Week In The Life™ 2016 | Sunday Words & Photos

We have reached the end of another Week In The Life™ documentation period. 

Thank you so much for being a part of the journey this year. I'm getting excited about collecting all my content and bringing it together with a kit into my album. My plan is to start working on it later this week. 

Please remember that there is no right or wrong way to put your own album together. 

Sunday's are almost always my lightest photo days and this year was no exception. All the photos taken today were with my iPhone. I'm cool with that as a way to wind down the week of intense photo taking. I know for sure that I will wake up on Monday morning and feel like I should be doing something because now I'm just in the habit of taking photos more often once again. 

Here's a look at my Sunday:

This almost never happens: coffee + paper in bed. 

Aaron was here and he was still sleeping so I went downstairs and fed the animals and made myself a cup of coffee and got the paper and got back in bed. I loved that. While we were sitting there we created a plan for our day which included Costco, exercise and then dinner out. 

We don't usually get this much uninterrupted time alone together, especially on a weekend, so it was savored. 

For me Sundays when the kids are with Chris are usually the day where I get ready for the week ahead. That might include meal planning, grocery shopping, finishing up the laundry, etc. I like how it sets me up for  a calm week. 

We stopped at Jamba Juice on the way to Costco where we leisurely went up and down each and every aisle seeing what there was to see. Today there was a lot of people watching to be done as it was packed. I don't usually go to Costco on the weekends but it worked out with our schedule today and my need to stock up before the kids get home after school tomorrow. 

After Costco I unpacked all the stuff into the kitchen and panty, moved laundry around and then stared a new workout program using the Sweat With Kayla app. 

It was rough. 

I am super out of shape and this needs to happen so I'm going to make it happen. After that I went for a 3-mile walk along my normal neighborhood route. 

What in the heck is this you might be asking? This is how I take off my gel manicure if I'm not getting it done again right away. It kinda worked. My nails need a break again. Aaron helped me do the last three fingers. 

We decided to have an early dinner of happy hour sushi at one of our local favorites (Izumi). 

And then we hit the grocery store for a couple more things I need for the week before the kids get back. The rest of the evening was spent lounging and movie watching. 

I actually love this kind of low-key, get ready for the week Sunday.
