Keeping a schedule with a toddler + twins

I’ve felt the need recently to put us on a schedule – you can read all about those thoughts over here. But quite honestly it’s really hard to sit down and think about how the day needs to go. By the time I have a chance to actually sit down with my thoughts I’m too tired to run through a days worth of events, seeing as I just barely survived them. So when I found a schedule on Pinterest (that I’m still trying to re-find!!!) I quickly jotted it down and personalized it…

And this is what it plays out to when all is said and done… with one semi-homeschooling preschool aged toddler and 10 month old twins. It gets the job done, and gives me enough of a guideline to allow for changes if needed, or to simply remind me where to go next with my time.

Our Toddler + Twins Schedule

6:30am – Q wakes up, Sing songs, Pray, Read Scriptures together, breakfast

This spring is shaping up to be AH-MAZINGLY adorable! If you follow Brickyard buffalo on Instagram I’m sure you’ve seen the leggings and now moccasin frenzy that crashed their site – Cray cray! And now I am seeing bowties and knotted headbands everywhere! I snagged both sets of these beauties on B/B and am now impatiently patiently waiting for them to arrive. Here are a few other fab shops carrying these trends…
