write about: ex. food- series on what your family eats each day, ex. green living- how you live green in daily life and challenges you come across, ex. budget living- how you still to a budget for a week, etc. etc.
  • If you’re unsure what sorts of things you should capture, I’ll be posting some ideas for you on Friday!

How It Works

Week in My Life will run from Monday, October 10 to Sunday, October 16. Each day, I want you to record your life through pictures, words and maybe even some video. The morning after, publish your post highlighting the day before. So on Tuesday, you publish Monday’s day and so on. If you tweet, we’ll be using the hashtag #weekinmylife.

Each day there will be a linky so you can link up your posts. (Linking up will also double as an entry in a giveaway for something really cool– oh wait, did I spill the beans? Stay tuned.)

You don’t need many supplies but here’s what I’ll be using next week:

  • Camera
  • Tripod
  • Remote control for my camera (I’ll use my self-timer too)
  • Notebook and Pen
  • iPhone to record videos, take notes, take pics when my camera isn’t within easy reach
  • A checklist of things I want to be sure to document (stay tuned for Friday’s post for some ideas)

But Wait! There’s More!

Oh yes, it’s gonna be awesome around here (and elsewhere) next week. Week in My Life is being sponsored by ThisLife, a really cool application that pulls in your memories from your computer, Instagram, Facebook and more. I’ll be guest posting over at their blog, co-hosting a Twitter party, doing a cool giveaway and providing you with more awesome ideas to capture a week in YOUR life.

Okay, my friends, I’d love for you to do two things:

  • Leave a comment if you think you’ll be participating in some way, shape or form next week. Also feel free to ask any questions about Week in My Life.
  • Head over to ThisLife and simply enter your email to register for an invite for their beta. Invites will be going out in the coming weeks but it’s worth the wait!
I really can’t wait to get started on documenting a week in my life!
