Beautiful schedule. Does anyone have a sample schedule for life with a 2 year-old and a newborn? Any tips for dealing with sleepiness during the day after waking up several times at night? I can’t wait to get back to “normal”!

Wow, this schedule is so helpful!!!!
I have a 6 year old, a 3 year old and, on Wednesdays, a 1 1/2 year old as well. I work two days a week and 2 nights. During the summer I feel as though I am torn in so many directions!! This is awesome, and I will try it!!
Just one question…my 3 year old wakes up at 5:30 am, any suggestions?? I am thinking I can exercise and home school her at this time vs the afternoon. I am also seeking home school tips/books/etc for the summer (my 6 yr old) and for my 3 yr old, year round. She will be going to preschool 2 days/wk as I work also:) Praise God for your insight and this post.

Hey, Crystal thank you for commenting. I know what you mean about trying to get up early but staying up late. I know for me I am a night person and find having quiet time at night works best, or early afternoon when the kids are doing seat work or playing.

My kids get up super early as well. I find that when I get up at 6am a little one is soon coming down the stairs. I have to get up at 5-5:30 to get quiet time for myself. It’s hard because I usually stay up late working. I’m working hard to find a schedule that works for my family.

It is so good to find a group of mommies who have the same values as I do, and can relate to what I go through on a daily basis to survive motherhood! I have a four year old daughter, a two and a half year old son, and a fifteen month old son. There are days when I have to DARE myself to get out of bed! It can be so exhausting… it’s definately a blessing to have a smooth hour, let alone a smooth day. I would be completely lost without a schedule, even a loose one. My husband is very supportive, but even so he has a hard time understanding where I’m coming from on some things since he isn’t home with the kids day after day. It’s different when it’s ongoing… it’s so important to have “me” time somewhere in the day, otherwise it feels like I could lose my mind! I’m glad I have a place to come when I feel that way

I am a new stay at home mom. We have two children 8 and 12 and are now pregnant with our third and plan to have a fourth soon after this one is born. I noticed you said you work online, how do I go about finding a real work from home job? Any pointers? We really need the extra money!

Thanks so much!

Hello, Cassandra. First and foremost, congratulations on being able to keep a schedule and help keep everything in order in your household.
Secondly, I am going to try to follow your schedule a bit as a guideline. I have recently become a stay-at-home-mom once again. It’s really tough when a person goes back and forth from working to not working.

As of right now, I have Irish Twin girls. They are both 3 years old right now, and my oldest will be 4 years old in February. They are such a handful. When I was with their father and we were living together, I was a stay-at-home-mom (he wouldn’t allow me to work). It was very difficult then, but at least they took naps so I was able to get some time to myself. After we went out seperate ways, I went back to the working world for about a year. Oh, I was working before I had my daughters, and I was made to quit after having my first until we split the first time. Now, I am again in the position of being a stay-at-home-mom, but it is because we have found out that I am pregnant with twins that are due this summer. I really want to work because I find it easier than being at home all day long, but since this is the card I have been dealt at this moment, I really hope that following your schedule a bit will help me cope.

Have a blessed day.

Hi Cassandra!

You are a God send! I have never met anyone that will have the same schedule that I have.a I always feel like I am cheating because I don’t get up so early in the morning. I even nap my children from 2-4pm. I am very, very, very encouraged by your schedule and I will like to share this with a friend. I am orginally from NYC and life there was extremely hectic and I didn’t get married until I was 31. I felt the assimulation into domestic life very difficult. I had been working up to 3 jobs since I was 16 years old to survive the OUTRAGEOUS NYC cost of living!

I know live in the South and I am a foster parents. I have been a Christian for about 15 years and I am struggling with getting the household on track. I noticed I need to declutter, be organize without being a Nazi, and pray, pray, pray more! Right now, I am fostering a 6mos, 21 mos and a 3 year old. I just adopted my 18mo old. I have had 22 children in 2 years. Many of them required countless trips to the doctors, WIC, Health Dept. and needed therapy and this makes the day crazy! I had the same schedule you had and I felt guilty because I always seem to be behind everyone else. Well, I am encouraged and I thank you!
