What An Afternoon!

Hi and good morning welcome back, it's a great day here on Classy Classic's By Kandis. 

This week's blog is for afternoon routine. This can be split up between many hours or a couple, it depends on how your afternoons works for you! 

When it comes to the afternoon in my house I split it up, my first block is from 1:00 pm-4:00 pm then from 4pm-8pm. 

So let's look at the first from 1:00-4:00 shall we! 

My afternoon routine is set up this way because at 1pm is the latest that Masyn my toddler is up, by 1 it's nap time. If my stars line up then both little ones will nap at this time. So if both kids are napping at the same time I have a couple options here, depending on what season It is and what is on the to do list I will then try to do either my workout or specific cleaning that can only really be done with no children. Example for the month of May is a complete camper clean out. 

So my workouts then tend to not happen as I try to work there instead, and if or when I can. Depending also how long the little ones sleep, will depend on what happens. 

As you can see my afternoon has little room, I will try to prep or start what I might need to for supper, or get stuff lined up, packed and situated for any after school activities there might be! 

Kids get home and they have their routine, not much unpack school bag, snack, homework and get ready to go if there is activities. I try to get them to pack their lunches for the next day also if there is time. 

I find these afternoon routines more easy to keep and maintain to help the day out more in the winter months, as we are confined to inside. 

So let's recap and smooth this out, Yes? Little one or if lucky both go for naps. Work out or cleaning project as there is very little chances to do both in this season of life. Supper prep, activities prepped and packed for, kids home from school, and their stuff done. 

This will run to the 4:00 If not past depending on what is happening that day. I should point out I am constantly swapping laundry, as I only try to use the clothes line in the summer my last load needs to be out on the line by between 3 and 4pm. 

So any time in between I will fold laundry if it's ready. Those little tasks that are always there are my spare minute fillers. It takes only a short time to fold laundry, pick up a little, wipe the table etc. 

With these short hours what I have left to try to accomplish is a fast past if I'm trying to be productive haha. 

There you have it what I try to have my early afternoon look like, I need to work on remembering if this does not line up it is ok. 

Summer is short and I need to enjoy what I can when I can, because soon we will be inside again and can do what I need to in the house. 

This is hard for me as I tend to feel disappointed if everything does not get done. Which yes I realize is possible, I can't do everything in the house and outside all in one day. 

How does your afternoon go? Chill and relax, certain goals, or balls to the wall? 

Let me know how you do early afternoon! I would love to hear some ideas to smooth out the afternoon as summer is coming, and we will be outside instead. 

Lets help each other to be able to enjoy summer to the fullest this year. 

Till next blog have a great afternoon, know matter what your afternoon may entail!
