It's that time again! Back to School at our house means crazy mornings. Getting all five children out the door on a school morning, without losing my mind or raising my voice, is always a challenge.
One way we simplified the morning rush was to create a lunch packing station. Our family has a bin for sweets, one for fruit and another for chips/carbs. The children quickly learned that the equation for a happy lunch is:
The children love getting to choose their side items and I love that I can purchase what goes in each bin therefore ensuring a healthy lunch.
Another time saver .... Take some time each week after grocery shopping to divide items into individual portions or purchase individually wrapped items. This ensures that young children can just grab an item and go!
