Having a weekly rhythm works for us. We look forward to each day and are excited by what they bring. And I love how a rhythm flows and adjusts to our needs, because although I love my lists and order in some parts of my life, at home with my kids I prefer a more fluid approach.
Monday is painting day
We start our day at Waldorf playgroup which is a great way to start our week! We enjoy the gentle flow of the morning and feel revitalised and ready for the week ahead.
In the afternoon, after nourishment and a rest, we paint! We enjoy painting on various surfaces; wood, glass, fabric, ourselves, and of course paper *smile*
Cleaning day is Tuesday
We love Wednesdays - baking day!
Crafting day comes on Thursday
The kids also love that on Thursday Little Miss M and her mum come to visit and play...
Friday is outside play and gardening day
Although we enjoy the outdoors most days, it's nice to have a day where we really focus on nature. We might just play in our backyard or do some gardening. Little Miss Q is enjoying investigating dirt and mud at the moment!
Weekends are family time
I was inspired by the talented Mama West Wind of Chocolate Eyes to prepare our rhythm visually. And Master D loves being able to check it, which is also great for keeping me on track too (no skipping painting day, or rather cleaning day!).
Do you use a rhythm for your days?
Sharing on Crafting on at Frontier Dreams :-)
Warmly, Kelly
