This is how our schedule seems to be shaping up naturally, since I started to spend more time at home rather than running here and there. I like how you pointed out balancing the schedule, making sure it works with our natural rhythms and not against them. That's key for us, too.Eve | Inchworm Chronicleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15194431691132769984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4144795012504114230.post-4896270201742374512012-07-01T16:57:45.503-07:002012-07-01T16:57:45.503-07:00Love it!!!

I always struggle with where to put in bath/shower time for my kids. If we do it in the morning there's not enough time according to MY schedule. If we do it in the evenings, it gets skipped a lot due to outside activities. Maybe I should push school back a bit so baths can be in the morning......hmmmm<br />ShellyShelly and Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358046149313907343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4144795012504114230.post-80041310365752037072012-07-01T12:32:16.450-07:002012-07-01T12:32:16.450-07:00Go for it, Raisin! :-D

I saw your charts when I was at your house and thought that the pictures for the little ones and written for the older ones is very creative. :-)<br /><br />We have similar "time slots" for our family that we call Morning Hours, Education Hours, Free Time Hours, and Evening/Family Hours. I've listed (my kids are older) the types of activities that happen during those times. Now that we will be having "littles" again, I probably need to go a more visual route.Celeste B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07356778436738411892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4144795012504114230.post-36753162450111508142012-06-29T14:26:06.824-07:002012-06-29T14:26:06.824-07:00I think when raising childern I was much like you....I think when raising childern I was much like you.

I actually like schedules and lists, etc, but I have realized over the years that the "time" type schedules (especially with children) are ridiculous and only make me more frustrated. The "goals" type "schedules" work more effectively for us as well - for instance, we do our chores in the morning, before we go out and do anything else. But sometimes chores happen before breakfast, sometimes they happen after breakfast. Sometimes some of the chores wait until the afternoon because we have an appointment in the morning (I like doing my errands in the morning). Anyway, I love your little graphics, and you have inspired me. I have been thinking about doing something like that for a while. This is great.
