“I use my schedule as a guide and not a rigid routine. Its purpose is to serve my family; I don’t feel obligated to accomplish every item on a given day. The schedule doesn’t always go smoothly or perfectly, because my boys are little sinners like their mommy! But it has brought a degree of order to what would otherwise be a rowdy riotous day...”


Some links I am using to finalize my scheduling dilemma...  

 

I also found some routine help on a blog called Girltalk, regarding scheduling advice for multiple young children.

Homeschooling
Home

"Show me a mother with an enduring love for her children and I'll show you a mother who meets the requirements for home teaching.  With love comes the self-sacrifice, daily discipline, kindness, patience, and determination needed to set her children's feet on the paths of righteousness, skill, and knowledge.  She who sows seeds by home teaching, over time will reap the fruits of her labor."

~Karen Andreola, Lessons at Blackberry Inn
