Lesson Plans - Week 3

And the 3rd week of plans is now available. The dinner menu is all from Can You Stay for Dinner? This website has healthy, low-fat meals. I can not say if they are tasty, as I have not tried them yet. I'll get back to you on that. Just go to the "Weekly Mommy Plans" at the top of the page.

I just started the plans this week. So I just finished up the 1st week of plans. I have to say, it's going pretty well. I'll admit, I didn't get to everything. My downfall seems to be exercise. Grrr. I really need to make that happen. Plus, I have been having a hard time getting to some of the cleaning duties. I really need to get better at keeping the toddler occupied. Too much time is spent trying to keep him from scaling furniture or defacing things with the pens he has somehow gotten from the baby-proofed drawer. (He might be a spy one day.)

The photos on here are highlights of this week. I am taking pictures each week. You'll notice in the 2nd week of plans, I have started a scrap-booking project during learning time. I will let them use the photos from the previous week to paste in their books. They will write about what we did. The 9-year old will write on his own, but the 5-year old will dictate his sentences to me. They will get to add sticker to the page afterwards. We think I may only be able to stay at home for a year due to finances. So, this is the year of Mommy and I want to make sure they remember what we did.

Second Week Of Mommy Lesson Plans

Very excited to have finished next week's "Lesson Plans". It seemed like they took forever to make because I kept getting interrupted. As moms, I'm sure you can relate. In fact, I just got interrupted again trying to write this post!
The Dinner recipes have been taken from the website Ready Set Eat. I like this site because it offers simple, inexpensive recipes that take little time to prepare. If you ever want to access past plans, just click on the tab above.
Mommy Lesson Plans Week 2

The First Set of Mommy Plans!

So excited by my first set of Mommy Lesson Plans! I have written a schedule to post in my house so that my kids know what to expect. For me, the schedule and plans are more of a guideline. They are not written in stone and if we don't get to some of it, oh well. I just feel better when I have a plan. (The schedule has graphics from Black Crow. Beautiful, isn't it?)

The Lesson Plans have active links to the different activities and recipes. Also, the household duties have been taken from several websites that inspire me. Of course there will be a journal post on this later.
The links below are PDF's. If you would like a Microsoft Office document that you can alter for yourself, feel free to email me at mommylessonplans@gmail.com.

The reflections portion is a chance to reflect on the things you are grateful for and a kindness that you have done that day. This is based on a book that I am reading called The Happiness Advantage. (Yet, another future post.)

And here they are:

I will put links to each weeks' plans on the Weekly Lesson Plans page. That way you can revisit any week you want.
