A day in the life of The Organised Housewife’s day off

a day in the life of The Organised Housewifes day off

A few weeks ago I came home from the last filming of the Win the Organised Housewife for a day Competition.  I was exhausted so I decided to take the day off work (blogging) which is really rare on a school day, I’m home alone!!  In all my wisdom I also decided to share what my ‘work day off’ looks like.  I shared a day in the life of The Organised Housewife’s day off via Instagram.  I didn’t have anything exciting planned but just wanted to give you a glimpse inside my little world.

Quick stop for some groceries I’ll make something yummy for the kids for afternoon tea

IMG_0679

Stopped to have a special mothers day moment with my mum. Miss her so much, I find Mother’s Day really hard to celebrate as she was taken from me and my brothers too soon

IMG_0691

Second load of washing out, now to freshen up and shower

IMG_0693

Finally coffee time, I’ve been waiting all morning for this… it’s currently 11am.

Lunch time, avocado, cheese, tomato and ham with cracked pepper on cruskits

Ooh dear, this isn’t good…on the couch catching up on Revenge while I eat lunch, this is very comfy and relaxing. I have a few episodes to catch up on

IMG_0711

I don’t do sitting still very well, I noticed by candles need a clean

IMG_0715

Wax drips

IMG_0720

Wax splatter all over the cabinet. My trick is to use the hair dryer on low speed high heat to melt the wax, then simply wipe away

IMG_0718

All clean, now for another episode of Revenge

IMG_0724

Snack time – Absolutely love this Gippsland yoghurt, it’s so yummy…not sure it’s too healthy, but I’m sure it’s better than a chocolate

IMG_0727

Cake is cooling

IMG_0729

Washing off line – I’ll fold it while I continue to watch Revenge. I can’t stop it’s drawn me in, love being behind in shows and spend a few hours catching up, it’s so rare to have this time though

IMG_0731

Washing folded – I’ll put mine away and leave the rest for the kids to put away when they get home

Coconut yoghurt cake with coconut ice icing, ready for kiddies coming home. Mr Organised picking them up from school. I might just finish off that revenge episode
