Wow, September already, huh? I hope you all had a fantastic weekend and Labor Day. Over the weekend my sister, Amanda, and I had a surprise birthday party Mother Dear. We had a wonderful time and she had no idea about it! We were thrilled! It was her 40th birthday and we wanted to something special, though we have been thinking about the Drews Family TX all week. Please continue to pray for them and offering your words of comfort and encouragement. We also published our September issue of Growing In Grace Magazine the layout is BEAUTIFUL. We had so many wonderful articles and three giveaways going! If you have a daughter, or are just a mother, please go check it out.
THEME
I hope last week’s theme helped you get a bigger view and maybe some ideas about different ways to homeschool or curriculum. There is so much to share and so I hope this helped, especially the new homeschoolers, narrow things down a bit. I am sure some of you are still getting into your homeschool routines. I know some people are very routine oriented while others may be more “day-by-day”, and it all depends on your family and what works best for your life-style. This week please post what your planned homeschool routine is. The theme banner should give you some ideas on how to do that. I had fun making that and adding in real info (except for the times! lol).
When you’re done posting your routines please share your prayers for this school year, and then sign the linky so others can visit.
Again, please enter in your DIRECT link to your HM post and not just your blog link. When others go back to look over the themes they will be able to go directly to your post rather than just your front page.
MY THEME
While I am going to be following Mother Dear’s lead with the routine here is what I plan to do for myself. I will be doing a lot of independent studies, I think.
7:30 – Rise, feed animals, do chores
8:00 – Read Bible chapters, prayer time
8:30 – Hygiene – brush my teeth, get dressed, hair/make-up
8:40 – 20minutes room sweep
9:00 – Check email, read comments, post (if scheduled)
9:30 – Start mathematics
10:30 – Write articles (Growing In Grace Magazine, Feelin’ Feminine, Homeschool Seniors, A Pondering Heart)
12:00 – See about lunch
1:00 – Manage business work (GGM ads, A Pondering Heart designs, The Homesteading Carnival)
That’s all I’m planning to for now. I know Mother Dear has some wonderful plans for school, including learning Spanish, Bible-Ancient History-Jewish Culture Study, Science, and lapbooking. I’m not sure how well I can stick to this routine, but at least I have some goals set forth and perhaps that will give me more motivation to stick with it.
Blessings!

I love this week’s theme! I really needed to write out my routine so that I could know what I need to do and just do it!
Thanks for such great themes!
Love you Sis!
Amanda
Thanks dear. Love you too sissy. ((HUGS))
ok so I didn’t say when we would brush our teeth. I guess that’s a given. ;O) I also swish n’ swipe the restroom before I leave that vicinity each day.
So that’s what homeschool lookes like later?
Happy belated birthday to your mom.
What a great theme. Follows the last one very well. We know what we are doing, but how?
Working on mine!
blessings ALL!!
Love this week’s theme. I love all kinds of planning and it is fun to see how others do things. Thanks.
I’m done! Routines look so different when you put them down in writing!! Thanks!

Wednesday already?! Where is the time going???
This is a fun topic. I posted mine, and signed Mr. Linky. Thanks for heading this up, Jocelyn! God Bless you!
I love this meme! It’s so fun… glad I found it!
Miss Jocelyn ,
Thank you once again for getting me to get it down on paper !
Blessings in Him<

This is a great meme! I just tweaked our schedule yesterday and so this was a great way for me to get it written down. And I will ask the same thing as your momma. How will we do it all? Have a great day!
Ok, I forgot to add in the personal hygiene as well…..oh well we actually do brush our teeth. Our routine is still in the struggling to get it to work stage
Soon, though.
I love setting aside time like this each week to sit down and really think about and work through what I’m doing
(Or, what I want to be doing!)
Ooops!!! That will teach me to rely on my computer remembering and automatically filling in forms for me. I posted the link to last week’s assignment. I couldn’t fix it, but I’ve got the correct link up there now
I actually thought for a minute ya’ll were off schedule this morning when I saw this…LOL. It was me off a day because we were able to enjoy an extra day with Dad… YEAH!!
Have a blessed week and try to stay dry!
Sallie
Lovely to read about a young lady with motivation. Keep up the good work missy!
Yay! I did it
I just can’t seem to make it any earlier than #61. This meme has helped me SO MUCH put together a schedule. THANK YOU.
I am not good for times, though I do have an attempted start time, and I have the estimated time the subjects should take.
Jocelyn — Didn’t you graduate? Is your schedule just to help you maintain a routine for “real life”? That sounds so silly, doesn’t it?! Nevermind…ROFL..
Sallie
Hi Jocelyn! Thanks for another great theme this week. I think this meme is helping me get more organized!
Hi Jocelyn. Thanks for this weeks theme.
I think I added more than was asked.
It was fun thinking about what the boys are doing this year.
And it actually was encouraging.
I think we `are` gonna make it through High School. Maybe even homeschool college..hmmm.
We are actually doing Lab w/ Biology, at home. Who would have thought?!
Blessings,
Michelle
Hi Jocelyn
What a joy to share! I’m looking forward to visiting some of the others this weekend. Blessings! Q
Great heme this week Jocelyn. Nice schedule you have planned so far.
I think I did it right this week. woot,woot! I will have to start visiting blogs tomorrow as my eyes are starting to cross! Have a great night!
What a Awesome meme for the week. I truly enjoy organization tools. This was truly wonderful.
Mrs. Debbie
I’m a guidelines kind of person, rather than a strict schedule kind of person, but I enjoyed this week’s meme. Thanks!
Mary Beth
That was fun to put together. I always do a schedule with no times, and then set up the times to what it seems easy to do.
Val
I really liked this theme, it really helped me figure out a better schedule having everything written down.
Rachelle
Another great theme this week. I have been working hard on putting together a routine that will work for our homeschool time, and it’s fun to be able to share it. I can’t wait to see what others share. Thank you for the great themes.
Well considering I’m the 123rd entry I’m kind of late in the game. I was still working on our schedule since we don’t start school activities till 1st, 2nd or 3rd week of Sept. I love making schedules (don’t stick to them with the same enthusiasm) and reading others.
I finally put my link on! Can’t wait for next week! I’ll hopefully be posting on Fridays, as that is my other blogging day.
Love JEss
Happy belated birthday to your mother! I’m sorry I’m so late with this week’s post. I’ll try to do better.
~Susan
These are super themes, Joc. You are doing a great job with this meme. I’m looking forward to catching up! Love the graphics, too. So classy!
Wow. That one was a challenge for me. Routine is a foreign word to me at the moment. Never fear, I figured out how to get around the assignment. Posted today.
Well, I finally have #3 up. Now if I can get #4 done like tomorrow, I’ll actually catch up. Ha! Ha! Like that’ll happen. Sounds good on paper, though.
Woops! Just realized I never linked up to this one even though I wrote it weeks ago!
It’s fun to see everyone’s schedules.
Hello!
New here, I’ll do my best.
