Our Family Schedule

I believe it is so important to have a family daily schedule. It keeps you from running around the house like a chicken with her head cut off. Spastically cleaning here and there and never getting anything completely done.  It can feel maddening.

One blog I absolutely love is "Want What You Have" She writes in-detail of how to write schedules,chores etc.. and basically how to run your home. I have gained so much from this blog. Though, I am not at her level yet. I am a little bit more basic and some might say an amateur but I do get it done. Most of the time anyway. I make it stupid simple. And I do a little at a time. But back to my daily family schedule which I also learned from the Supernanny! I am a big fan of the Supernanny. Every time she went to someones house she always implemented a house schedule. I believe her techniques really work.

So here is my schedule and yes it is very early...
Here is a Brief Outline. I go more into detail the next post.  I will try to write down all the little details which is what I always want to know in others' schedules too.
