Summer Week Time Log for a Family of 7

Curious about what a summer week time log for a family of 7 looks like where we homeschool year-round. Mom stays at home with the kids. Dad works Full time. There are 5 kids ages 7 and under, and Mom is pregnant with baby #6. I was hoping to give you a glimpse of a “normal” week for us but that went out the window really quick. A few weeks ago, we moved to the wonderful state of Georgia where I am from. Currently we are staying with my parents until we find a place to live. During this week I recorded we were busier than normal! My youngest brother and sister-in-law came in town to visit. We had a Midwife appointment and needed to get our Driver’s Licenses and Car Tags changed over. Keep reading to see what our family’s summer week time log ended up looking like.
