Family Friday: Family Schedule

Our family schedule seems to be so different from a lot people I know. With the hubs working (including drive time) about 12 hours a day it makes our schedule different or he would never see Monkey. So here it is...

 6:00 or 6:30 the hubs leaves for work.
8:30 Monkey and I get up (bath time if none the night before)
9:00 Cook and Eat Breakfast
9:30 Leave for mom's group activity several times a week OR play time while Mommy cleans
12:00 Cook and Eat Lunch
1:30 Nap time for Monkey, Bible time for Mommy (most days)
2:30 Monkey is up. Watch Letter Factory (He's very cranky when he wakes up so he gets a movie to allow more wake up time before playing.
3:00 Play time/Story time/Cleaning together time 
6:00 or 6:30 Hubby heads home and I start dinner.
7:00 or 7:30 We eat dinner
7:30 Family Play Time
8:30 Start Bedtime Routine 
     Bath time if we had a really dirty day or he gets in the morning
     P.J.'s
     Running (he has so much energy still that he just does laps in his room)
     Story time
     Prayers
     Kisses, music on, lights out!
9:00 Bedtime for Daddy
10:00/11:00 Bedtime for Mommy

 There are a few things I working on changing but haven't got there yet. Like I want to go to bed earlier so I can get up when the Hubs leaves for work but I'm a night owl and it's going to take a couple of weeks to get adjusted to that. When I finally make these changes I will be able to get more cleaning done before Monkey gets up and maybe even get back into my workout program in the morning and possibly even have more alone time with God. That would be great.

 Does your family schedule differ from ours? How? Does it work for you or do you need to make changes? I'd love to hear your thoughts too!

Happy Father's Day!

Today is father's day and most people are getting together and celebrating with family. Dads, grandpas and uncles all celebrating together the joys of being a father. Maybe getting a chance to relax and enjoy just sitting around watching the kids play and being surrounded with family. That's what father's day has always looked like for us. We would always gather at my parents house. First, with my grandparents when I was growing up for dinner and a day of enjoying being together. Then as I grew older my sister and I would make sure to spend the day with our dad. Then we got married and had kids of our own and the tradition continued. We would bring all the kids and enjoy BBQing at my parents house enjoying time together. This year things are different.We can't just jump in the car and head over for a BBQ. We can't sit around on the couch or on the patio talking and laughing together. This year we are 12 hours away from where I've always been for father...

Week #2 on THM

Well it's officially the end of week 2 on Trim Healthy Mama! I have tried some more new recipes from the book and from pinterest and I'm having so much fun with it. I also order some xylitol online to save money. I didn't realize how much sweetener I would be using but when you can make sweets for any meal or snack through out the day you can use quite a bit. Favorite Meals this week E pancakes from the book! Yum! I added in frozen berries to them while cooking and they were great and the boys loved them too. They got to have the added whipped cream or syrup on theirs. Fat Stripping Frappa! OMGOSH! This is going to be my go to summer morning drink! I can see myself making one of these up first thing in the morning to get my day going and then enjoying a yummy breakfast 3 hours later. Soon as warm weather hits Hubby's schedule will be packed full daily so my mornings will start early, like 5am early! So having a breakfast at 8:30 will be perfect timing! Cheese ...
