Both of my girls are active, very active. They love sports and last year, they were doing an organised physical activity 5 days of the 7 - hockey, gymnastics, dance, tennis and swimming.
This year, we've toned it down a little, concentrating on the more 'important' (to us) activities.
One team sport, which requires 2 days committment (training/game), a fun individual sport (gymnastics) requiring 1 day training and the occasional fun non-competitive carnival and swimming (our non negotiable), once per week. I think this year we've struck a better balance, but we both work full time and I am planning on getting back into my study next semester. Add an half hour drive to/from school each day, birthday parties, school activities .. we still seem to be struggling with fitting in homework and play.
So when do you find the time? Are you super organised? Do you outsource?

We've not yet started on concreting a driveway, or under the house let alone battening it, nor have we erected a shed. We haven't had time to do the fence, or start on the vegetable patch/orchard. Heck, we're not even fully unpacked and sorted! Problem with having a Dear Husband that's handy about the home, is that he wants to do the.lot!
Yesterday, I spent the full day cleaning! *ugh*

And, in an attempt to protect the shower glass from water pitting or soap scum, I pre-cleaned, cleaned-again, applied, cured and polished all the bathroom glass. *exhausted*

But I'm happy with the final result (not the best photo I admit!) - to watch the water bead and not stick to the glass was well worth it! Hopefully it means that I can cut back on the hours of cleaning to regain some quality family time!
Have a lovely week ;-)
