Well I have successfully added a few new routines to our lives. Every morning we have family work time where the kids and I clean up the house. This has been wonderful because the house has been staying so much cleaner and doing it every day makes it so we don’t have as much build up and the kids know what to expect. We have also started going to the gym almost every weekday. I have started a water aerobics class 3 times a week and I love it. I have also started planning meals in 2 week increments and only going shopping once every 2 weeks. This helped us to more closely stick to out grocery budget for the month (it was a little over because we got new bed stuff for our kids). It has been nice to have a bit more of a routine. I have several other things I want to add into our schedule one a time. I want to add 1. 20-30 mins of reading time 2. A learning/lesson time for Michael. 3. I want to get back into the habit of scripture reading and prayer. But for now I am satisfied with the habits I am forming and will try to add in a new one once this one feels strongly established.
