There is no shortage of strategies for how to schedule your days, how to teach your children (the "right" way of course) and how to accomplish ever more. These tend to be followed by strategies for combatting the inevitable burnout that results from impossible or imprudent endeavors.
I found this 'sketch from life' a most beautiful, peaceful day to emulate, a simple ideal to strive for.
"Here sketched from life is Therese's day. Immediately she awoke, she made the morning offering, dressed promptly, and ran to M. Martin's arms.
As soon as breakfast was over the room became her schoolroom. Her lessons were permeated with the supernatural, from the alphabet illustrated with sacred pictures – the word HEAVEN was the first word the child learned to spell out – up to the connected reading preferably from the gospels and the French dictation and composition, varied by exercises of which the themes were family life and the glories of the Faith."
There you have it. The original Eat, Pray, Love plan. : )
Starry Sky Journal 
Oh, this is so lovely! I have to read that book.
And I love your Holy Family on the wall! So beautiful and peaceful. I do love to buy those old ornate frames with the plaster on wood but I don’t have any with religious pictures. Such a lovely combination.
Lovely! Thanks for sharing!
that is just about perfect, isn’t it?
Perfect…so glad to hear her parents were not worrying about making thins “too catholic” 😀
