It makes so much sense! My sister-in-law sent me here after I wrote about my desire to find a balance between regimented/flexible scheduling. I like what I see!

They are the highlights of our day, the parts where if we don't do it, I hear about it! Not read during lunch - horrors! Play anything but Classical for schooling - I get lectured on the Mozart effect! LOL! Perhaps I shouldn't have brought dd to quite so many of my college classes.

I think we already do a lot of pegging and it's good to have something to call it and make it a tad more formalized. I have just been trying to keep my head above water since the babies were born, and it's good to see how someone else with a larger family does it. (Also thanks for posting the link to Large Family Logistics!) While we've always had a routine, I've had a problem with trying to fit some square pegs into round holes (ahem). So it's nice to see how you are making all this work in a fashion which seems very workable and also individual. Sonetimes my problem is that I seem to need permission (of sorts) to do things differently than the way I think I'm "supposed" to do them. Thanks for this post.

I'm hooked on learning all your 'not supermom' secrets. It's such common sense information like this that I need, while we are in the thick of it. Thanks for sharing.

I love the idea of music with breakfast, we usually have piano practice directly after, but listening to a piece during would be a lovely way to wake up. Thanks so much for sharing this!

I plan to be more deliberate on what we peg!

I need to take another look at our schedule and see where the pegs are here. Thanks! This makes so much sense. I need to take another look at our schedule and see where the pegs are here. Thanks!
