Stay at home mommas!!??!!

Question

What does your daily schedule look like? Do you have it all together or is it madness and chaos? How do you keep things organized and running smoothly?

Answer

my 3 yr old is usually up with the sun, 630 (she's never slept til 9!) and baby girl 6weeks old  too early riser 4 -5 am usually fills her diaper but she usually goes back to sleep. hubby does his and big sis' s breakfast and I sleep some if I can until 730 when he leaves. THEN chaos begins...i have to eat and tend to baby and get 3 yr old doing something on her own. I try to get some fresh air before noon. lunch. quiet time for big sis so she plays sikently. I rest if lo let's me..anywherr from 10 min to an hr depend you know. THEN I make my self do house stuff or spend one on one with big sis and sometimes she likes to wash dishes with me, a win win! hubby home 430 plays with both girls and I make dinner. eat at 6. 3yr old needs to be in. bed at 7 if she didn't nap and by 8 if she did. lo still erratic no schedule. I  try to be in bed by 9.

Answer

wake up, usually around 9:30 . play for 30 mins. breakfast. change diapers.and clothes.  get ready (brush teeth, ect). We are starting to homeschool my 3 yr old. so, calendar time, and free play ( sometimes outside).  lunch. read stories and 3 o clock nap time. ( bath time only 2x per week and craft time too 2x per week).  watch one movie after my oldest wakes up ( she only acually sleeps for nap every 4 days usually). make dinner while they play again. eat around 8 pm. play again.  dad home around 9:30 pm.  stay up till 10 or 10:30, they can play with dad, get nighties on and get ready for bed. read books before bed.                    We have lots of different toys to play with(play houses, balls, electronic toys, princesses, figurines, kitchen and play food, books, little people toys and animals, my little pony,  ect) , including some outside(sand table,  water table, little gym set, 2 play cars to sit on and move,ect),and in our educational homeschooling cabinet ( puzzles, lite bright, magnetic dress up doll, young kids games, craft supplies,ect) . play is a young child's acual learning time, so I believe it is important to keep the tv off most of the day and let them do imaginary play.  sometimes with me, and sometimes alone or with sister. they also love their stuffed animals and blankets.

Answer

LO wakes up around 9-9:30am.
I make her a bottle, get her a snack.
11:00am she gets a bigger snack and some small ones, if I can manage to get her to eat instead of feeding the floor.
Then we play and watch Hulu.
1:00pm nap time and her 2nd bottle.
3:00pm-4:00pm she wakes up.
Lunch!!! I try several things until I feel satisfied that she's actually eaten enough.
We play and snack until around 5:30pm when I start dinner and try to finish before my husband gets home at 6:30pm
We play, eat dinner, watch Hulu, and be lazy until 9:00pm when it's time for her to go to bed.
She gets her 3rd and final bottle of Almond milk and we start the nerve wracking process of sleep training for several minutes until she stops crying and falls asleep.
Repeat for what feels like an eternity.

I was in a schedule, but now is just kind of chaos because we are renovating the house so everything is shoved in two spaces of the house...

Answer

Chaos.
Lol
With a 4 year old, a 9 month old and being 3 months pregnant my main goal is keeping us all alive and relatively happy by the end of the day! I have to get my older daughter to VPK twice a week and dance once a week. My younger daughter has a cleft palate so we have multiple appts between the ENT and a speech pathologist for feeding evaluations while we prepare for surgery after the new year. And now lots of OB appts and ultrasounds for my new pregnancy! So, chaos!

Answer

Hey ladies what are something you doing with kids for play time ?

Answer

I miss being a SAHM. My life is pure chaos now. 😐

Answer

Well, it's a little erratic right now because pregnancy fatigue is real! But, generally...
Hubby and older kids get up about 6, I thankfully get to sleep in because they all leave the house at the same time. They have breakfast together then head to the bus stop/work.
I get up about 9 with my 3 year old. We have breakfast and get dressed. 
Then I usually start the dishwasher and a load of laundry. While that's going I get something started with my little girl... coloring, blocks, sometimes a movie, etc. 
While she's busy, I usually either clean up the rest of the kitchen or clean the bathroom. 
We have lunch, then do something together... read, talk about shapes, colors, letters, etc... Usually laundry needs to be folded by then and she usually helps with that.
Then she'll go play in her room and I'll do more cleaning or work on our budget or shopping lists... just whatever needs done.
When the older kids get home they have a snack, do their homework, then do chores. I help them when they need it, then make dinner.
The kids clean the dining room up after dinner. 
I shop on Saturdays when hubby is home, so I can avoid taking kids to the store. 
Of course no 2 days are the same and some days I barely get anything done, but that's typically how it works out.
