A Day in the Life…

September 19, 2012

Well I’m going to do a day in the life, of a Tuesday with me and my girl.

Oria and I seem to have a weekly Tuesday routine.  We get up and slowly get ourselves out the door (usually that means coffee and smoothies).

We’re out the door by 10 am, we were this week for sure.  Then we hop on our bicycle and ride the 2 km from our house to the seawall for a lovely 15 minute ride to Granville Island.  We love it here, because there are entertainers, pidgeons, good food and variety, and of course Granville Island Tea (they make the best masala chai in town).

We spend a couple hours on the island, which include our cup of tea, usually iced rooibos for Oria and chai for me.  Then we enjoy a $2 crepe (thank you Toonie Tuesdays), and a pidgeon feeding and run about.  After many tourists photograph my super adorable non fearful child, we take a small bike ride over to the playground to get out any excess energy before making our trek home.

We’re home by 12:15, in time for some lunch, this week was a hard boiled egg, raw carrots, cheese and a plum.

Nap time at 12:45 until 3.  Break for mom.

Up at 3 and spend a little time around the house before heading out on a walk about and trip to the local Tea Swamp Park.

This week was nice because my cousin Cotty surprised us for a little visit at Tea Swamp, so we spent an extra long time there visiting and playing. 

Home by 6:30 for dinner.  Eat a late dinner, skipped bath time and Oria was in bed by 8:15.  

I wasn’t far behind:)
