I write the flow of the day before the kids wake. It looks like this: Clean rooms Bible Time/Devotions Breakfast Kitchen Clean-up Lessons [chore or activity] Lunch Kitchen Clean-up Lessons [chore or activity] General Clean-up Daddy's Home!! I insert different chores and activities as they are needed. Adding the date is a great idea, though, especially as a birthday approaches. I like the idea of translating something, too.

It was 5'x8' and the cheapest white board I've ever seen! Anna, I bought a shower tile board at the home improvement store for less than $15.

I'm doing my research here in La about HS my 10 y/o. Posts like these help me so much. This way I don't feel so overwhelmed and she still has some sense of "school" that she is used to.

I am really digging the white board idea. Now, only my oldest can read it, but I think it will help with transitions, etc. So, I'm going to keep an eye out in the back-to-school sales for a really good deal! Thanks for sharing.

But, I keep the white board in the dinning room. We spend our indoor time split fairly evenly between the dinning room and the family room.
