Maximizing your Morning: Week 3

How am I doing in my maximizing my morning challenge? Well not too bad but not that great either. But, I am fine with that. I have been reminded over and over again that you do not accomplish change drastically and right away. It takes time and patience. The key is to keep trying and not giving up.

Week 1 check-in: I have kept on with waking up before 7:00 except on Mondays, Saturdays and Sundays when the house schedule is different. The wake up time has not moved to 6:30 yet, but that's ok. I am up before the kids and have time to have my quiet time. That is what is important. As far as the going to bed part is concerned I have not made much progress there. That is the area that still needs a lot of effort.

Week 2 check-in: I have not worked a schedule yet for my quiet time, but I certainly have been thinking about it.

Now for this week the challenge is to develop an Exercise Plan (refer to pages 10-15 of the eBook). The steps are:
1 Pick a Workout

2. Make it Fun

3. Create you Habit (Pick one thing you will do everyday and at what time, or moment of the day): It's going to be weights while the kids are doing independent school work.

4. Set a Goal (Why are you exercising?): Because I can stand to lose some weight.

So the challenge is on, link back at So I Married a Mennonite.

By the way found you at the hip blog hop. :)
Good luck with the scheduling plan and the exercising. I do not enjoy exercising so I just never seem to work it into my schedule.

I'm not good at going to bed early either. That makes getting up early hard. Best of luck with that too. :)

Our Current Homeschool Routine - Virtual Homeschool Fair - Week 2

For week 2 of the Virtual Homeschool Fair, which is hosted by Homeschooling Hearts and Minds , we are talking method of homeschooling. When it comes to the how of homeschooling, and the method that we all follow, with the 20 plus blogger participating I can guarantee you, no method will be the same. Homeschooling is a lifestyle and a path unto a goal or toward a direction that each family sets for itself. For us, this encompasses academic rigor, as well as Christian values and depth of understanding of how to live in this world as Christians. To that end, earlier on we had settled on a classical education. 10 years into it, I cannot say we have been very good classical homeshooler. We did not follow the method and philosophy to a T but instead adapted it to our family's routine and rhythm. We became more relaxed classical homeschooler. I had good intentions with the Latin and Greek, but not enough discipline and it did not appeal to the boys; my oldest son did two years, the...

Happy New Year to all! After a two year hiatus, I am resurrecting this blog.

Homeschooling - A Glimpse into How We Do it

2016 was a pretty skimpy blogging year for me. Ask me why, I am not sure I have an answer for you beside life happening and writing inspiration fading. With a new year upon us I will try to get back on the blogging scene and what best topic to start the year with than giving you a glimpse into what homeschooling looks like in our home with now two teenagers.
