  • Lay out clothes the night before. Not just the kids clothes, but everyone’s clothes. Then there is no time wasted trying to figure out what to wear.
  • When it comes to breakfast, know what you are going to make beforehand.
  • If your kids are big cereal eaters you can set up breakfast the night before. Leave a bowl of cereal on the table covered in plastic wrap. Then place a cup of milk in the fridge on a shelf you kid can reach. Then they can serve themselves cereal and you won’t have to worry about a mess.
  • Take showers and baths the night before.
  • Have your kids homework checked and backpack packed and waiting by the door.
  • Pack lunches the night before.
  • Stick to a routine. This way you know everything that needs to get done are done.

A smooth and fun morning routine can give you a great start to your whole day!
