Ordinary Friday in a life as a homebaker and a mother.
I wake up with a heavy head. Yushin didn’t sleep well so as a result neither I.
“Is it time to go downstairs?” He asks. I check the time, 05.55. “It is” I tell him.
I turn on the oven. During the hours that follow I combine baking with breakfast making and lunch box prepping.
Take some painkillers to ease the headache.
I add the final touches to the sweet treats; chocolate, sprinkles and flowers.
09.00, the work is done but I still need to get ready. I text the playschool to say we will be a little late today.
Feed the hens, get ready, double check all the orders, ignore the mess in the kitchen, put Yushin in the car. “Ready to go” I say. “but we forgot my lambovini!” Luckily I find it quickly in the messy floor. Back outside. Look up at the sky, it’s blue and the sun is coming through! Wonderful.
Drop Yushin to playschool, I get one hug and two kisses today.
Deliver the orders to all my lovely costumers. This is the best part of workweek, seeing your smiling faces and exchange a few words. I love to hear what you’ve been up to. And I forget all about my headache.
I have time for a little walk through town and some shopping before it’s time to collect Yushin.
Headache comes back. Afternoon is spent making lunch, cleaning the kitchen, playing with cars, let the floor get messy again.. Manage to squeeze in a power nap to the sound of Paw patrol. Head feels lighter.
Collect Alma and her friends from school. Do the baking prep for tomorrow. Make a sourdough starter and custard. Have time for a quick coffee.
Take the girls to dance class. Once back home, myself and the boys make tacos. They set the table and prepare the meat while I make the rest.
Taco-Friday. The whole family is gathered and I can let my shoulders down. I love these moments.
Tidy up then make a small batch of strawberry jam.
And here I am now. Yushin has just fallen a sleep and I will soon get to sit down in my favourite chair and watch that Swedish program I love so much. No red wine today, but I will have some of that deluxe Danish liquorice.
Wishing you all a lovely evening and weekend❤️
