Baking Day in the Rhythm of our Week

One way we create order in the days of our week is by creating a rhythm of work.  We call it our morning work.  Each day is given its own work to be done.  Monday is baking day.  Tuesday is Classical Conversations community day.  Wednesday is soup making day.  Thursday is washing day.  Friday is ironing day.  Saturday is cleaning day.  Sunday is church day, our day of rest.  Having this sort of order or rhythm to our work  and in our week creates a simplicity and a reliability that helps us move from day to day in a smooth and easy sort of way.  It helps us feel comfort and joy in the simple.  We all know what to expect each day and we look forward to it.  It helps us to celebrate the caring and keeping of our home.  It teaches my children the importance of the home and the importance of helping in the home as well.  So, if you are in need of a little more order to your weeks, maybe you could try adding in a morning work rhythm.  I love it too, because it is sort of old-fashioned.  Remember the days of work in Little House in the Big Woods by Laura Ingalls Wilder?

"Wash on Monday,
Iron on Tuesday,
Mend on Wednesday,
Churn on Thursday,
Clean on Friday,
Bake on Saturday,
Rest on Sunday."

And if you know me, you know I love all things old-fashioned!
