    Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays are the days that Baby Dear is whisked off to daycare bright and early in the morning. These are also the days where I can run errands, get most of my freelance work done and enjoy a cuppa 'Joe with my feet up until 3 in the afternoon. Tuesdays and Thursdays, we take it easy and have fun by going to the library for story time, watching a lot of Disney Jr., and just playing and doing mundane things around the house!

    Of course, no two days of mine are ever alike. Here is just a glimpse of what my Monday looked like this week:

    7:45 - Drove Baby Dear off to daycare.
    8:45-9:45 - Headed to the gym and worked out for an hour while watching CityLine.
    10:00 - Took a shower, made the bed, started a load of laundry and prepared breakfast.
    10:30-1:30 - Sat down to a working breakfast while catching up on emails and other blog related things on my to-do list.
    1:30 - Made a quick bite to eat from last night's leftovers and watched some Food TV.
    2:00-3:00 - Quick clean up around the house, another load of laundry, checked on emails and a to-do list for tomorrow.
    3:00-4:00 - Sat down to my afternoon cup of coffee with some delicious homemade chocolate-oatmeal cookies, while I worked on a few blog posts for the upcoming week.
    4:00-4:30 - Prepped for dinner.
    4:45 - Off to pick up Baby Dear while battling the crazy weather!
    5:30 - Finally home, changed into jammies and settled Baby Dear with his toys while I prepped his dinner.
    6:30 - Fed Baby Dear his dinner of Spinach Parathas, Dal and Baingan Bharta.
    6:45-7:30 - Snuggled on the couch with Baby Dear; he watches some TV and I read a new cookbook I just received in the mail.
    7:30 - Hubby Dear swoops in, Baby Dear jumps to greet his daddy and follows him upstairs to get changed while I heat up dinner and set it on the table.
    8:00 - We all sit down to a family dinner. Yes, Baby Dear is on dinner #2!
    8:30-9:30 - Hubby Dear and Baby Dear are whisked away from the kitchen and spend some quality play time while I clean up the kitchen, pack Hubby Dear's lunch for tomorrow and run the dishwasher. I almost never turn off the lights until my kitchen counters and sink are empty and clean - makes starting off the next morning so much more peaceful!
    9:30 - We're off upstairs to read Baby Dear his bed time story and tuck him in.
    9:45 - We drag our feet to bed. Hubby Dear does a final check on his emails for the night and I catch up on some TV or Youtube. We both then pick up our reading material of choice, he's currently on a Sherlock Holmes kick and I go through my never-ending blog feeds. Within minutes, it's lights off!

    Wow! Just typing that out makes me want to take a nap. But it's Wednesday today - Baby's day out and Mommy's day to attend her weekly cooking class. It'll probably be mid-afternoon by the time I'm home and not much time left to prep a big dinner before I have to leave to pick up my tiny tot.

    Days like these are perfect for a quick one-pot meal that's got a little of everything in it. This Corn Fried Rice with Shrimp is what's for our dinner tonight. This is a very easy breezy recipe that hardly takes anytime at all and can be put together in minutes - perfect when you have tons of leftover rice. I can't even remember how many times I've made this recipe at the end of a long tiring day. And it never fails to please me!

    So tell me, what do you feed your family on a busy day?

    Serve this Shrimp Fried Rice with some Chilli Potatoes, Gobi Manchurian, or Chilli Chicken for a scrumptious Hakka-style meal!
