Back To School

OK for many of us back to school is expensive and busy. I have children coming and going at my house and the kids just throw their coats, shoes, backpacks in the main entrance. I have a friend who's an owner of Wave Interiors and she recommended I put 12 hooks in my closet at waist high so the kids can hang their jackets themselves - it works. And I also put a mat on the closet floor for wet shoes. Now when the kids come home I can close the closet door and only see the back packs all lined up neatly (I do that). I put away the off season shoes and jackets. I also made my life easier by removing the TV from my main level - so much quieter and the children can focus on meal times and homework. Here are 5 tips to make your morning less hectic.
1. The night before pack their back packs - sneakers, homework, money orders...
2. Also lay out all the clothes for the next day.
3. Do one load of laundry and put the dishwasher on.
4. Know what recess is going to be and or lunch and dinner.
5. Have the breakfast plates out with oatmeal/cereal... ready to go.

Follow these tips and I promise every ones morning will be a good one! Till next time - keep it clean. T
