5 tips to controlling the morning chaos.

1) Select kid’s outfits at night. Be sure to check weather in advance and plan accordingly. 

2) Pack lunches ahead of time. After dinner, pack the non-refrigerated items in the lunchbox and leave it on the counter for quick packing of the chilled things in the morning. 

3) Shower or take baths the night before. 

4) Make breakfast easy by cooking oatmeal overnight in a slow cooker so it’s ready to just dish out in the morning. 

5) Place jackets and backpacks in a central location by the door. Use a hanging shoe organizer with pockets or individual bins to hold items needed that day so they are easy to grab on the way out the door.
