Welcome to Homestyle, a podcast from The Daily Advertiser that’s all about life, family and the stories they inspire. Two best friends — Leigh Guidry and Joe Cunningham — host, sharing their hobbies and ideas for family fun. 

It's week two of state mandates to close schools and work from home due to COVID-19, and between our two families we have three teachers and four kids. So this week we talk about the importance of finding and keeping a schedule for school and family activities.

In this episode you'll hear:

--Joe pull from his teaching experience to explain why it's best to keep a schedule and routine while staying home for an extended time;

--a few ideas for schedules, where to find more and how to tweak them to make it work for your family;

--some activities to incorporate;

--and advice to stay flexible.
