We are creatures of habit. I have a weekly schedule or routine that I follow. Once in awhile it will vary from week to week but I typically try to stick with it. My goal is to be home three days per week and out of the house two days. This may vary if something unusal comes up. And that's ok! It's just not every week. If I'm not home enough then the house is a mess and nothing gets done. If we are home all week then we go a little stir crazy. Find your sweet spot and stick with it!
Monday: Home
Change sheets on all beds
Laundry
Clean kids room, playroom and organize toys
Tuesday: Out/home (depends on week, may flip flop with Friday)
Doctor appointments (if there are any) OR
Bible study
Playdate
Wednesday: Home
Clean
Clean out refridgerator
Plan next week meals and grocery list
Thursday: Out
Errands
Friday: Home/Out if there's something special going on
Laundry if needed
Family pizza and games
Date Night two times per month
Saturday:
Groceries in the morning if Thursday didn't work out
Family outing or activity
Movie and popcorn night
Sunday: Family Day
Church and Sunday School
Dates with kids in the afternoon (one time per month per kid)
Family dinner
Once our kids get a little older we will need to add in activities and sports. However, we will still limit time going our seperate ways and make family time a priority. Overall, the idea is to be in control of your calendar and not the other way around. Don't be so busy that the important things in life pass you right by!
