7am:

Barrett wakes up chomping at the bit for a bottle. Landry catches wind in no time and soon we have a party of four in bed with Caillou streaming in the background.

8am:

The Nespresso machine is humming while I whip together Mickey Mouse shaped blueberry pancakes (Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is king in our house). Meanwhile, Barrett is zipping around the kitchen in his walker like a mad man.

9am:

Off for a walk in the Graco Ready2Grow double stroller to feed the ducks at Lakeside Park. Landry loves to stuff bread in her sparkly purple crossbody bag from Baby Bliss. Barrett passes out for a solid hour snooze.

10:30am:

Michael feeds Barrett the pureed version of last night’s dinner (spaghetti squash with ground turkey and tomatoes is a standby). Landry loves a messy art project so we head to the playroom for some finger paint and glitter fun.

11:30am:

Bathtime. The kids love to bathe together, especially when water toys and bubbles are involved.

12:30pm:

We’re nearing the witching hour so we opt for a quick kid-friendly lunch. Snuffers (best turkey burger and cheese fries) and La Duni (Latin joint with killer desserts) are faves. If there’s a flea market or festival in town, we go there for some fair food and market research for my business.

1:30pm:

The kids hit the hay at home. Michael watches football (go Longhorns!) while I catch up on client emails, the latest Elle Décor or stack of home catalogs. If it’s nice out, we’re in the cabana playing Gin Rummy with a cocktail.

3pm:

Michael and Barrett catch the second half of a football game while I take Landry to a play date or the park. We love Fairfax Park for its big shady trees and multiple swings. Landry is obsessed with swings so it’s nice that there’s almost always one free.

4pm:

Time for a Yumilicious frozen yogurt. Landry loves to top her vanilla-chocolate swirl with strawberries, rainbow sprinkles, and a pink animal cracker. I run by the grocery store in the same center for a few things to whip together dinner.

5pm:

We entertain at home several times a month. Landry helps me make queso, guacamole, and taco soup while Michael preps the bar (Barrett is usually in his turquoise Bumbo happily observing the chaos). Landry loves to help me set the table and cut palm fronds from the backyard for a simple centerpiece.

6pm:

Our friends arrive with their brood. The kids enjoy the Little Tikes Shady Jump ‘n Slide bounce house outside while the parents sip on jalapeno margaritas.

9pm:

We bid adieu to our buds, dress Landry and Barrett in their Old Navy zipper onesies, and put the kiddos to bed. It’s a good hour later than usual, but hey, it’s the weekend.

9:30pm:

We slip into our pajamas, pour a nightcap, and turn on a movie since we rarely get to the theater these days. Within the hour, one of us is usually asleep on the sofa.
