Usually I have written out a daily schedule for each girl, for a month at a time, based on where we need to be by the end of the month. But as always happens, some things you get ahead in and some things you get behind. This month I'm planning more by the week, and we'll see how that goes.
The notes are deliberately rough--they're at the kind of "maybe" stage that such plans usually take on before you get really doing them.
