We asked y’all to send in tips to make mornings easy during the school year and we compiled them into a list! There are so many good ideas to help your mornings go smooth as possible.
Pack lunches and lay out clothes the night before. Saves A LOT of time!
We have a vertical 5-cubby hanging organizer in closet – choose outfits for the whole week on Sunday!
Healthy and quick breakfast options in the freezer.
I don’t know what I would do without our Skylight Calendar to keep us organized (so many people said the same!).
We have a hair “cart” – having all the products in one place is crucial!
Make a big batch of breakfast! Some favorites: egg or protein muffins, pancake/waffle batter, and yogurt parfaits.
We have a set routine – feet hit the floor, get dressed, brush teeth, shoes on, breakfast.
Carpool with other families!
All the evening prep. Outfits, lunches, filled water bottles and I set Alexa reminders for the AM.
Put everything in your calendar for each child with a particular color.
Give yourself an extra 10 minutes. More often than not, that buffer saves me!
Get a laminator (so the list is reusable) and make check lists for daily tasks – they can check them off as the go. I make one for each kid!
My boys sleep in their clothes for the next day lol
I prepare everything for myself the night before. Set coffee timer, pick outfit, purse ready to go, etc.
