A day in the life of The Connected Family

The fall, Sunday edition with an 8-, 6-, and 3-year-old

So far we’ve covered a spring workday day-in-the-life, a summer workday day-in-the-life (with kids around!), and today I’m bringing you a fall, weekend edition! The tiny details of the lives of people I care about never get old to me — I could talk to you for hours about what you eat for breakfast or how you handle bedtime or when you squeeze in your reading — and I suspect TCF readers might feel the same. I hope this glimpse into our mostly restful, imperfectly low-tech, and thoroughly ordinary day of family time sparks something for you.

And psst: thank you again to my paid subscribers! You make it possible (and still engaging and fun!) to write with a little more privacy, and for that I’m grateful.

7:52am I swim to the surface and note John doing Wordle beside me in bed. The next thing I register is that my legs are sore from working out yesterday. (This is what happens when your workouts are less frequent than you’d like and so you try to really make them count when you do them, ha.)
