As an educator, I applaud you and all of the stay at home moms because when your kids come to my classroom I know immediately that they had the blessing of a stay at home mom.

As a teacher, I am hopelessly unorganised but last summer my daughter and I drew up a schedule with fun things to do while the baby was napping and it worked so well. The kids in my class respond so well when their day is written out in the morning for them. But like you say, you have to be organised in the first place!

People always ask how my daughter is so happy and easy going, and it's because she has a consistent schedule that she knows and makes her feel secure. I think having structure to the day makes things so much easier!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03929290747231959841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-108194060749821039.post-42833604878109331332010-12-29T18:34:55.009-08:002010-12-29T18:34:55.009-08:00Love the pic, it's hilarious!Love the pic, it's hilarious!Datssocutehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09936651436125956081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-108194060749821039.post-71331590857602141972010-12-29T17:42:38.120-08:002010-12-29T17:42:38.120-08:00I LOVE that picture!I LOVE that picture!Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03609160867459911398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-108194060749821039.post-85851604732953263282010-12-29T17:12:54.171-08:002010-12-29T17:12:54.171-08:00I REALLY loved this post!
