How to Do It All (And Still Forget What Day It Is)






  1. A Day in My Life

My typical day starts at 5:00 a.m.

Either my alarm or my husband wakes me. First thing I do is wake up our eldest son — he’s in the morning school session. After a quick stretch, I head out to hang the laundry while my husband prepares breakfast. We usually only have a cup of coffee to start the day.

By 5:15 a.m., our eldest is still dozing on the sofa, so I wake him again. By now, breakfast is ready.

5:30 a.m. – He goes to shower, and my husband and I catch up for a few minutes before I take my turn. I usually do the dishes first, then get myself ready.

By 5:55 a.m., our son is all dressed and putting on his shoes. My husband is strict — he drives him to school at 6:00 a.m. sharp to avoid the traffic.

6:20 a.m. – My husband’s back. School’s just 2 km away.

6:45 a.m. – We wake the other two boys, and then he sends me to work.

12:45 p.m. – My husband fetches our eldest from school, then picks me up. We have lunch together at home.

1:45 p.m. – I return to work.

4:30 p.m. – Work’s done.

4:50 p.m. – Home again. My husband picks up our second son while I rest for 10 minutes, then start my 45-minute workout. Meanwhile, he starts preparing dinner.

6:20 p.m. – The kids have showered. My husband’s still cooking.

7:15 p.m. – We all have dinner together.

8:30 p.m. – I wash the dishes and do laundry while he rests with the kids.

9:00 p.m. – We take turns showering.

9:30 p.m. – Lights out.

I don’t always know what day it is. But I know I lived it fully.

To strength, sweat, and showing up every day —

Finding power in motherhood and muscle
