Wow! I am so impressed. I am a first time mommy. My little one is 4 months old and I’m having the hardest time just managing the three of us (my husband, me and her). Thanks for sharing your techniques!

I LOVE MOTH and my schedule. I, too, am not a morning person. So I have 2 hours in the morning for my coffee, nursing and computer time, while the kids do their Bible study and chores and have breakfast. Then they have a short time of school work before we all get started.

We also stop the schedule fairly early, but we scheduled baths because no one was taking them. LOL. Now everyone gets bathed.

Judy, yes do an alternate schedule for when he is home. If those are his only days home, do fun stuff with the kids on those days. She mentions that in the book.

For those of you wanting to start but not quite there yet, just remember the schedule is YOURS. Make of it what you will. Sleep till 9 if that’s what your family likes.

I had a post about this on my blog if you are interested.

I bought this book a few months ago. I listed it on Craigslist a few weeks ago (didn’t sell). I’ll have to look over it again. I was so intimidated by the women who wake up at 4am and don’t go to bed until 11pm. Seriously?! I need my sleep. Especially in the morning hours.

I haven’t heard of this either, I’ll give it a look. I desperately need a schedule, I’m so frazzled all the time.

Hello! Thank you for sharing! I have a rough schedule, and I’m working on refining it.

I hadn’t heard of this system before. Looks great–especially for homeschoolers. I think everyone benefits from a great schedule.

I have had the MOTH book for atleast 3 years now and I STILL don’t have a schedule in place. A few times I have made one up. Just last week I started making one. But like you I am not a morning person (or a late night person anymore either) so I feel like I failed before I begin because I am not up at 5 a.m. doing devotions and exercising. Reading your post was encouraging. I am going to re-look at the schedule and use Monday as our Start date.

Question—what do you do if your hubby is home during the day? Do you schedule him? My husband has Wednesday and Thursday’s off every week.

Thanks,
Judy

I started a schedule this year. Although we are still learning what works and what doesn’t. I have found it to be a HUGE help!!!!!!!

I think also that some ppl may get frustrated b/c they think they have to STICK to it. Be flexible!!

Thanks Toni:)
