I am a routine person! I like structure and a schedule. It must be the teacher in me. During my years in the classroom, I became very good at lesson planning. I would spend HOURS setting up my weekly schedule at the beginning of the year, but once I found a way to fit everything in, weekly planning was a breeze! Filling in what I would teach in every subject for the whole week only took about an hour!
I look at making a schedule for my now PRESCHOOLER the same way. Once I find a way to fit everything in, life gets much easier. Do things come up? Do plans ever change? Absolutely! Kids will get sick, family things come up, meltdowns happen, but I have found that having a schedule to fall back on makes everything run smoother. So here is what our Fall will HOPEFULLY look like:

As you can probably tell, I like to be busy! My daughter will be attending preschool 3 days a week this year, so that will give me more time to get things done around the house, hit the gym, and run errands alone!
For extracurricular activities, Reagan will be doing swim, dance, yoga, and gymnastics. This does seem like a lot, but we are going to give it a chance and see how it goes. If she doesn’t enjoy one of the activities, I am more than happy to drop one after the session is over.
Tot School is little lessons I do at home with my daughter. We have so much fun learning together that I didn’t want to stop just because she is going to preschool. I will be sharing the activities that we do during these times on the blog.
If you have any questions, please let me know! Happy Back-to-School!
You are amazing ❤️
