A Day in the Life

October 10, 2018

It’s been a while since I’ve shared a day in the life photos. I actually took pictures for this project quite a few months ago, but never shared them… which is so typical in this season with three young kids and a full-time job. A hint of my personality and my passions always lurks beneath the surface, such as my desire to document and even remembering to snap a few photos, but the demands of my children, my work, and generally managing our home often stifle my ability to fully execute — in this case, culling, curating, editing and sharing those photos…

But today I am finally sharing these photos that give a glimpse of our life over the past six months or so. Some things never change… unloading the dishwasher, folding laundry, picking up toys. Some things are new but here to stay… Magna-Tiles, Talitha being fully potty-trained, coloring at the kitchen table all day long. Somethings are fleeting and have already passed by — nursing Eisley and her clogged tear duct that hung around for over a year.

Zianne celebrated her fifth birthday a few weeks ago, so I can no longer say I have three kids under the age of five. These pictures are evidence of that sweet and overwhelming season. This is also the longest we have lived in a house since moving to California, so I’m glad I captured a bit of our home now that we feel a bit settled here.

About Jen Russum

Hi. I’m Jen Russum and this blog is where I’ve been sharing narratives of God’s grace for more than a decade now. Some might say “blogs are dead” but I’m waiting for them to come back around like mom jeans and 90s flannel. I enjoy my coffee iced, my summers hot, and my dinner parties long with lots of laughter. I process all of life’s deepest, darkest, and happiest moments by writing essays in my head. When I have the time, some of these essays get typed up and shared here. I’ve always loved to write, and I hope my words bring you joy and encouragement.
