I get to stay home this summer!

I am excited that I am staying home with my kids this summer.  I am quitting work at the end of May and will pursue nursing school in the Fall.  I have never been home with either of my kids for this long.  I am very excited to spend so much more time with them.  Any advice from mom's who stay home?  Should I stick to a routine/schedule each day and plan activities?  Not sure what to do here! Smile  Thanks!

    Congrats! I love staying home! I normally stick to a basic schedule. Breakfast, lunch, and naps are all around the same time everyday. I think it helps keep my kids from getting overly hungry or tried. It helps keep any fits to a minimum. We spend a lot of time outside. My boys would live out there if I let them. We have lots of neighbors, so most of our get together are impromptu.

    I figured we will have a lot of outside time this summer which is good.  It will keep my DD busy!  I think I will try to develop a routine for them.  This will be so different from the regular weekend routine but I am excited for the change!

    We don't have a real schedule we are VERY flexible. We run errands, play eat and sleep when ever we can where ever we are. It works for us.

    Congrats on going to nursing school!  I've been a nurse for 7 years and the schedule is so flexible so you can make it work for your family.  I took a long break after DD was born so I stayed at home with her until she was 8 months.  We established a routine that has adjusted of course as she's gotten older, but she sticks to the same schedule whether she's she home with me, or at the baby sitter's house.  I participated in my area's Meetup Mommy Group when I SAH, but I don't get to often anymore now that i'm back to work.
