Homestead Haven Beginnings

Morning routine and Focus area

The kids morning/evening routine are daily "self chores" that are not a part of thier "paying chores."

Pick up room and make bed

Brush teeth and hair/Wash hands and face

Get dressed for the day

Table chores

Evenings we add:

Jammies

Drink of water

My morning routine is as follows:

Make bed

Pick up room

Get ready head to shoes (even if it is 5 minutes)

Ready breakfast

Lay out Phil's work clothes

Start coffee

My evening routine:

Story and tuck in kids

PJ's/Brush teeth/Wash face

Check calander for tomorrow

Start to do list for tomorrow

Quick pick up of house

I also have a daily focus area.  This is an area I try to dedicate at least one hour of the day to.  If it is an area I can include the kids in, I will do it while they are awake, but if it is an area such as office, I will do it during nap time.

Monday - Office

Tuesday - Kitchen (Baking etc.)

Wednesday - Errands

Thursday - Gardening

Friday - Deep cleaning

Saturday - Laundry

A great website that got me going in all of this is Large Family Logistics.  She also has a yahoo group similar to fly lady, but not nearly as many e-mails.  Just a few a day to remind you of "Mommy Love" time and "Your Morning Routine" etc.  It is a fantastic site.

I admire how well you've gotten your routine down. I think being organized about it is the first step!
