Four Square Planning:

There are four main parts of any mom’s life. Faith, Kids, School and Household. If you are

taking a break from school, you can delete that column. Here are some squares to get you

started. I’ll include some blanks for you. Review your plan daily.

Faith:

Pray daily—first time during the day,

lunchtime, at night? Make a plan.

Bible reading.

Time to listen to God—very important part of

your day.

Spiritual / character for each child

Specific academic goals

Plan for free time to explore interests or read-

ing.

School

How is it going? Are you following a sched-

ule or a routine. Is it working? If not what can

you change?

Special events / or planning for projects

1. Use some fun national holidays to infuse

your school day with something to look

forward to, such as Columbus Day, choc-

olate or pasta day, fall harvest — and

even, new friend day.

2. Tweak your routine if needed if things

don’t work.

Household

Monthly meal plan—plan out your month

once and let your meals go on auto pilot.

Weekly menu—bulk cooking, doubling or tri-

pling a recipe and freezing extra meals.

(Keep track with an erasable marker board

on your freezer.)
