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.

Putting away last nights dishes

Lunchboxes made with some Vegemite and Cheese Scrolls and pumpkin scones I had in the freezer for a day like today, haven’t been shopping

Doing the girls hair, ready for school

Second hairstyle done, simple plait

IMG_0610

Dressed in my gym gear, no makeup and hair is awful, but I don’t dress up for the gym, I’m ok with this look

IMG_0619

Now the mundane jobs, make bed

IMG_0623

Getting the most out of my husbands old thongs. This mismatched pair are my laundry thongs so I don’t go outside bare foot

IMG_0625

Washing hung out

IMG_0632

Another load on ready to hang out when I get back from the gym

School drop off time

IMG_0665

Thinking about my early morning bootcamp sessions next week and thought I’d quickly pick up some long workout pants to keep warm

IMG_0669

Made it to the gym

IMG_0671

2.5 km is that all, I’m pooped that’s it for me today, it’s my day off after all!

IMG_0676

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.

IMG_0696

Baking a coconut yoghurt cake for the kiddies afternoon tea. No kids home I can lick the spoon, it’s good!!

IMG_0699

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

IMG_0704

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

IMG_0733

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

IMG_0742

Making a banana smoothie

IMG_0746

This was yum, totally bloggable said the kiddies!!

IMG_0748

Perfect way to end the day, dinner and chick flick with my bestest friend.

My best friend Sarah, we’ve been friends since we were 9

IMG_0767

Totally love Mexican, I can only eat 2 of the 4 of these quesadillas

IMG_0768

At the movies, about to watch The Other Woman. Got a coffee only because I forgot to have one this afternoon, and we plan on going out afterwards so I need some caffeine to stay awake

IMG_0773

OMG funniest movie… The Other Woman. Loved it

IMG_0776

Max Brenners… ooh yes I did, no way will I eat all this

IMG_0780

Couldn’t eat it all, I’m done
