Momma, Mom, Mommy blogging through seasons of motherhood
My “Making the Holidays Family-Friendly” book just keeps growing and growing. I thought about doing the NaNoWriMo challenge but I am too busy right now, but I am telling you I could easily write 5,000-10,000 words a day. Does that make me a bigmouth?

what a change from last week
He changes times and seasons; he sets up kings and deposes them. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.
Daniel 2:21
Seasons come and seasons go, we cannot change them so we might as well see the beauty of each. ~ Penny

I have found that a loose schedule works best for us. But even better than a schedule is a routine. A routine works with any schedule. With a schedule you can still get lost if times get changed. But with a routine one thing comes after the other no matter what time it is. Here are two examples
routine-
get up, pray, take shower, brush teeth, get dressed, eat breakfast, start school
schedule-
6am get up, 6:05 pray, 6:25 shower, 6:30 brush teeth, 6:35 get dressed, 6:45 eat breakfast, 7:00 start school
but what if you wake up at 5am? or what if you want to pray for an hour? or what if you get up late?
If you have diciplined your children to respect a routine they get everything done and still give room for God to interrupt, the focus is on getting a job done and doing it well
With a schedule the focus is on the time clock, and isn’t that one reason we homeschool? So that our lives are not run by a clock?
We find that for us a routine teaches them to govern their own time and get things done. If we need to rearrange the timing it still works, and THAT works for me this Wednesday.

Well I am finishing up a new book today called Making the Holidays Family Friendly. You know there is so much stress involved that usually even though we say holidays are about family, it is all too often our families that suffer. Especially the little people, they seem to get pushed back into the shadows with some mischevious relative stuffing sugar into their mouths like their life depended on it. And the parents are so busy that they never even know why junior has a tummyache. Well it doesn’t need to be that way.
One of my main themes throughout the book is PLAN AHEAD. I repeat that theme a thousand times, well Ok, maybe a hundred, but you will feel like it is a thousand after reading it. You can start now by thinking coupons . Coupons for anything can be found online. But you have to PLAN AHEAD. Are you catching my train of thought yet? PLAN AHEAD? Start today.You can also find online coupons or codes for nearly everything you might need. From baking goods, to extra hand towels for the guests you have coming for the holidays. It isn’t hard you just have to PLAN AHEAD
