![]() If you’ve emailed me during the day, you probably won’t hear back until the evening! Please be patient with me, I really do try to get back to everyone by the end of the day, but there are a lot of you and one of me o) Hopefully after seeing our daily schedule you’ll be gracious with me. and praise God we made it through another homeschool day without burning down the house! ![]() 9:00 pm: Free time for mom and dad….sit down for first time today and sigh…blog…make cool printables to share…check emails etc.Crazy I know, but that’s just how we’re rolling this year. ![]() Then yes, I let it sit overnight until we do chores the following day. Oh, and since our laundry room is upstairs now, I toss in a load of laundry, then swap it to the dryer when ready. 8:00 pm – 10 Minute Tidy & Bed Time! – This is where I set a timer and everyone runs around like maniacs cleaning up anything can they find so mom doesn’t blow a gasket at the mess we’ve created in just one day.7:30 pm – Bedtime Prep (Clean up rooms, put away laundry, take baths, brush teeth).I find that it helps my mental state tremendously to get out and get some fresh air! When it’s too cold, I hit our elliptical trainer, however I usually get bored on it. 7:00 pm – I usually try to exercise or go on a walk during the calm between dinner and bedtime.6:00pm – Dad enters & asks “So, what did you do all day?” I say “Not much, just lounged around and ate bon-bons.” Dad quizzes kids to make sure I’m kidding.Some nights we have hockey or swimming, so we work our dinner around those. 4:30-6:30 pm – Dinner Prep, Eat, and kitchen clean up.4:00 pm – I usually work a little bit, check email, blog, etc.We all take turns doing daily chores like folding laundry, emptying the dishwasher, taking out trash, etc. 3:30 pm – Chore time: Everyone does what they can from their chore chart assignments or whatever I ask them to do.3:00 pm – SCHOOL ENDS! (Well you know, technically it ends…realistically my kids are subject to my constant pop quizzes all day long.) At the end of each day I re-fill workboxes while the kiddos clean up their areas and make sure the school room is all nice and pretty like it was when we started.9:00 am – SCHOOL STARTS! We usually break for lunch around noon-ish, then finish our group studies like history, geography, art, etc.Here is our schedule in a little more detail ….basically…provided nothing unexpected happens…like life. Mom’s Schedule Word Doc (In the event that you would like to copy my insane schedule here you go! Just kidding, this one is editable so you can create your own!).Need help building a schedule that works?

But I realized that I still really like to see things all laid out in front of me and I find that once things get put in my phone they disappear from my brain. ![]() I still use my iPhone as well because it physically beeps to remind me that I need to be somewhere, or do something. I’m using my 2016 Weekly Planner right now because it helps me keep track of regular household chores, our family commitments, things to do/buy, reminders, and my blog, etc. One thing that has helped tremendously was using a traditional daily planner. Then we have our family commitments like church, sports, household chores, etc. Those all take up quite a bit of time, so without some planning I’d never be able to get those things done! I try to view that as a part-time job and have to plan work time into my day as well. I also work from home on my blog, creating YouTube content, and I create homeschool curriculum as well as free printables. For me that’s like my full time job, and I do my best to focus solely on school during those hours. But I like to at least have a basic guideline to get me through the day.Īs most of you already know, we homeschool.
