I\u2019d love a wonderful sleep in&#8230; past 6am hehe, with a coffee in bed, and either a rainy, family movie day or a picnic in the sunshine! Two different ends of the scale!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Coffee or tea?<\/strong><br>Coffee, all the coffee.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Describe to us what a day in your life looks like<\/strong>.<br>A typical day with us is a wake up around 5-5.30am, cuddles while we all wake up, quiet play or TV until breakfast. Somewhere I fit a coffee in there, that usually ends up cold and reheated at least 3 times ha! Bath time and Otis will go down for a nap. Ari and I explore in the yard, ride bikes, paint or quietly play blocks (I say quietly but this is usually not the case and we\u2019ve woken Otis!) We have lunch at home or pack lunch and we\u2019ll go to the park or catch up with friends and have a play. Sometimes Otis naps in the afternoon, otherwise we hang out until dad gets home at 5.30pm walking in on bathtime and then bedtime routines!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/journal.bohemiantraders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/dearestchildren-2-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4473\" width=\"800\" height=\"1001\" srcset=\"https:\/\/journal.bohemiantraders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/dearestchildren-2-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/journal.bohemiantraders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/dearestchildren-2-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/journal.bohemiantraders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/dearestchildren-2-768x961.jpg 768w, https:\/\/journal.bohemiantraders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/dearestchildren-2.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>If you could be anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?<\/strong><br>If I could be anywhere, I\u2019d be on a snowy adventure with the boys!
