our barn/office - love this space!
Ever wonder what a mommy blogger does on the day her book launches into the world?
Here's my day in the life from last Monday...as seen through my iPhone photos:
8:45 am - Give the kids breakfast, all the while answering questions like "Are we going to have a party to celebrate your book?" and "Will there be cake at this party?" and "What kind of cake?" (You know, the important things to sort out.)
9 am - Head to my office (aka the barn) to work for the morning. Steve worked from home so that I could have extra focused work time.
9-12: Work on several posts for the week, respond to emails, lots of social media time on Twitter & Facebook chatting about #mindsetformoms
12 pm - Starting to feel brain dead from too much screen time; Head back inside for lunch with Steve and the kids.
1 pm - Feel the need for a change of scenery.
1:30 pm - Enjoying an offline break at the library. I browse and check out plenty of new books to read to the kids.
2:30 pm - Arrive at my other office (aka Starbucks). Treat myself to a blueberry muffin just because! Check email and begin other book promotion/post writing/ social media stuff.
3:30 pm - Check in on Amazon to find the above! Call Steve to share and do an inner happy dance.
5:30 pm - Arrive home and become a popular mama when I unveil my surprise load of new books.
6 pm - Sit down to a dinner of spaghetti with broccoli that Steve made (love that man!)
8 pm - Before the kids go to bed we enjoy a fire in our 200-year-old fireplace.
And there you have it--a simple, wonderful day in this mama's life.
Speaking of the book, I'm happy to announce the winner of the mind-body-spirit giveaway:
