He'd snack either on the way or at the playdate<br /> 11:00am: back home<br /> 11:30am: lunch<br /> 12:00pm: quiet play<br /> 12:30pm: nap (mommy time!)<br /> 3:00pm: up from nap, snack<br /> 3:30pm: playgroup or music class<br /> 5:30pm: dinner<br /> 6:00pm: play with Daddy as I clean up from lunch/dinner<br /> 6:30pm: bath, bedtime </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-daily-routines#post-113829 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 12:51:32 +0000 Honeybee 113829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ Looch &amp; @ Babychin - Thanks!

The day starts when she decides to wake up 6-7:30am. I feed her breakfast and we play until her nap (3 hours after wake time). After her nap she'll eat lunch and I usually take her out to the market, mall, play at home, or we have a play date! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-daily-routines#post-111288 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 15:38:42 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 111288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is a great site for things to do with your kids! <a href="http://www.productiveparenting.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.productiveparenting.com/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-daily-routines#post-111257 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 14:55:49 +0000 Honeybee 111257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ Looch - DD is 22 months. She's definitely an active little monkey, too! </p> <p>Do you have a resource for activities? I'd like to get some more ideas on fun, engaging activities for her, and I like the Montessori style quite a bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-daily-routines#post-111115 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 13:13:29 +0000 looch 111115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee: how old is your toddler? My son is 15 months and we're still doing 2 naps a day, but your schedule looks a lot like what I will do with my son once we drop the afternoon nap.</p> <p>Instead of free play and circle time, I'll have Montessori style activities set up that DS can work with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-daily-routines#post-110856 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 09:09:16 +0000 heffalump 110856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have a set routine. It depends what time she wakes up, and what I need to do that day. The things that we do the same every day are:</p> <p>Wake up, change and feed LO. Two hours later is nap time. When she wakes up, change and feed her. If it's a meal time I'll feed her solids before her bottle. Repeat until bath time at 8:00, we bath her, put her in pj's, give her a bottle, then bed.</p> <p>In between it just depends what needs to be done. We play, go for walks, I'll put her in the pack n play, jumper, etc. when I need to make dinner, do dishes, laundry, etc.</p> <p>I'm pretty sure with two kids.... you guys will never get bored! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-daily-routines#post-110840 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 09:00:30 +0000 Honeybee 110840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Any SAHMs out there care to share their daily routine? I am new to this SAHM thing, and with both an infant and toddler, I'd like to have a structure in place so we can actually get things done. Here's my schedule so far:</p> <p>6:00 am - I'm up and get ready<br /> 7:00 am - DD's gets up and gets dressed<br /> 7:30 am - Breakfast<br /> 8:00 - 9:00 am - DD has free play; I clean up the kitchen/gets the dishwasher started, then join her play<br /> 9:00 - 9:30 am - "Circle Time" (stories, music, rhymes, etc...)<br /> 9:30 - 11:30 am - Activity time (park, walks, hikes, indoor baby gym, play dates, etc...)<br /> 11:30 - 12:00 pm - DD has arts/crafts time while I make lunch<br /> 12:00 - 12:30 pm - Lunch<br /> 12:30 - 3:30 pm - DD's nap; I get "Mommy Time" :)<br /> 3:30 - 4:00 pm - DD's snack; she also gets to watch tv, if she wants<br /> 4:00 - 5:00 pm - DD has free play again while I start prepping dinner<br /> 5:30 - 6:00 pm - Dinner<br /> 6:00 - 6:30 pm - Play time with Daddy<br /> 6:30 - 7:00 pm - Bath time<br /> 7:00 - 7:30 pm - Bed time routine<br /> 7:30 pm - Bed time</p> <p>DD will still go to daycare two days a week, so those days I'll do the majority of the housecleaning/errands and my schoolwork (I'm working on my Master's right now). Anyone have any suggestions? Does this schedule look busy enough to keep us from getting bored? I'll also be taking care of DS throughout the day, but he's pretty easy, so I'm not too concerned about him. </p>
