Week in the Life 2020 | Sunday Photos + Words

I slept in until 9 o’clock because we stayed up so late watching Transformers:Dark of the Moon. Of course I started my day with coffee. I also watched gocleanco on Instagram stories and now I’m so pumped to clean. LOL!




Around 10-ish I made breakfast. Riggs slept until 11-ish so I made him pizza and then I cleaned the kitchen. Again.



Starting tomorrow, I am having a week where I deep clean my house. To prep for that I cleaned up the handheld Dyson vacuum cleaner. The brush head was so gross, but I got it spinning!



Before I knew it, it was 3:30 PM. I was hungry! I heated up some leftovers and watch TV for a while.



After some rest I set up my tripod pod and recorded a couple of flip through videos, one for my smash book and one for my pandemic journal.





After that I pretty much spent the rest of the day relaxing in my room watching TV and looking at social media.

Today I set my alarm for 7 AM, because I need to get up and wash dishes. It’s nail appointment day!!! I haven’t been to the nail salon since March 14. Of course I got up a little early because you know I have to start my day with my coffee.




When I got to my nail appointment and checked in I found out that Oklahoma is in phase 2 of re-opening. So masks were not required. I kind of wish they were though, but anyway my nails look amazing!




When I got home I had leftovers for lunch. I played Nintendo switch with Riggs for a little bit. Then I spent a couple of hours just kind of looking through my craft supplies, pictures and worked in my pandemic journal.


After that, it was time for rest. I napped and watched Psych, really I just napped but I did turn on Psych.

The next couple of hours were filled with cooking dinner and eating dinner and then somehow I found my way to watching some cleaning videos. I look forward to trying some of this out when I clean my house next week!



After dinner I worked another couple of hours in my pandemic journal. It is coming along so well. I shared my progress with Riggs and then with Ricky, both of them seem to enjoy flipping through the journal.



Like I have every day, I’m closing out the evening with the blog post and then I’m gonna watch some TV in bed.

I had a leisurely morning having coffee with Ricky. We have been spending our time together watching Top Shot. He headed out to work on the farm, and I ordered my teacher planner. After much excitement and watching for the Rad and Happy teacher planner I decided to go with the classic size Happy Planner teacher planner.



I knew I had grocery pickup today, so I got my workout in - that’s 5 days in a row! 👏👏👏 I showered and dressed for the day, made a shake, and did some journaling. Since we’ve been home social distancing I have been letting Riggs pick out his own clothes. He’s been doing a pretty good job!






Riggs and I left to pick up our grocery order. It rained the entire time. When we got home we stayed in the truck until there was a break in the rain and then we made a dash for it.



I had leftovers for lunch and watched Psych. While on Instagram I saw that Heidi Swapp launched a new memory planning class. I’ve already learned so much from her about scrapbooking, but using a planner is where my heart is at. The class is called Stop the Blur, and I am here for it.




I prepped dinner early. I wasn’t all that hungry but I knew it could be heated up for later. 

I tried to nap, but of course my prince son couldn’t let that happen. I am so tired of it.

I moved from the living room to the bedroom and finished my nap. After that I moved back to the living room and watched Top Shot with Ricky. I ended the day writing today’s words and adding photos.

My alarm went off for me to go walk at 6:30, but it was raining. I made coffee and went back to bed and slept until 10. It was so great! I’m still really sore and the extra rest was nice. When I finally got up I grabbed my coffee and made my way back to the bed. I watched Psych and wrote in my journal.



Around 11:00 I got dressed (in my walking clothes), made a shake, and headed to school. We have to check out this week.




I spent a few hours at school getting my documentation in order, and I’m officially checked out for summer!!! But really, I have to close out my classroom and lab, but they are being painted and cleaned. So I will go back when the maintenance crew moves out.




I made my way back home around 2 o’clock. I watched Top Shot with Ricky while I had lunch and placed my grocery order.

4 PM - I made myself another shake, and listened to the crime junkie podcast as I cleaned the kitchen and prepped dinner.




5:30 - I laid down to rest and watch Psych. Following that we had dinner and watched some more Top Shot.



8:00 - Riggs and I went for a walk. My favorite part of that was when Riggs pointed out new pink flowers on the side of the road. He picks me the tiny purple ones and the red ones all the time. It was neat to see him notice the new pink ones. There were only a few so we decided to leave them and let them grow.




I ended the night learning the Affinity Photo app. I want to learn how to print 4x8 photos for my travelers notebook. I can also use this app for digital scrapbooking. I’ll use it with Ali’s Hybrid class. After I write the blog post I’ll settle in and watch some tv in bed.

Week in the Life 2020 | Wednesday Photos + Words

I slept in until 8:20 today. I got up, made coffee, and laid back down until 9 o’clock. Riggs likes to watch his iPad for a little bit when he wakes up. Ricky was playing NBA 2K. While I had my coffee this morning, I looked at my school checkout list. I have to check out by Friday. On another note I shopped for notebooks because the one that I’m currently writing in is almost full. I have settled on a dingbats notebook. I can choose the inside to be lined, it has a pen loop, bookmark, elastic band, and a pocket in the back. It’s perfect!





I decided to make brunch for us today. I made biscuits, sausage gravy, and scrambled eggs for Ricky and I. Riggs preferred to have Eggo waffles!



After brunch I was going to shop for some clothes but Dillards is still closed. So instead I rested while the boys played the Nintendo switch.

From 1 o’clock to 3 o’clock today I had a crafty time session. I spent most of it going through and reading and replying and posting on the awesome ladies project website!



It was time for a screen time break. So Riggs and I played trolls world tour Uno. It was his first time to play and he really liked it!



After cards I did my workout for the day. It was so hard. Afterwards I made a protein shake for a post workout snack. Ricky left for the Wednesday night fishing tournament.



I rested again for about an hour, and then I made myself a yummy chef salad. I was so hungry I didn’t even think to get a pic until it was mostly gone.

I took an early shower and then spent some time trying to post a smash book flip through on my Instagram stories. The stories kept failing to upload so I just deleted them. I will set up my tripod later and do a proper flip through!



I am sore and tired from my workouts so I got Riggs in the bathtub early tonight. I’m blogging from bed and when I’m done here I’m going to watch a little TV to close out Wednesday.

Week in the Life 2020 | Tuesday Photos + Words


I don’t know why but I am struggling getting this post written, but I think I’ve figured it out. Yesterday I wrote my words first, then I added my pictures. Today I’ve been trying to alternate between the two. I am going back to yesterday’s method...hello workflow! I love how you discover things when you do them.

My alarm went off at 6:30 this morning so I could meet a friend to walk at 7. As you can see the weather wasn’t cooperating. Hello isn’t this May?? I took advantage of the quiet time though. I drank my coffee, wrote in my journal, and watched videos on YouTube.




At around 8 AM I refilled my coffee cup and sat down at my laptop to work on grades because they are due today.



I worked in my pjs until 9 AM. I got dressed for the day (in my workout clothes) and made myself a smoothie. I’ve been enjoying these for breakfast and snacks the last couple of weeks. I sat down back to work.




Riggs has been staying up really late and sleeping really late. I looked up and it was almost 11 AM. So I took a break, woke him up and got his day started. And I sat back down to work.

At 1 PM I closed my laptop for the day. I was SO DONE. I had lunch with Ricky and Riggs. Ricky and I had bologna sandwiches and Riggs had a lunchable.




Ricky had to work at school and at the farm. I cleaned the kitchen. I listen to the Crime Junkie podcast when I‘m cleaning the kitchen to make the time go by faster.




At 2:30 I decided to knock out my workout for the day. I also filled out my Body Goals worksheet. Shannon stopped by with an early birthday present for me AND my Persnickety Prints came in AND my Heidi Swapp HSN order came in.

3:15 PM - Showered and dressed back in pjs. I was hungry so I made a shake to have as a snack. I relaxed/watched TV and Riggs watched his iPad.

5-7 Ricky called before I started dinner and we decided to go to Abuelitas for dinner. It’s only the second time I’ve been inside a restaurant since March. It was the first time for Riggs.



When we got back home Ricky and Riggs played NBA 2K. Ricky likes it, Riggs doesn’t. I spent this time adding some pictures to my Smashbook.



8:30 - We put on Top Shot. Riggs played games on his Switch. I’m working on this post. Figuring out my workflow and how to use Blogger the best I can.

See you back here tomorrow.
