There is a quietude to Sunday evenings.
Here are some moments of my Sunday evening routine:
*Tidying up the kitchen after Simon's Sunday meal. note: I love how he cooks on weekends and I, during the week. It works with our schedules.
*Margot's earlier bedtime routine.
*Making lunches: chopping veggies, steaming broccoli (my lunch for Monday and Tuesday. I add grated cheese and pop it in the microwave for the cheese to melt. An easy lunch that makes me happy!)
*Organizing Margot's things for school: her class folder, her washed blankets, her lunchbox. I even lay out her snowsuit, mitts and hat by the front entrance. note: she picks her clothes before going to bed.
*Organizing my things in my work bag (marking folders, wallet, phone) Car keys nearby.
*Sometimes watching an episode of a show on Netflix. (We started watching Broadchurch a few days ago).
*Tucking into bed a bit earlier to catch up on a bit of reading. Delightful!
It's nice to have a slower pace on Sunday evenings. Once the work week begins, it quickens and we sometimes lose track of that Jazz and Candle soundtrack of Sunday evening.
I love Sunday evenings because it's the one night of the week that's guaranteed family time, you know you'll all be safely tucked up at home :)

Much of late Sundays are devoted to quiet preparations in our home too. I also love the final hour or two after Asher goes to bed, as I can usually spend that reading alongside with Rich on the couch, or catching up on a tv show or two. Just really relaxed time.

P.S. You eat just a plate of steamed broccoli with cheese on it for lunch?? Much respect :)
P.P.S. I love the idea of the Sunday evening "jazz and candle" soundtrack. What a lovely evocation of mood.
It's nice to have a bit of breathing room before the craziness of the week takes over.
DeleteLove the Jazz and Candle soundtrack notion....sigh, it's Wednesday and long gone for us! I've mostly been a 'Friday I'm in love' kind of gal, but I think Sunday's allure is on the rise! Great post!
