admin Cabin fever has been setting in lately with no Target runs or play dates due to the stay at home order. I knew I needed to have some sort of written schedule to have some structure to my and my boys’ day. I have always had a loose schedule since I do stay at home with my sons but it was not working anymore. So I decided to make a post on a stay at home mom schedule with an infant and toddler to motivate myself to make one and to help other moms in a similar situation.
I was starting to feel blah and my mental health was starting to suffer. So I decided to create a schedule catered to the quarantine that we are all going through. If you are feeling the same, then I hope this schedule can help provide structure and give you some sanity back in your days.
Obviously, with littles, the schedule won’t always go as planned and it may need some tweaking. But having a guide to follow can make all the difference. Let’s face it, littles thrive off of routine and I do too! Stay safe and stay healthy! Pin Below for reference.

My Typical Stay At Home Mom Schedule With An Infant And Toddler
6 A.M.: Me Time (Coffee, Devotion, Journal/Planner) I do my best to get up before the boys but doesn’t always happen.
6:30/7:00 A.M.: Up With My Oldest Luke (Youngest may still be asleep)
7:30-8:00 A.M.: Both Boys are up and it’s time for Breakfast (I nurse Levi before I feed him solids)
8:00 or 8:30 A.M-9:00 A.M.: Luke & Levi play together in the living room (independent play) while I *attempt* to do some house work (laundry, dishes, or whatever tidying up needs to be done)
9:00-9:30 A.M.: Play time w/ the boys. I get on the floor and play with them giving them my full attention.
9:30-10:30 A.M.: Get outside if weather permits or take a drive so we can all get out of the house even if it is just staying in the car.
10:30 A.M.: Snack time for my oldest Luke
10:45-11:00 A.M.: Get Luke & Levi ready for a nap. I nurse Levi then lay him down first. Then I read a couple books to Luke and put him down next.
11:30 A.M.: Me time until the boys wake up.

12:30 P.M.: Lunch time for all of us. (Nurse Levi before if he sleeps awhile or after if he only sleeps for an hour)
1:00-1:30 P.M.: Outside time again if the weather is nice. If it is not nice, we will have some play time where I give them my attention.
2:30 P.M.: Structured/Learning Activity with both the boys. Sometimes it will be reading books or doing puzzles, etc.
3:00 P.M.: TV Time (I’ll let Luke watch TV or I’ll put on nursery songs on Youtube) and catch up on some more cleaning or work on my blog if I absolutely have too.
3:30-4:00 P.M.: Snack time for Luke and Levi’s second nap time. I’ll nurse him then lay him down.
4:00 P.M.: This is my alone time with my oldest. I usually will do an activity with him or we will snuggle. Just depends on the mood he is in.
4:45 p.m.: Dad comes home. He will play with the boys usually while I make dinner. Or sometimes he will make dinner and let me go take a bath so I can get some rest if it’s been a more challenging day.
5:15-5:30 P.M.: Dinner time for all of us
6:00-6:30 P.M.: Bath Time
