~How Our Day Looks~

Hey everyone! I hope you're doing amazing today. =) God's love is incredible and He is so good to us. I see His blessings every day and I'm so grateful. I thought maybe others would like to read about how our day usually goes around here. I may forget a thing or two. (A lot to remember!) When we get up in the morning the first thing we do is devotions and a Bible study. Then we have breakfast/coffee. After breakfast we start on our Home School day. We usually take a break around noon or 12:30 for lunch. While the older 3 are doing their school work I have the little ones on learning videos I find on Youtube kids or ABC Mouse--they love it! =) They also join us for art class on the days we do that. After lunch we get back to our school work until around 3pm. Some days are longer, some end sooner-depending on what our lessons are for the day. The kids then have their chores they do before they can have free time. At this point they usually play a bit with their brothers and their pets-then go to their friends house in the neighborhood. They come back home around 7pm for dinner. Before bed we talk about the day, say our prayers, brush teeth and rest! Hope I remembered everything...Lol. Do you enjoy reading about what others do in their day? Image is mine that I took, do you like it?

You've got a very organized day for everyone, that must keep everyone on track. I find that full, busy days like yours pass quickly, but you spend time together as a family at the start and at the end of the day so that you can all share special moments of the day with each other. We always recapped our best/worst moments of our days together at the supper table when we were raising our son, now its not as exciting just the 2 of us, but we still recap together. I like the picture of the little girl, very cute.

@Juliaacv I try to, but I don't worry if something doesn't work out. We just try something different and move on. =) Yes, family time is very important to us. That's good that you still do that together. I have always heard and truly believe a family that prays together, stays together and I know from experience it's so true! =)

With homeschooling all your kids, you must be very organized and have great structure to your day, which is amazing. That's awesome that you've got such a good routine. I love the picture. I love anything that has to do with the outdoors!

@moffittjc I try to but I also don't sweat the small stuff when things go a bit nutty! There's always another day to learn so I go with the flow. Thank you! I love this one because she was almost close enough to touch the bird!

Love the image! I do enjoy reading about how others spend their days, and yours sounds like busy ones. Mine are quite mundane in comparison except for a surprise every now and then to shake things up a bit.

I like daily happenings. How in the world do you manage to home school? I have looked into tutoring jobs, but I am just not smart enough. The photo is adorable! I pray to the Blessed Virgin Mary every day.

@Spontaneo I have been Home Schooling my children for the last 10 years and love it! =) It's not as hard as some people think. Thank you! I pray and have a relationship with Jesus, my Savior. So grateful God chose me to be His daughter.
