[quote=Anonymous]Couple of ideas that might be helpful: It sounds like your kids might get out of school on the late side. (Mine don't get home until 4:30 PM - makes everything feel rushed.) I've started cooking our dinners on Sunday and putting them in individual portion containers. That way the kids get to pick what they want to eat and we just heat it up. (I also make enough for my lunch). Create a routine for the evening and post it up in a central location. We have a different routine for each day (varies due to evening activities) but it helps to make sure homework gets done, instrument practice happens, and we don't forget about Ice Cream Tuesday. For the 1/2 hour - I'd likely throw some laundry in or tidy up and then take the rest of the time to just enjoy the quiet. It helps to center yourself to take on the rest of the evening. [/quote]
