I am not a morning person and I have two kids who are just like me! Thankfully I have one who is happy to get up and get moving…which helps a little! But with three girls (who all need their hair done) and lunches to be made, folders to be signed, and schedules to consider, most mornings are rushed and frustrating! Well that was until I set up the following morning routine that has helped EVERYONE!

Our NEW routine looks like this!

6:50: Wake up and get dressed, wake the girls.
7:00: I start making breakfast as the girls are coming downstairs. (This is COFFEE time for me!)
7:15: Finish up breakfast while I do their hair.
7:20: Put on shoes, jackets, and backpacks
7:30: Out the door walking to school.

Sounds pretty simple, right? It wasn’t always that way…I used to make lunches, sign folders, and search for shoes EVERY morning! There were tears, stress, and I often didn’t have a second to catch my breath.

Here are my 5 Tips for a less stressful school day morning:

1.) Do as much as you can the night before! (Lay out clothes, socks, hair bows, and shoes!) Prepare lunches and refrigerate, sign folders and put back into backpacks.

2.) Have my McCafé Coffee Pod in the Keruig with clean mug ready to go!

3.) Talk about who has to be where the day before…so you know what time you need to leave.

4.) Spill as much love and well wishes on your kids as you can. They start their day off so much better when they feel loved.

5.) Keep my McCafé coffee in hand and sip away until it’s gone! (Seriously, it’s comforting and soothing! (Wakes me up quickly and is very satisfying!)

I used to loath mornings, now I embrace them with joy! The fresh start, the warm soothing McCafé coffee waiting for me! By the time I walk the girls to school (a 5 minute walk) and walk home, I am on my last sips of my coffee. I feel refreshed, renewed, and ready to get busy with my day!

You can now find McCafé coffee at Walmart! It is made with premium, 100% Arabica Beans and is harvested from the rich soils and mountainous regions of the foremost coffee-growing areas of the world! Choose from 8 flavors and you can choose premium bags or coffee pods! (I personally like the Premium medium roast pods best!)

I first tried the McCafé coffee at a demo at Walmart! They were sampling several different flavors and I fell in love!

Once on the isle, I found several flavor options and even a $1/1 peelie coupon on the coffee! YEA!
