If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like to live a day in the life of a producer’s family, here’s your answer. While we rarely have two similar days in a row and our entire day or week can get flipped upside down without notice, I work really hard to keep rhythms and routines that help all of us feel good and healthy.
I love seeing what other people do in a day and I know I will get a kick out of this time capsule of my life during pre-production. We are currently living on a film set while preparing for a new movie. We love living in a town where we have filmed in before so we feel quite at home while we’re here.
This particular day was shot last week, it was a more quiet day than usual and Josh and I had a dinner event that he was hosting for the film that night. But a good day none the less!
