Routine!

Well, I have a ton of pics and lots to say but today I just wanted to share with you all that things are going so well here! I am convinced that kids do best when there is some sort of structure and routine. So, here is a little example of what my family has been implementing this week and everyone seems happier. ;)

Each kid has regular chores like make bed, put clothes away, Pagie feeds dogs, Kade does dishes after dinner, etc... and these are to earn the right to watch TV, play video games on the weekend and stuff like that.... then there are chores that we call "money makers", (which is what my 14 year old calls his legs-haha!), and these can earn you $! These include scooping dog poop in the backyard, vacuuming downstairs, or sweeping the kitchen. So everyone is motivated! It's good!

Our after school routine is something like this:
Snack
Homework
Chores
Playtime outside
6 o'clock sharp ~ dinner bell
Shower
Family Time
8:15 Bed Time

My house is peaceful, happy, and healthy!
Yay!
 Hope this inspires someone to make a great routine for their family!


All 4 Him,

B
