A Day in the Life with A Work-at-Home Mom Relying on Grace

I’m often asked what a typical day looks like in my house. The true answer? Each day is different and no two days look the same.

I think “typical days” are an illusion. As a work at home family, we try to stick to a regular routine, but rarely does that mean the days are “typical.” It’s life, right?

However, the day after launching the Fruit of the Spirit Curriculum for Toddlers I decided to document the day.

I documented the day as a part of my assignment from Keeper of the Home. Stephanie asked her contributors to share a “Day in the Life” post with her readers. I had procrastinated writing my post in hopes of documenting a “typical” day.

A “typical” day continued to elude me.

You see, I’m a stay-at-home-mom who works part-time from home. I work about 20 hours a week maintaining and growing Intentional By Grace.

I’m grateful for this little corner of the internet that I get to share with you, but I’m learning that the cost of being a work-at-home-mom can be steep at times. Sometimes I wonder if it’s worth it. Would it better to just have an office door I can close? Would it be better if I could be home and be all there? Will I ever figure out how to manage my time and not see all the areas I fail?

I don’t know. But I do know that it is in this limbo where grace makes all the more sense to me. Where grace becomes more beautiful, more grandiose.

Left to myself, I’m a mess. But His grace covers, and the day in my life I decided to share is a testament to His everyday grace.

To continue reading this post, head over to Keeper of the Home. I pulled my first ever all-nighter and still managed to get through the day.
