Planner Blog purpose

I want to start doing some pre-school activities with Claire on a regular basis . I just got a book on doing Montesorri at home. We also have a hand-full of books on related topics and I want to start incorporating church feasts too.I also want to do menu planning and cooking ahead and follow a schedule for chores and prayer because things have gone to pot around here and I need to get my time organized so I can get done what needs to be done.
