Getting Organized:
In your home and homeschool
Dear Friends,
How is your Before Bed Routine going? The habit of the month for September is your Before Bed Routine or Evening Routine.
You start this routine right after dinner, and it will make your morning much more pleasant the next day.
Each evening, we divide and conquer the kitchen clean up. Each person does a task, and we are done quickly. Then I move into my Before Bed Routine. I check my calendar and the weather to see what we have the next day.
After I do this, I am able to lay my clothes out down to my shoes. I remind the boys of anything we have on the calendar and to lay their clothes out, too. (My boys are easy in this regard because they wear a lot of camouflage clothes.)
Next, we put things at the Launch Pad, so we don’t have to search for things the next morning.
Since the sink is clean and shiny from the dinner clean up, I check back on it at the end of the night when I take my bedtime supplements.
Right before I go to bed, I wash my face, brush my teeth, and put on my pajamas. Then, I go to bed at a decent hour, which is usually 10:00 pm.
This is the most important routine of your day. If it is something you have not been doing, I encourage you to start doing these simple steps each night. It will make your mornings more peaceful. It will help your children have a solid routine that leads to bedtime each night.
Your Zone Mission today is to clear the Hot Spots in the Kitchen.
Your Home Blessing for today is to dust and vacuum.
My menu plan for Tuesday is Taco Tuesday.
Have a blessed day!
