A New Morning Routine

Since Baba has gone to school I have got up with Baba always around 7.30am and we have had a good hour to get ready.

It has always worked and he has never been late to school, all be it a little rushed sometimes.

But always on time.

So when Boo started school as well in September we stuck to the same routine.

We were always on time.

But my god it was rushed.

It involved lots of shouting from me and a very stressed mummy taking the boys to school.

So I decided that it needed to be changed.

So last week I decided I needed to get up before the boys.

I started getting up at 6.30 instead of 7.30.

Not only have I managed to get all the school stuff ready and have generally been waiting for the boys to wake up in the morning, but I have also been getting the house ready.

So that when I get home from the school run I can get straight into working rather than doing an hour of tidying first.

It also means that we aren’t rushing in the morning and the boys are ready quicker.

Having at least 15 – 20 minutes spare to play a game or read a book before school.

It has made a massive difference to our mornings but has also made a difference to my sleeping as well as I am up earlier I am needing to go to sleep earlier as well which means I am actually getting a better night’s sleep, which is always a bonus.
