Meg Logan’s Blog

These are the schedules I put together in Word, based on the information found in Managers of Their Homes, by Teri Maxwell. This is my Monday, Wednesday and Every Other Friday schedule. Tuesday is very different, but due to complications I’m not going to try to publish it here. Thursdays are still up in the air. I am trying to revise the old routine, which was to grocery shop all afternoon with four kiddos. I’d like to keep them out of the store more, and free up my afternoon for other important things, and also keep them home more, for stability. One other thing you just don’t get to see here is the beautiful colors that the schedule is ACTUALLY in.  After the schedule I also posted my Chore Chart, (special thanks to Donna Young for the original layout.)

by the way, all those q’s are boxes on my Word document.

So far so good!! I am planning to get some made for what to do when I am sick, either with a pregnancy or some other time… I hope to get one made up relatively soon. Anyway, using this schedule has greatly improved the standard of living in our house. Not only are we cleaner, and more organized, but mom is way happier, kids are happier and all around things run much more smoothly. I have only been using the schedule as its printed for about three weeks, with just some tweaking. I still hope to be able to add in more things as we get more efficient with the current routine.
