I have four amazing children and each of them is unique and talented in many ways. I love teaching them and seeing them learning new things each day. It's exciting to me to know they are getting an education that will inspire them to improve their talents and build new ones. For me a day of learning has to be scheduled. We can't always follow the schedule perfectly but an outline makes everything easier. Fridays and Saturdays are reserved for chores, sports, play groups, appointments, field trips, daddy dates, and so on. Sundays are our day of Sabbath worship, rest, and some service.

This is usually how it goes but not everyday is perfect. We do our best and get done everything we can. But we have a great time and feel very productive when we can meet our goals. Dealing with my health problems can make some days difficult to do, but I push myself and can get most of the things done. Some things may fall through the cracks like morning chores Language studies etc. But in a perfect world this is my schedule. :)
