A Plan for Joy in the Home

"A Plan for Joy in the Home" is my answer to all of the Catholic homeschooling moms I meet who are overwhelmed by all that needs to get done. This workshop was born out of my desire to help these mothers make a plan for their day so that they can focus on more important things; like bringing joy to those around them.

There is nothing that can take joy away faster than a disorganized, harried mother. What school work needs to be done? Did I say my morning prayers? What is for dinner? My husband, who's he? Am I supposed to take time out for myself?

If these things sound familiar to you, chances are you are in need of a bit of organizing.

In this workshop I tackle five areas that I think are very important to every Catholic homeschooling mother's day:

We go through each of these areas and talk about them, pray about them and then finally try to organize them. Once we get through all five areas, I walk each attendee through putting them all together into a master schedule that will be used as a guide to their days.

Mind you, a schedule is a tool - not a slave driver. It is also something that, once in place, should not be ignored. It is a tool that can be changed and tweaked until everyone in the family is comfortable with it. It is also an important way to make some of the regularly occurring things of the day more routinized so that you can focus on more important matters.

Through the use of this plan, you should find yourself much more in control of your day, and hopefully joy will come more naturally to you. The less stressed you are, the more joyful you can be and the more you can spread that joy to others.
