A recent question I was asked was to write about some of the routines I have and stick to and I no routines aren’t for everyone but for me they were a life saver.

I think my biggest routine that has been in place for the longest is my bedtime routine, it normally starts around 6pm with me dishing up dinner if it’s been in the slow cooker or me putting dinner in the oven, then it’s eating time and a bath or shower just depends on how much they have behaved. Once they are all out and dress in pj’s our son is normally the first one in bed around 7pm and once he is down,  I braid the girls hair  and it is story time and then brush teeth, toilet and in bed by 7:30pm.

I don’t have many other routines other than on kindy days or as of next year it will be school time which is every day 😮 . On a kindy day it’s up by 6:30am to 7am and it’s breaky time then the girls make sure they have everything packed in their school bag and then they get dressed normally in the clothes I have gotten out for them. Then at 7:45am it’s leave for kindy and at kindy from 8am to 5pm. Once we are home it’s normally bath time to get rid of all that sand from kindy then dinner, brush teeth, toilet and bed time still by  7:30pm.

The rest of my days are pretty much just based around loose routine of pretty much up at about 7:30am at the latest and if I’m lucky haha then it’s breaky time, and all the kids will then go have a play, our son normally goes back down for a sleep at around 10 or 11am for about an hour. Lunch time is around 11am/12pm depending on when the kids are hungry and they have normally had morning tea as well at about 10am. After lunch it is inside quiet time for a bit and then back outside to play at around 2pm for as long as they want and I normally try to start dinner while they are all outside.

Well I hope these are useful to someone and if you have any other questions I’ll do my best to answer 🙂

Talk again soon CC ❤
