Make lunches the night before

groceries food meals — Meal planning is a pretty delicious endeavour

Meal prep the whole week on Sunday

Try planning out your dinners and lunches a full week ahead. Write up a one-week meal list, do your grocery shopping online, and have it delivered to your home. It will last you the whole week and save you from all those last-minute grocery store runs that take up too much time. No more standing in front of the fridge trying to figure out what you’re going to make tonight. This one’s a no brainer.

Create a morning routine

Getting the young kids out the door can feel like pulling teeth some mornings. Sometimes they (don’t we all?) just need a little motivation. The answer is these helpful morning routine charts you can find at places like Easy Daysies. The charts help encourage independence with tasks like getting dressed, making the bed, and brushing teeth, while making sure everybody gets out the door on time. Smoother mornings? Yes, please.
