![]() We eat breakfast as a family and do family devotions.Īfter breakfast we start our morning routine. Sometimes my littlest will just read his Bible beside me which is okay too. This gives us all time to wake up and be in the Word before diving head first into the day. We’re currently working through the What’s in the Bible series right now, and it is going really, really well. You can read about my favorite quiet time resources for children here. We start our morning with Bible time for Mommy and video time for the boys. Regardless of when we rise, we start our day in the Word. But again, it depends on how the night went and in this season, we’re willing to give ourselves a lot of grace! Our goal is to get up before the children and have our time in the Word and prepare for the day. Mom and Dad get up anywhere from 6:00 to 8:00 in the morning. They are still adjusting! Plus little brother just moved into a big boy bed and is determined to potty train. It’s not like we didn’t move them across the country, move them in with grandparents, and then out again into our own home. They aren’t always predictable, but we’re praying for more rhythm as we stick to our routine and life continues to normalize for them. It really depends on how well they are sleeping, if they slept in their own beds or sneaked into ours, etc. Update: We’ve added an extra step into our morning routines and we love it! It’s how my kids stopped driving me crazy in the mornings. The boys get up anywhere from 6:15 to 8:00 in the morning. So I’m just going to share our new family routine with our homeschool routine built in. The thing with homeschool is that it’s really hard to tell where your regular day begins and where your homeschool day begins. It was chaos to say the least! I spent many mornings locked in my husband’s office begging him to just “fix it all.” The joys of working from home, right? Poor guy!īut we stuck to our routine and now I can say that the days are still hard, but we’re moving along nicely and there is much more peace in our days. ![]() My oldest was reluctant to “do school” and little brother was a toddler tornado trying to grab markers, scissors, and glue all at once. The first couple of weeks were really hard for us. The single best thing I have learned over the last month is ROUTINE, ROUTINE, ROUTINE! Routines work really well when teaching little children who are on different levels. We started “light” school in July and officially started August 3rd. ![]() This means that I have to be really intentional with our time.īy the way, I’ll be sharing more about our decision to start kindergarten as well as our curriculum choices soon. The oldest is doing kindergarten work and the youngest thinks he is. My boys are four and a half and almost two years old. But I have to admit, I don’t always love it in the moment. It’s a gift and one that I hope to steward well. ![]()
