06:00: Wake up and head straight into the shower for a quick refresh
06:10 - 06:30: Get dressed (clothes are prepped the night before), do hair and makeup.
06:30 - 06:45: Make a cuppa, sort the kids’ breakfast, and feed the animals.
06:45 - 07:30: Wake the children and get them moving.
07:30 - Open laptop to check the day ahead while the kids potter about. I usually prep the slow cooker around this time (about three times a week); my husband handles dinner on the other days.
08:00: School drop-off, then drive to work.
08:30 - 16:30: Workday.
Evening Routine:
17:00 - 18:00: Back home. Catch up with the children, check homework, and dish up dinner. We eat together with no devices - proper conversation time.
18:00 - 19:00ish: Depending on the day, one of us handles sports clubs while the other takes the dog for a walk.
19:00 - 20:30: Bedtime routine for the children, followed by a cuppa with my husband. I lay out clothes for the next day, have a quick shower, and change into pyjamas.
20:30 onwards: Possibly some ironing (I enjoy listening to an Audible book while doing it – makes it feel more like a hobby).
Around 21:00: Ideally in bed, though if ironing’s on the go, I’ll happily stay up a bit later.
Extras & Self-Care:
I get my nails done every three weeks on a Saturday.
Full-body wax every few weeks on a Thursday evening – my waxer is amazing and gets it all done in 40 minutes.
Hair wash and blowdry happens on Sunday and Thursday nights, so the schedule shifts a little then.
I generally sleep well, have the help of a cleaner, and aside from my hour-long evening dog walks, I don’t do much in the way of exercise.
