I'm a busy lady but I still find time for cleaning, cooking, quality time, and time for myself. This is my life day in and out. On weekends we go to zoos, aquariums, or parks. I go grocery shopping every Saturday morning at 7am. My ideal day is exactly what I wrote. I strive for routine and schedule.

Sorry it's so long. It's my life though! My cousin has lived with us for close to two years now and is part of our family.

Answer 2

We get up around 6:00 am. We take my husband to work and then come home and make breakfast. During the time from around 7:00 am to around 11:00 am....he will usually do any of the following: watch favorite DVD's, play for a bit on the computer, make crafts/draw/play with play doh, floam, clay, etc. He usually goes down for his nap around 11 and sleeps until around 1 or so. He gets up and has lunch, and after that is when we run our errands..until we pick up my husband around 3:30. We come home and he keeps himself busy with playing, etc..We eat dinner anytime between 5-6. I give him his bath, read him some books...and he is usually in bed around 7:30-8:00 pm.

Answer 4

I get up before my family (around 5:30am) and walk the dog for 45 minutes (my time)

Hop in the shower and get ready, have coffee with hubby before he heads out, make my 5 yr od son breakfast and get him ready for the day (clean clothes, hair, face, hands & teeth)

I work part time (11am to 3pm) so after breakfast we hang out playing, reading or doing chores around the house, somedays we walk to the local coffee stand for a latte and juice :0)

Then pre-school and work. Afterward we head home or run errands, I usually have an early dinner ready so we can chill or play (lot's of hide'n'seek at our house) Then bath and bed.

It does artwork in case you to stick to it. sturdy luck l

Answer 6

I have two children: My daughter (dd) is 22 months old and my son (ds) is 3.5 months old.

In the morning I try to sleep in a little with ds, or if he wakes up early, I get up with him so he doesn't wake his sister up. If dd wakes up first, my husband (dh) gets up with her.

One of us makes breakfast, I nurse the kiddos, and dh usually changes their diapers and gets them dressed. He heads off to work and I pack the diaper bag for our day.

Most days we have a playgroup in the morning for a couple hours. This lets dd work off some energy and socialize with her friends while I give her brother a little one-on-one time. Mondays is the homeschooling co-op preschool, Tues.-Thurs. are playgroups, and Fri. I usually get together with a few friends and their kiddos at a local cafe with a play corner. Sat. dd goes to a dads' playgroup with her father.

We come home for lunch, I nurse the kiddos and settle them down for a nap, and take a little break. Then we spend the afternoon at home cleaning and puttering, playing, and making dinner, or we head out to do errands. If we're out and about, I try to stop somewhere fun in the middle, like the library or a playground. If we're at home, we usually go for a walk or get outside at least once.

When dh comes home, we have dinner, then I nurse ds and get him into jammies while dh takes dd for a walk and reads her a story. One of us will help her get on her jammies and brush her teeth, sometimes she has a bedtime nurse, and then she's out.
