Confessions of a Homeschooler The Diary of a Frugal Family the teacher wife Monthly Habit: July – Swish and swipe Welcome to July! We are at the start of a brand new month and that means it’s time for a brand new habit. This month, we’ll be working on the Swish and Swipe of the bathroom. The simple habits we establish can help us to never see dirt again. – FlyLady Swishing and swiping is so much easier when you have good tools. Here are the habits we have covered so far this year. Don’t forget to keep up with the habits you created. What does Swish and Swipe Mean? Dear Friends, As part of my morning routine I clean my bathroom. It don’t take much time to do this either. To accomplish this you need a couple of things to keep in your bathroom. Here is the swipe part. There you have it Swish and Swipe! Now go gather up some window cleaner for the bathroom and look in the bathroom closet for some shampoo or some cleaner that will work for swishing the toilet. FlyLady Testimonial: Another Way to Swish Hi FlyLady! With gratitude, FlyBaby Barb in Pittsburgh FlyLady here: What a great idea.
Homeschool Creations Simple Little Home: Our Daily Schedule Until I tried to figure out how to upload a PDF document to a blog (so that it's downloadable for readers), I considered myself to be a relatively tech-savvy person. Now, humbled, I know that I am no such thing and am skipping the downloadable chart I made that my family uses (at least for now), and am instead posting our schedule in straight-up text. Even I should be able to handle that... (smile). Might I just mention, as a precursor to the schedule below, that we almost never follow this exactly? Here it is... Morning Routine (7:00 am-9:00 am): No one gets out of bed until 7. Morning Chores (9:00 am -10:00 am): I do all of my house cleaning in about an hour per day. Here is what gets my attention each day of the week. Every day, our kids are presented with tasks which allow them to earn "commission." Morning School (10:00 am -11:30 am): We do morning calendar binders (you can read more about that here) which include calendar, weather, and time management pieces, among others. See?
