The number one key to loving my space is keeping it clean. Developing a routine that helps me keep things looking tidy has made me home feel twice as big.
Reading others routines helped me find one that worked for me (I recommend homeschooling blogs for this) so now I'll post mine.
7am wake up, scriptures (personal), breakfast, get dressed,
7:50 family scriptures and prayer
8:05 get son off to school
8:15 nurse the baby, look at calendar, exercise
9:00 morning clean up routine,
10:00 snack, spend time with Munchkin
11:00 lunch
12:00 Afternoon cleaning routine
1:00 nap/quiet time/ project time
3:15 snack
3:30 homework
4:00 kids play, dinner prep
5:00 dinner, clean up
6:00 family time
7:00 evening chores
7:30 get kids ready for bed (family prayer, read to the kids)
9:00 My get ready for bed time
Things to consider. I need 9 hours of sleep. I just do. So I don't make my bedtime 10:00 if I need to wake up at 7:00. I'm hoping to be asleep already at 10:00 so I made it at 9:00. My husband gets up for work at 5:00 but needs less sleep so it works out okay.
