It’s been awhile since I’ve done a schedule related post. Here’s my last day in the life post from May of 2019 (oh how things have changed!).
Rather than do a day in the life post from a specific day, I thought I’d share what our current general schedule is looking like these days. I’m not sharing this schedule because it’s amazing and working really well for us, I’m sharing it because it feels kind of terrible!
Read MoreI have been busy behind the scenes and have two big updates for you!
First… I have a mailing list! Which feels like a huge deal to me… not really that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things, but it makes this space feel so much more official. You can sign up for it on the main page: www.toddleronthetenuretrack.com. As a thank you for signing up, you’ll also get a 7 step guide that I put together for planning a tantrum free (ha!) academic year.

If you follow me on instagram you may have seen my post in January with a quote from Ellie where she asked, “Mama, are you still sad?” Given the “fun” that day started off with, I decided to track my time. It was my first day back to work after taking one official week off for winter break (which is always rough), plus working from home the week before that. Mixed with a really early wake-up call from Ellie, we had a bit of a rough day. Here’s how it went…
Read MoreI love a good schedule... something about seeing how people plan out their days is so interesting to me (perhaps I need more exciting things to do with my life)!
Read MoreBefore I delve into our how of academic life with a toddler, I think it’s important to give you some context about what life looks like for us (so you can decide whether or not our experiences are similar to your situation).
