The morning routine (n.): The list of steps (sometimes posted all over the house) that families follow each morning in an attempt to get the kids to school before the classroom door shuts and you have to report to the front office with your head hung low.
We all have one. Or at least some vague sketch in our minds of how the morning needs to go to get out the door at the appointed minute.
Lay out the outfit the night before.
Pack as much of the lunch as possible at night.
Put the backpack by the door with a sticky note reminding you to grab the lunch.
Wake up and start fixing breakfast before the kids get up.
(Note to self: Stop hitting the snooze.)
Have the kids get dressed the minute they get out of bed.
Set timers to provide reminders.
Put the shoes and socks in bins by the front door…
It almost doesn’t matter how specific the routine because something always crops up…
Please stop by Mommy Moment to see how our morning routine stacks up.
