After School Routine Trying To Do It!

Hi good morning and welcome to Classy Classic's By Kandis. It's another week, another start, another routine.
There is always time for a strong routine. When placed in the right time zone can be extremely helpful, thrown together, and not thought about is just a waste.
In my mind it is that is!
I have routines to help set up my day! Between all the demands and different job tasks that are required as a stay at home mom, it can be difficult to remember, coordinate and accomplish it all.
I will point out that it is not our job to do it all.

Remember " you can do anything, but you can not to everything" this is a saying I'm trying to keep in my mind!

It can be hard when there is always something that needs to be done, and always someone that needs some mom time. How to do it all.

In my afternoon routine it is broken down to help me on track and focused. I get detracted really easy! With this I can keep my mind focused for a couple minutes as most tasks if just done should not take long.

What does a afternoon look like for this house? The afternoon is roughly from 12:00 pm till around 5:00pm.

I start with lunch, as its just the 2 little ones here for lunch depending on the activities in the day will depend on lunch.
Yes, they do eat lol, maybe it's all day snacks, maybe it's soup and sandwiches at exactly lunch time. It all depends!

With Masyn getting a little older I am currently weaning him off of naps! He will tend to fall asleep still in random places lol, and only get to nap for an hour or so.

Baby Dawsyn I try to get to nap in the afternoon, if I'm, lucky for a couple hours!

The afternoons are not as productive for cleaning, as it is in the morning. Hubby gets home around 2pm, the kids get home around 3:40 pm there is really only a couple hours in the afternoon. I will try to tidy up....again, maybe sit and relax a couple minutes. Depending on how the morning went finish those little things from my zone that day!

From noon too about 2 pm there is just small things getting done,

Lets get to after school when the business sets in!

I try to have a snack either picked out or prepped and ready for when they get home. The after school routine tends to not always get completed as time waits for no one. However we sure try lol.

When the big kids gets home it's go time for this mamma as I am needed in many places all at once.
We will unpack our backpack, I go through the agenda's and get them signed and back into the school bags, they unpack the lunch kits, wash their hands and have a snack. Then on to homework! There is not much as they are in elementary however there is still some! We do reading, spelling and if there is other homework due then that also.

If everyone needs showers that nightwe try to start before supper.
Then they have some free time before supper.

I then prep or finish making supper, clean off the table... there is always something there lol.
We set the table and get ready to eat.

This is roughly how the afternoons tend to look.

Now a lot happens in the afternoon other then getting what needs to be done for the next day, for the smaller stuff, as I do more tomorrow stuff I  my evening routine.

This is for next week, what an evening looks like in our house of 6.
