Summary

I found an old schedule I made that included an hour of "Circle Time" and fifteen minutes for "Planning Healthful Meals!" and I cannot stop laughing. Needless to say, it didn't last a week. But that's all part of the process.

*If you could take a second to leave a short review on iTunes (or wherever you listen to this podcast) I'd appreciate it! I read every review personally and they make my day.* - Jen

It is not my gifting it's not my calling I have an anti-blue flame in that area. No Circle Time with

And I even worked in clean up time for cleaning up after lunch, like I wasn't just going to leave all the plates on there and just ignore it

1:57.5

until five minutes before my husband came home.

2:01.6

Needless to say, guess how long that schedule lasted? I think one of the kids ripped it off the
