so I've chosen to work and it's so great
that I am blessed to have that choice
because a lot of people don't get that
but you know the negative side of me
thinks like you could stay home with
your son and you're choosing to be away
from him are you a bad mom good
morning
it's Danielle welcome to my channel it
is a Tuesday morning and I thought I'd
do a day in the life of a working mom on
a regular old weekday so it's 7:10 I'm
about ready to head into work I'll show
you what I've got going on I'll be
triple fisting it in my car so I have
some French press coffee that I made a
green smoothie it's spinach frozen
banana frozen strawberries chocolate
protein powder and whole milk in my
water bottle and then I am packing some
stuff in my son's lunch bags but for me
I've got kale salad leftovers from last
night a Clementine hummus and carrot and
I just forgot I'll grab it
um maybe I'll show you later but we have
a bunch of chicken so I'm going to bring
a container and I'll probably just eat a
couple pieces and save the rest for
tomorrow at at work all right running a
bit behind schedule but off to work I
think two of the ways motherhood has
changed me the most is I be on time and
now I'm always late and I used to always
wear heels and now I were flat but let's
see I have it's usually about a
40-minute commute maybe 35 to 50
depending on traffic but it is
Construction season um I usually listen
to
MPR Minnesota Public Radio radio or
Pandora so kind of nice just to chill
and drive I usually take my son to
daycare it's kind of a weird day but my
husband is this morning and I didn't
even get a chance to see my son because
he's still sleeping but it's good for
him to get as much sleep as possible so
I will head to work and catch you when I
get there
all right traffic was super good
actually
um I'm usually the first to work I am
today as well and that's kind of nice
because I can just sit down and get
ready so I use my paper plump planner I
have a couple of videos a few videos on
this but my top bar is appointments
whether for work or personal I'm a
chiropractor tonight I have a busy day I
think there's some more meetings here I
a big part of my job is recruiting and
we have a bunch of open positions so I
have some interviews and then that's an
alert for one of them a leadership
meeting so a busy day and this is where
I do my work to-do lists
kind of messed up and did it here I try
to do this the night before before I
leave the office so I get here and I
kind of know what to do so I don't have
a ton that I want to get done today
because I know that these meetings are
going to take the main majority of the
day so I have an interview in 15 minutes
so I'm just going to review her resume
and then go about my day but sidebar I
posted my meal haul yesterday and I had
to go to Target this week I usually go
to Aldi and I've been loving it and all
my family is like yeah Aldys cheap but
their produce goes bad right away so I
got the organic spinach at Target for
double the price and it is already bad
two days later I should really take it
back but sometimes it just seems like
more effort so I am a big fan of all D
is the
hoho the story all right I'll catch you
guys later
I now know that my office lighting is
terrible my lady at the interview this
morning was a no-show I don't understand
that but it does happen every once in a
while so I just thought I'd take one
second
my son's daycare has an app and they
update us throughout the day like what a
what he's doing they'll even send some
pictures sometimes and I think that's so
neat the mom guilt thing is real I feel
guilty a lot for not being with him all
the time while I'm at work so it's just
really nice for me to feel connected and
to sneak into a little part or a big
part of his day and to be able to talk
to him at the end of the day and kind of
get a get a heads up and be in the know
of what he was up to so that's pretty
cool hey guys it's about one o'clock I
typically work out really quickly on my
lunch break I am the kind of person who
needs to step away during the middle of
the day and instead of going out to eat
spending a lot of money I just prefer to
get some energy out of the gym I only do
10 or 15-minute workouts
um so I am in and out of their workout
shower get back to my desk in less than
an hour the gym is really close which is
nice I believe by the time this video
uploads
I'll have already put out my May
workouts video so I'll link that in the
cards but today I did a treadmill
workout an interval workout I jogged or
I ran hard for 30 seconds then walked
for 30 seconds and I just did ten
minutes today because I'm pretty busy um
yeah so I am back I am halfway through
my salad I'll show you guys bad I
decided to go meatless so this is
leftovers from last night my husband got
it it is a kale salad with craisins
shredded carrots
lima beans and garbanzo beans it is so
good I am in between um some meetings I
think my 1:30 is going to be pushed back
so I am going to I have about 200
resumes to go through and that is not my
favorite thing to do so I'm going to use
this timer that I got and we actually
bought these for our whole team members
but there's four different sides 15
minutes 30 minutes 60 minutes and 15
minutes and you just flip over the side
that you want and then it beeps and
it'll go off in that time allotment so
I'm going to sped it for 30 minutes and
get through as many resumes as possible
I love doing this kind of stuff I do it
at home with cleaning and things and you
can use your iPhone time or anything I
kind of like this little dice timer
because it sits on my desk and is kind
of a visual reminder to use my time
wisely but can't do it
oh he's planting new flower this is
little plants in it it is strawberry
what you can eat oh my word I got up
soon I'm a foot me king whoo did you
have a good day at school today yeah
what was the best part um any no huh
that's my best part - you want frozen
strawberries but you want them to be
cooled down yeah oh you want me to warm
them up okay I'll show you which one of
those I wanted at Target yeah mom
working mom hack I have a washing
machine that was to delayed a start
so on a laundry day I put my load in the
night before at around 8 p.m. and I
delay at 20:00 hours so it starts around
4:00 and then by the time I get home
it's ready to be
transfer to the dryer I used to just
wait until the morning to do it so I
could get all you know of our PJs in
there but I'm just too busy in the
morning and I'd forget and it'd be a big
pain so if I add the PJs in in the
morning
great and if not we'll get them next
time so I'm going to transfer this to
the dryer and to be honest I'm probably
going to fold in tomorrow thank you
where'd you go
our first veggie garden
hey guys I had a great day at work today
I just got a ton done and I don't know
if anyone can relate but it seems like
on days that I'm really busy I get more
done even though I'm so busy I think
because you get into the mode you get
momentum and also time is more precious
you just have to plan better so I love
days like today and I did my to-do list
for tomorrow before I left the office
and tomorrow's a super busy day as well
so that's awesome
I got adjusted for my chiropractor on
the way home um my son was home when I
got home he showed some footage of that
sounds like he had a great day and my
husband is it called chilled of the
garden I'm new at this
um when you got the garden already and
bought the plants that we had plan on
and it's out there planting them all
which was a huge surprise I am so
excited let me know if you want a garden
video series we moved in this house late
last summer so it's our first summer
here there's a huge existing vegetable
garden and we love to eat so we're super
excited and a little nervous because we
don't know what we're doing so I am
going to make some dinner leftovers and
just hang out with my son before it's
time for his nighttime routine um just
lastly I kind of wanted to talk about
the working mom guilt thing um I love my
job I feel fulfilled I like to think
that I'm pretty good at it um but it is
hard to be away and to know that my
son's in Jake here all day long and we
could definitely make it work on my
husband's salary there for sure be some
major sacrifices but um we could easily
make it work which is kind of a
two-edged sword on one hand I am so
fortunate to get to decide like I don't
have to stay at home I don't have to
work and so I've chosen to work and it's
so great that I am blessed to have that
choice because a lot of people
well don't get that but you know the
negative side of me thinks like you
could stay home with your son and you're
choosing to be away from him like are
you a bad mom is are you choosing your
own happiness and financial success over
his well-being so it's just hard to just
have those negative thoughts weigh on me
but I just have to trust that we've made
the right decision for our family and
kind of just reassess
you know I've seasons change
so anyways um I hope you enjoyed this
video if you did give it a thumbs up and
that lets me know that maybe I should
try more of these leave a comment below
