February 2018 Edition | The Big White Farmhouse

“The most extraordinary thing in the world is an ordinary man and an ordinary woman and their ordinary children.”

One of my 100 Little Things tasks this year was to complete a “Week in the Life” project like I did a few years ago. For whatever reason, that seems like a monumental task when combined with all of my other responsibilities, so I’m tweaking it into something new: a monthly Day in the Life. Ten photos throughout the day that show a peek into our extraordinarily ordinary life.

When I scribbled down this idea in my planner, I had no idea it would coincide with the most beautiful spring-like day in February: 75 degrees and sunny! We were about an hour into school when one of the kids asked, “Do you think we could have some recess and go outside?” How could I say no? We spent the rest of the morning riding bikes, swinging and playing basketball. After a fancy lunch of Ramen noodles and a salad for me, we had Quiet Hour while the baby napped (the big two and I read, the littler ones drew with Art for Kids). Then it was back outside! Add in a lot of laundry and a homemade blueberry pie and it was just the best day. The warm sun and fresh air were so good for all of us.
