A Glimpse into our Days~ {Rhythms and Routines}

I just read the best quote today from Sarah @ Amongst Lovely Things...

Socrates said, "Better to do a little well than a great deal badly."

That has been my prayer this past week.

I have seen a few signs that a couple of things weren't working anymore

so what to do but put them aside.

{Tears being the deciding factor}

I wanted to share the flow of our day and how things are falling into place.

7:00 Wake, make bed, and play or come down and start checklist

{I havebeen schooling the Ks before everyone else is up since they are early birds}

8:00 Everyone down to the kitchen for breakfast after making beds

8:45 Get dressed and brush teeth

9:00 Begin school with Bible and Scripture Memorization
*MOST important thing we do because our goal for HS is discipleship... 

Growing Whole Hearts for my family!!! Even ME!!!
