Routines and schedules need to be tailored to our season in life, our needs, and our personalities. But guess what? Chances are, there are ideas out there on the internet that will fit you almost to a T!
I’ve collected here a few samples […]
I don’t know about you, but there are few things I dislike more than have my oven and gas burners on in the summer between the hours of 3-7pm, the hottest time of the day. Even when I force myself to the task, I must admit that it’s rather disheartening to toil over a hot stove, sweat beading on my forehead, only to have the family push the food around their plates with their forks because they’re just too hot to eat.

This week we received a follow-up question to some shared thoughts on routine housekeeping: Regarding a daily schedule, what should happen at “this” time or how should our time be broken down to be more effective? Join our discussion!
