As for the schedule, I used to think a schedule was too restrictive and would stress me out too much, but now that 3 of my four children are home school age, I find MUCH COMFORT in our newly made schedule!

Thank you so much for giving us a "glimpse" into your daily schedule. I love that you plan your meals 30 days in advance. I think I'd like to try something like that. We also don't watch much television and we "stay home." Driving around town just gobbles up too much time and, besides, we kind of like being home. :) One question: where do you find time to blog and to do all of the bloggy-related things (read other blogs, comment on blogs, work with PR companies, do reviews, twitter, etc.)?

We threw away our television when our second oldest was born, seven years ago, and my husband and I both agree that this was a great decision for our family. Not only is it not missed, but we have so much more time to do projects, read, and spend time together as a family.

I hope to be this organized and scheduled someday. Right now our life is heading for big changes and we don't have our own house yet so my battle to be totally on top of things is really hard...But I see that in the near future things will get back to normal for us. Now that we have a baby I know the need for scheduling time to be able to get it all done. Your blog is a great help to me for ideas,thanks for writing! I look forward to reading your future post's... :) ~Cierra Wow,you are amazing! I hope to be this organized and scheduled someday.

Loving your blog. Also, I feel strongly that keeping possessions and "extracurriculars" to a minimum is one important key to happiness as a mom and homemaker. Genius, pure genius. Loving your blog.

We do rotate toys, but we don't have an attic and we live in military housing so there isn't a ton of storage. We also move every 2 years so living with less is sometimes easier. If I had an attic, or stayed in one spot for longer I would probably do more toy rotation. Toni Monique-

I can see how having more kids to help would make cleaning much faster. Thank you for sharing what works for your family. Why don't you save toys in the attic for the next child? We rotate our toys. I use a large bed in a bag to store them in. I change out the toys about every 6 weeks. And what they outgrow I store for the next one. You are amazing!

I struggle to get up early enough for exercise and quiet time and shower before my littles wake up. Something has to go... or change. But, back to my question... do you have a time set aside to exercise? It’s me here again :) I know I already asked the blog-time questions… but what about exercise too?

Thanks! I'd like to hear more about those years your husband had to work a lot. We are in that stage with a 7, 5, 2 and 6mo old and while my Hubby is a gem and very helpful with the kids I'm constantly feeling unable to catch up and desperately deprived of time with my Husband. Eve has more kids than I do but I SO relate to her comment...it's a monopoly! I just found your blog and I appreciate your insight. Thanks!
