Hello and good morning!
Welcome back to Classy Classics By Kandis!
How did your morning go?
This week has been just crazy in my house! The kids are all home, and we are trucking along on the remote learning! My house is still standing, I have not pulled out all my hair, plus my dishes are done!
Well at least for now they are haha.
Its funny how the afternoon was used for before whether it is when the older kids were smaller, or when they at school. I don’t know what the year will entail, all I know is that I still need a solid afternoon routine!
I have always been a routine girl, well since I became a full time at home mom, and my routines deffinlty got stronger as we had more kids. There is something about the afternoon that makes the day just go bye fast! I find that the afternoon is a very mixed time, between either getting the other chores done when the littles are napping, or maybe trying to put my feet up.
The afternoon is a time where if I blink my day is done and now im struggling. It is strange to know and see the effects of routines when I had slowed down on them.
I have been redoing my routines, these past weeks! I started with my morning routine, then afternoon, evening then the block system!
Did you catch the morning routine blog?
I will leave a link here if you did not catch it!
A GOOD DAY STARTS WITH A GOOD MORNING ROUTINE!
I find a morning routine is where I needed to start in trying to get my chaos under control! There was a big gap of summer break and the uncertanty of what was happening that made a lot of stress here!
Let me tell you a little bit about my house and why I am on board fully with routines, and why I love them and rely on them!
I am a stay at home mom of 4 kids! 11,9,3 1/2 and 1 1/2 year old! We have decided to keep the older kids home, to do schooling here.
There is just always someone needing something, telling on someone, crumbs EVERYWHERE, and just so much happening. I decided to go full force on routines a couple years ago, it was before we were expecting the 3rd, and now…. I love my routines and I tend to get a little ancy, little stressed and a little stretched when I don’t have my routines happening!
MY AFTERNOON ROUTINE
I try not to have as much on my list for the afternoon!
Well not as many but maybe bigger tasks. My afternoon runs me roughly from 12 to 5 lets say. There isn’t really to much of a time on this because naps are in the afternoon. I LOVE NAP TIME! Thought I should point that out lol.
My routine will be more of:
-lunch
-clean up
-wipe the kitchen
-dishes
-sweep
-kids down for nap
-zone cleaning or to finish a task (there is some stuff that is easier at nap)
-finish schooling
-kids have a afternoon (after school) routine
-prep supper
Then that will kinda be wrapping up the afternoon!
Like I said my afternoon does not include any new tasks. If I am looking to clean the van, or work downstairs ect. Thses are the tasks that can be easier at nap.
Just like in the morning routine, your routine might not look like anything of mine. You may not even have a afternoon routine. Maybe its just a afterschool routine, the routines are there if it is what YOUR house needs.
Do you have a afternoon routine?
What is your afternoon set for?
There is so many versions of a routine the sky is the limit! With a strong morning routine, I find that my afternoon is not as fast paste! With how the house is going with the schooling here I am finding it more important then ever to try to schedual my days to the fullest.
HOW TO CREATE THE ROUTINE
When I start sketching out my afternoon routine it can fall into place easier then the other routines I find as it is almost just the filler time.
I had made my morning routine, then when I did the afternoon, just as the others for about a week I do what I am doing and make a list of what was done in the afternoon. Then I would get a feel for what could or should be done.
With knowing what fits best into my afternoon routine then I could crop one out on paper! I find that a week is a good time frame for it, as a lot of stuff can come up in a week.
So if there is going to be a task that would work better another time, you will see it.
Make your schedual work with you, but be flexable enough to work with the schedual! Make sure you have your time frame out so you know what you are working with.
Don’t worry if your routine is not like other.
OTHERS ARE NOT YOU!
YOU ARE YOU!
YOUR ROUTINE IS YOURS!
Maybe your afternoon routine is to tidy up, nap, shower and get ready to go! Just make sure when you are making the routine you know the time frame to be working in, this is so you don’t over book yourself but, you still are getting what you need done!
More on that statement coming with the block system!
