Slow English Conversation about Daily Routine - Learn English with Camille (1)

Hola! Welcome back to my channel. I am here with one of my favorite people to film with,

my sister Jessica, who is visiting from the beautiful state of New Hampshire,

and we are going to do a video today talking about daily routine.

So I'm gonna share a bit of what my day looks like, she's gonna share a bit what her day

looks like, and then hopefully you'll get enough vocab and words to share what your day is like.

That's nice, yeah yeah. What is your favorite part of the day? Write it below in the comments,

I always love to hear from you, and so let's get started Jess. Okay yeah, hi everyone. Yes,

so are you a morning bird? Is that what it's called? Morning bird(early bird), I always

say I'm a night owl, oh yeah. Okay, so so I'm a morning bird(early bird) she's, I'm a night owl,

yes, which means I like to stay up late at night. And I like to, I don't necessarily like to get up

super early, but because of my children, I'm usually rudely awakened every morning by Kairo

yelling so loud, MOM, and he doesn't stop. He just yells it, yells it, until we go, so I feel

like I have to jolt out of bed in the morning, run to the room, take him out, and save him!

No really though, it's like he is just desperate to get out of is crib. He's your alarm clock,

yeah yeah. When I had littles, they were my alarm clock, so you're just forced into almost

their schedule. Yeah exactly, yeah so because of that I'm usually awake in the morning around

6:30 I would say. And Calvin and I do rotate, so he gets up one morning with the kids, I get up

the next morning. He'll take care of breakfast and then I can sleep a little later and then I do the

same for him. And that is super helpful, because when my kids were little, my husband's job did

not allow him to be home in the morning. So he was gone before I woke up or the kids woke up. Wow, so

once the kids were up, we were on a mission to get the day started, and they were busy, and morning

people, so. Yeah so I had to be ready. Yeah. Sometimes I would get them dried cereal in a cup

and a drink, and try to put on a cartoon, yeah and go lay back down in bed. Yeah, but usually

we had to start our day early, but it's different now, so my kids, they wake up, and they don't wake

me up. Yeah. So I can sleep, so usually I'll stay up late, so midnight, and then I like a good eight

hours of sleep, sometimes longer. I require a bit of sleep, so. Same! Sometimes I'm like I wish I

could survive on six hours and be good, but no. Yeah, my husband doesn't require as much sleep,

so he's good with six, seven hours. Wow that's amazing. I start to get run down if I don't

get a consistent eight to nine hours a night. Yes maybe it's in our blood, we just need sleep. Yeah

so when I wake up around that time, I make coffee, we make a french press every morning.

I get my kids something for breakfast, usually I do let them watch a cartoon or something, and

I will read. So I do some reading in the morning, and then I always do Duolingo, which is language,

and right now I'm doing French but from Italian, so i'm brushing up on my Italian and my French on

Duolingo. I do just 10 to 20 minutes every morning after a couple chapters of a book. Yeah and drink

my coffee. Okay. What about you in the morning? So I like coffee as well, usually and I like

breakfast. Breakfast foods are my favorite, yes so I eat a lot of eggs. Me too! Eggs and toast, yeah

um that's a typical breakfast for me, and while I'm drinking my coffee, I like to do a devotion,

or I tune in on TV to like Joyce Meyer, or some other Christian, what's the word? Teacher. yeah

yeah yeah So I like to spend some quiet time in the morning, with my breakfast, with the Lord,

and that's how I choose to start my day. Yeah and it's a little different this year for us, for our

family, because my girls are homeschooling. Okay. So instead of getting them ready and out the door,

we are home. So they have their books, they're very self-disciplined, and good about getting

started. My younger daughter likes me to sit with her and do it, so I choose a few subjects,

yeah of the day, and do them with her, but she's she's very independent, and good about

getting her schoolwork done, so it's a different year. I had zero intention to homeschool, wow,

but with the way the world is now, and the rules in the school district,

I decided that was best for our family. And things are different for us this year as well,

because our oldest son has started school. And so my husband usually brings him every morning at

7:30, and then he comes back, and usually I'm ready to go for a jog, or a walk and so every

morning I get out and exercise usually around 7:30. And during that time, I have to multitask

and so I am listening to French. That's the newest language I'm studying and so I'm like I need

to get my French in, because I don't know what the day will look like, and so every morning I

try to do that during my exercise. Nice, I like to exercise too, but not too early in

the morning. Okay so usually now with school i have to be around and available for that, so

my best time of day that I like to exercise, is probably around well, late morning. Sometimes I

can squeeze it in, but after lunch. Okay. Yeah, when school's kind of wrapping up, and done then

I'll go and it's a warmer part of the day, so it's getting cool now in New Hampshire, the weather is

definitely cooling off. I was thinking that. Yeah, when I come back, that's when I make my breakfast,

and I okay I always make two fried eggs, I put everything bagel seasoning on it,

and then I have a half of an avocado, sometimes I have a piece of toast and that's my breakfast,

and then I always eat that, and then I shower and I get ready for the day. So usually I'm

ready for the day by 9am, and sometimes I've already started lunch for the day,

because a lot of times I make a soup, or something that I can make in advance to have it ready,

and then I get my kids outside to play. Outside time is important for littles, for sure, so with

this homeschool, sometimes I'll be in my pajamas until I change into my workout clothes, okay,

so it's not always ideal, yeah, but that's just how it is right now. And then

usually every Wednesday, I volunteer at a store run by my church. Okay, it's an outreach to

the community, and we sell clothing. Okay. So gently used clothing, that people donate. Yeah,

so like a thrift shop? Similar, yes, yep and everything's very affordable,

most items in the store are one dollar. Wow that's amazing. And then recently, we've added a boutique

wall. Okay. So that will have individually priced items. Okay. So like designer jeans

will be ten dollars, wow, and then more trendy name brand items will be priced separately.

So that has been really great for me, so I'm up and out the door, ready to go by 9:30 in

the morning. Wow and so then my shift is from 10 to 1. Okay so I meet a lot of great people there,

and I love it, so when I'm there we go through donations. We end, we only choose the nice items.

If it's stained, ripped, yeah smelly, sometimes things are musty or mildew from being stored in

a damp basement, so we do not put those items out, but we get a lot of really nice clothing. Wow. So

I go through donations, I work the counter, you know checking people out, and just have

conversation with people in the community. Yeah and I've made friends, they come in weekly, wow,

on a regular basis they come in, and so I get to know people that I would never meet otherwise, so

I love that. So that's my Wednesday. My Wednesdays are a little different as well, I'm so thankful

because my mother-in-law takes my little kids, so I drop them off around 10 a.m. and then I go

pick them up around three. So Wednesdays are the days where I work, where I can work on my channel,

I can create new content or film, and so that's a huge huge blessing for me. It is good to have

one day of the week that's different. Yeah, as much as I thrive on routine, I need to mix it up,

yeah, so I enjoy that. Are you routine as far as your lunch time and dinner time every day as well?

Yes so lunch I tell my children it's a free for all, like you go help yourself,

if there's leftovers from the night before, we will eat those, otherwise sandwiches,

um but I do make dinner most, like five nights a week. Wow. So and my girls are getting old

enough where they help, yeah but typically in years past, I have been the sole chef,

and after doing it for 22 years, it gets a little old. Yeah,

pass it on to your girls. Yes yeah yeah, but we need to eat, so I cook. That's true, I do

I would say the bulk of the cooking in our house as well, I try to make enough so we always have

leftovers the next day. I usually don't cook two big meals in one day, like we'll just eat

very simple things, usually at dinner, and then I like to cook, and eat a bigger lunch.

Yeah yeah and we usually eat dinner I would say around 5- 5:30 p.m, and then

we start getting our kids ready for bed around seven, and they're sleeping, if all goes well,

by 7:30. So then we can have our evenings from 7:30 to 10:30 if our energy lasts that long.

Right yeah yeah so Jeremy, I don't know when my husband's coming home from work,

some days it's seven o'clock, wow, um so we don't always wait for him to eat. Usually we like to eat

around six. Okay yeah six is a good time. So but I feel like your cooking is amazing! You

always do like creative, like unique dishes from, you pull from different cultures, and I'm like

American cooking. What is American cooking though? Just like just traditional American food, like

you pull from like your time in India. Yeah that's true. The different flavors and styles of cooking

that I don't know, but my family's not used to either so. It's true. I feel like for you cooking

is like your cr, one of your creative outlets. I think so, I enjoy it. For me, it's just done out

of necessity. Okay. Like I have to do it, because my family has to eat. Yeah so and your family's

not a huge fan of vegetarian dishes as well, and I principally cook vegetarian, once in a while fish.

No I purchase a lot of meat, beef, I do like to buy grass-fed because of all the antibiotics,
