Our Daily routine
Here is our daily routine that we generally follow:
Morning:
I do not set an alarm in the morning, but I usually wake up between 6:00 and 7:00. Here is my morning routine:
- oversee breakfast prep. / prayer reading while kids eat
- kids morning routine: make bed, wash up, brush teeth
- discuss chore lists w/kids
- start laundry
- Play time outside (we’re taking a summer break from studies)
- Dinner @Noon
Afternoon:
After dinner clean up I send the big kids up stairs to read and the two little ones stay in my room for quite time. I usually read or put my feet up for a bit.
After an hour and a half, I get everyone up and give them a snack. Then we take a walk or play outside some more.
Around 4pm I start supper and the kids get to watch a show or dvd while they fold their laundry.
Evening:
We eat supper between 5:00-6:00 and everyone helps with clean-up.
- Free time
- showers and brush teeth
- room clean up
- Read family story to the kids
- Prayers
Kids are in bed by 8pm
Quite time for me reading, prayers.
I try to get to sleep by 9:30, here lately it’s been way later.
