MPM & Monday Meanderings

Last week was pretty productive, now we just need to keep that up! It’s a busy week that lies ahead, especially since the girls have extra ballet classes this week, to make up for a class that got snowed-out in March. They normally have class on the same day, but their makeup classes are on different days so that’ll add a lot to our schedule.

1.) Bible Study: Morning devotions using this site to study my bible chronologically.

2.) “MUST Do” List:

• Stick to my daily schedule (as God allows) for morning devotions, taking care of the home and home-schooling.
• I finished sorting and organizing all the papers and bills last week. I have a few things left in the action pile that must be taken care of this week.
• Take the girls to ballet, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday!!
• Iron Big Daddy’s clothes for each day, as a labor of love.

3.) Taking Care of My Home:

This week I’m going to try to take care of as many monthly chores as possible, so the schedule will be a bit different.

Daily Chores and then focus on these areas for weekly chores:

• Monday – Kitchen; Wash Lights
• Tuesday – Dining Room; Wash Darks
• Wednesday – Living Room; Wash Towels & Little Prince’s Bedding
• Thursday – Master Bedroom & Bathroom; Wash Lights & Master Bedding
• Friday – Kids’ Rooms; Wash Darks & Girls’ Bedding

Saturday has a smaller list of daily chores anyway, so we’ll do that and then tackle the monthly chores.

• Saturday – Wash Whites; Monthly household chores

4.) Training My Children:

• Daily basics (Math, Grammar, Handwriting, Spelling, Reading)
• History – Ancient Rome – Go to the library and get more books, too!
• Science – Plant reproduction and growth.
• Life Lessons from the Princess and the Kiss

5.) Menu Plan Monday:
