Not every single day is the same for me and my family during quarantine but I wanted to share what my typical day in quarantine looks like and would love to hear yours in the comments below. We've tried to create some kind of "structure" and normalcy for us because we have a toddler and we know how crazy things can get when theirs no structure for kids. So we've created some kind of routine for all of us in my house. Some days fly by and some days drag!
Mornings...
For the most part my daughter, Tutu now wakes up on her own around 9 or 10 and she's getting use to waking up at that time. When she was attending school before it closed she was up by 7 so I guess she's loving those extra hours of sleep. We are fortunate that my husband gets to get work from home so we both usually wake up between 8-9. After that is breakfast time and we play nursery music for Tutu while she plays with her toys. We try to limit screen time so we don't have her watching anything in the mornings. We reserve screen time for the afternoons. Tutu wakes up with so much energy so during this time I try to keep up with her. Sometimes I can sneak in some work time while I watch her. She goes down for her nap between 12-1 (depending the time she wakes up) and that's the time I can work straight through for about 3 hours with no interruption.
Afternoons...
The afternoons are my favorite because after lunch we all go for a walk around the block when my husband clocks out. Getting fresh air is so important during this quarantine and I'm grateful we live a closed townhouse complex. So we are literally right in front of our house and not around anyone. When we go outside somedays I take this time to dress up and take photos. I want to add as much normalcy to my life as I can. I know this is a hard time we are all going through so doing any little thing to make me happy I'm all for it. I wore this leopard printed top from Lookbook Store for our walk around the block last week and wanted my husband to photograph it because it's so pretty. I'm making a log of outfits I'm wearing after quarantine and this one is on my list. ha! Some days I'm just really over wearing lounge wear and yes I want to wear a cute outfit even if it's just around the block.🤷🏽♀️ Also, my purses now have a new purposes. They carry water for all of us and outside toys like chalk for Tutu.
Evenings...
Around the evening after we cook ( my husband and I take turns) we start to wind down from the day. Of course Tutu is still full of energy and we usually face time all her grandparents and titi's and make sure everyone is doing ok. We also take turns with tutu's nighttime routine and depending who's turn it is I usually workout and finish and work from the day I couldn't finish. My husband escapes and relaxes with video games and once we are done doing our own individual thing we watch TV together until about midnight. We usually alternate between two shows or a movie.
