Twas the Night Before...

Christmas isn't the only thing that starts "the night before". 
All GOOD things start the night before because everything good comes only with a little planning.  This includes the start of a WONDERFUL day!

What can your family do the night before to help the morning go SMOOTHLY?

Kids:
  • Outfits layed out (including socks, shoes, belts...)
  • Backpacks Ready and in "launch pad"
  • Lunches Made
  • In Bed Early
You: (with help from the family of course)
  • Dishwasher Started 
  • Laundry Load ready to start in the morning.
  • Main Areas of the house "quick tidied" 
  • List of To-Do's Made
  • In Bed Early

Trading in a bit of my nightly TV time for getting a few things done will be WORTH IT!

Happy New Year Joy! I just got a new dishwasher and I'm looking forward to getting back on schedule after Christmas. I don't think I have ever washed so many dishes by hand before!

I need to make better habits for the mornings (and night before) too. It's amazing how much smoother things go when so much is already taken care of. I also need to insist that the tv stays off until the kids are completely ready- and off 10 minutes before we need to leave... hopefully everyone's morning moods will improve with these tactics! :)
