Monday was back to a normal school day routine. One of our favorite parts of the day is a bike ride to school with our daughters.
On this day, we made a quick meal of eggs and toast and then jumped on the bikes for the 1.7-mile ride. Our 8-year-old daughter rides her own bike, and our 6-year-old rides on a "trailer-bike" attached to mine.
I work from home. Occasionally, I visit one of our rental properties or do our real-estate bookkeeping. But property managers and subcontractors handle 99% of daily tasks in that business.
So, most of my professional time each day is spent creating content for my blog, podcast, YouTube channel, and online courses at Coachcarson.com. I also sometimes teach online classes during the lunch hour or in the evenings.
Kari's days vary between teaching one-on-one language classes, volunteering locally in the community, taking language classes herself (French at the moment!), and doing household tasks. This particular day was busy with household work for Kari.
First, she went on a grocery store run to Aldi. Because we had been gone for a week, it was a larger trip than usual. Sometimes we also drop in on farmers markets or other stores to buy a few other items.
After our children arrived home from school on the bus, Kari took our oldest daughter to piano lessons. While there, she paid our monthly bill of $130 to the teacher.
Kari also made a delicious dinner at home tonight. I washed dishes.
From there we helped the kids with showers, stories, and bedtime before getting ready for another day.
