Finding Balance: Daily Routines

What are your daily habits?

I wouldn’t say that I follow a strict routine at all, but I do have daily habits that help get me through the days easier.

Starting with my coffee. No day seems to go well without spending half an hour just sipping my coffee, and mentally preparing for the day ahead. I drink both hot and cold coffee, and I HAVE to have my snickers creamer. I absolutely love that stuff!

Then I start on laundry before I get my kiddos up. Laundry is a never ending thing for me as we have no dryer, so I have to air dry everything.

Afterwards when we are all up and ready to start, we homeschool! Throughout the week. So, while they are working on papers and projects, I am going through my emails, on here blogging, or setting up more assignments for later in the week.

Then we finish up whatever chores need to be done around the house, and the rest of our days are having fun together. We go swimming or sit down for some movie time. Figure out meals together, and/or go game and have some alone time.

Finding a balance to do the things that need to be done, and the things that we want to do is less stress when you take care of the needs first. That’s what I was always taught. And that is what I will instill in my children. Work before play, and most of the time there is more time for play after the work.
