Barefoot Schedule

The Barefoot Day

Notice I do not assign times to anything, I have tried that it does not work for us. We like flexibility, we need flexibility, and we want flexibility. I also can not guarantee that we will do the following in this order everyday. But guess what? My schedule my rule, I just love homeschooling!

Wake Up, Exercise, Quiet Time

These are things I try to do everyday. I know for sure I wake up everyday (unless a migraine hits then we just trash this list). Exercise is something I am trying to make a habit, no comment on how that is going. Quiet time is usually done, or my kids send me back to my room to do it (heehee, they like a happy momma)

Eat, Dress, Chores

I do not do mornings. Breakfast is a free for all and I am just happy if my littles wear underwear and brush their teeth. Morning chores are light and easy (clean up breakfast messy, throw in a load of laundry etc)

Grade School Work/Mom’s computer time

For my own sanity and health I do all grading the day I get it unless a hurricane hits. Which my desk looks like on most weekdays….. This is also when I blog, Facebook (shhhh), research, return phone calls and such.

Handy Work/Playtime

I read, craft, sleep or we go to the pool. Sometimes we do it all.  And I will tell you a little secret, sometimes we jump right down to this after we wake up.

Dinner and Family Devotions

True confession, I forget to make dinner many nights. Good thing I a good at whipping up quick and easy meals. Honestly I get so busy in the day the fact that I do have to feed my Island Crew completely slips my mind.

Evening Chores and Bed Time

The barefoot boys get their Read Aloud before bedtime. The barefot girls enjoy free time in their room. Me, I just enjoy the quietness of the night.
