Wow! 🌸 Even though I don’t homeschool (we’re not allowed to here in Sweden...), so many of your rhythms still resonate with me.
I especially love the practice of gratitude. Every evening my daughter and I lie down together as part of her night routine and share what we’re most thankful for from the day. It’s such a simple thing, but it changes the atmosphere completely.
Thank you for sharing all this amazing advice. I look forward to reading more from you!
That’s a great gratitude habit for you and your daughter! I’m sure that’s making such a meaningful difference for both of you. Glad to have you following along!
I love this post, Mollie! Our homeschool life has many similarities. I definitely need to prioritize waking up before the kids though, it’s so hard when you’re being woken up from a teething toddler every night, but having that space makes a big difference. I would love to implement the daily gratitude on journal form. We talk about our rose, thorn and bud at dinner which is similar, but the act of writing it down would be beneficial. Finally, I love having specific hours for quiet time. I usually just do an hour, but 2-4 sounds perfect. Especially to focus on reading, writing and resting instead of being productive. Love all of this! Thanks for sharing! And congrats on another addition to your family!
Thanks!! Waking up before kids isn’t always feasible, totally understandable in a season of babes waking you at night! But even if I’m up for 30 minutes before my kids it helps me so much. I love your intentional gratitude practice, journaling it gives us the opportunity to look back and see how the Lord has been faithful over the past months/years.
The peace in this post is evident as you have implemented these habits into your lives over the years. You’re a great mom, Mollie! And, I’m so excited to hear your good news of a baby coming next spring! Congratulations! ♥️
Thanks Brooke! I actually didn't enjoy being a SAHM the first year after leaving my teaching role and it wasn't until I implemented better daily habits that I came to love the role! And thank you, we are all excited for one final addition : )
Bravo. I did not have social media or people to compare notes with like you all do when I home schooled... but I also didn't have to deal with cell phones and ipads and netflix and streaming insanity... not a child of mine recieved a phone before they were 13 and none of them were smart phones... so I'm grateful for that
But wow...I love this list. It is EXACTLY the list of rhythms and habits that I created in our home school. The main difference is that I was never and am still NOT a morning person so that rhythm was a hard fought one and only done with GREAT difficulty EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.
BUT... it was so important and so fruitful I did it... every day.
Love this so much and love that you all have each other to share these things!
This is lovely stuff, thank you for sharing 💐
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed reading it!
