If you’ve been following Dallas Moms Blog for awhile, you may recall the “Day In The Life” series we did a couple of years ago.
Kelly, Jenny, Amanda, Heather & Cassidy did as any good blogger would do, and they wrote about a typical day in their lives. But ever wonder what your day would “look” like if you took a photo every hour? The description of a typical Saturday in my life currently lends itself much better to pictorial review rather than verbal review.
Why, you ask? Simple!
3 children under 3 (+ 2 dogs)
So without further ado, here’s a glimpse into a recent Saturday in my life via my picture log. (Yes, that would make it my Plog–can I copyright that?)
5:10 am
5 o’clock hour on a Saturday??? Why yes! It’s my most productive hour of the day.
6:15 am
Getting a shower in before the littles wake up makes the day go much smoother.
7:45 am
1st of 4 bottles for the day (this doesn’t include all their solid food meals either)
8:20 am
Breakfast for the big people.
9:35 am
Alone time with the eldest while the twin-littles attend to their morning naps.
10:50 am
Garage clean out time with daddy and trying to distract the babies since the time for their next bottle is still about an hour away.
11:30 am
Toddler lunch (aka. feeding him what he’ll actually eat).
12:20 pm
Expending some of that endless energy!
1:50 pm
The three nap times intersect for about 1.5 glorious hours a day.
2:05 pm
Mommy time!
3:25 pm
A load (or two) a day keeps (some of) the stress away.
4:10 pm
Yep, you guessed it. TV watching happens in our house (gasp!). Other than nap time, it’s about the only time this little guy will sit still for longer than a few seconds. Flavor of the day – Toy Story. Between Woody, Buzz Lightyear & T-Rex, this little guy is in heaven!
5:00 pm
From L to R: 1) Daddy-son bike-riding 101 2) Patience for the 2.5 year old who would rather look at the birds is waning. 3) Daddy-son date with the bike is officially done.
6:10 pm
Barnyard fun while big brother has dinner.
7:30 pm
Bed time ritual – baths, bottles & books.
8:25 pm
Believe it or not, writing and/or working is my time to unwind..and the wine helps a lil bit too.
I am a contributer for Fairfield county moms blog and am in the EXACT same situation as you – minus 1 dog! I felt like I was looking at my own life through your plog! My oldest is almost 3 and I have twins that are 8 months….and my name is Michelle! Thanks for sharing!
Sounds just like our life as well. My oldest will be 3 in May and my twin girls were born in June 2013 (8 months). I was wondering if you would mind sharing a little more detail about your nightime routine. My husband and I are really struggling with that right now so would love any tips, advice, etc. Thanks so much!
With prices comparable (or below) big box and online stores, these local stores are amazing mini-worlds perfectly suited for kids to explore, play, and let their imaginations run wild.

Wow, Michelle! Sounds like we lead parallel lives. Would love to see a plog of your Day In The Life. 🙂
