I don't think I'd keep my sanity without our two hour afternoon quiet time!

I get overwhelmed thinking of all I need to do. I need to remember to just "do the next thing". Thank you for posting this! I need to remember that. I get overwhelmed thinking of all I need to do.

I have to say they did such a good job I wanted to beg them to move in with me. But, of course, my mom just keeps saying, "I don't know how you do it?" In the near future I hope to utilize my soon-to-be daughters-in-laws because they are very good at languages like Latin and Greek. I also hope I can return the favor someday by helping them homeschool their children. The older I get the more important "do the next thing" becomes. I am sure Elizabeth feels the same way.

I know the Shepard family, Val, Elizabeth, Christiana... Thanks for the story. I love it. I can just hear Val saying that. I recently quoted out of Mrs. Beeton's Book of Household Management about the woman's good temper setting the tone for the household. Oh boy have I heard that one over and over ever since. It's good for me, right? I love this. I know the Shepard family, Val, Elizabeth, Christiana… Thanks for the story. I love it. I can just hear Val saying that.

In our home, quiet hour is actually 3 hours! 1pm-4pm. I schedule all social worker home visits during this time, and they are always amazed that a home with 7 children can be completely quiet. I treasured this time when I only had little children and they all took naps. Now I find that my older children love this time too. It's quiet, peaceful and it energizes us for the remainder of the day! Love it! In our home, quiet hour is actually 3 hours! 1pm-4pm.
