I think it is better if you have a checklist so you don't forget anything that your child needs. With a list of things you need to do first then it will be easier everyday and I guess supervision is a must too to avoid wasting time.

I like to do as much as I can the night before...set up the coffee maker, start packing lunches (except for sandwiches, I like to make those in the morning) and I also try to have enough of a variety of breakfast foods in the house so I don't have to hear "we don't have anything I like". Thanks for the review and giveaway!

I make sure the backpacks are already to go, with homework,books, papers signed. I get out clothes, and I even have planned what I am making for breakfast.

My best tip is to get as much ready the night before that you can. Lay out clothes, pack bags, pack lunches, even go as far as to lay out the diaper for the baby!! The more you do the night before, the less you will have to rush around in the morning.

Having everything ready to go helps me get out of the house faster. Clothes ready, lunches packed, bookbags in car.

My best tip is to stock up on breakfast food and get as much ready the night before as possible.

We have a routine posted on everyones door to remind them of what we should do everymorning and every evening!

I don't make any dentist or doctor apps before noon so that there is no need to rush around getting ready to go, and we can just relax.

I always like to make a batch of pancake batter over the weekend and use it throughout the next week. I've never had it go bad before the end of the week, and it is much tastier than re-heating already made pancakes.

setup as much as possible the night before mverno@roadrunenr.com

prepare the night before laying everything out- even dishes for breakfast mrs.mommyyatgmail

I prep my food into its bowl the night before

My single best tip is to wake up BEFORE the kids. I can't always pull that one off though.

Have all of the clothes, and book bags ready the night before. This really helps.

I prepare everything the night before

Get everything ready the night before. You always have more time the night before. I am queenesperfect at yahoo.com

I get as much as I can ready the night before. In the morning, I'm too sleepy to get anything done!

I set out my wife's pills and a teabag for her in the morning to make it easier for her.

I prepare as much as possible the night before. I have my daughter's cloth already ironed. She does not like to eat much in the mornings so it's usually toast, fruit, or pop tarts.

Take the morning as it comes no sense making yourself crazy rushing about, and have your days plans- shopping, appointments, meetings, events written down the day before and in order of happening so you can see it clearly what you have to do and when for the next day should make things go much smooothly and easily

Mine is a buy a 5 slot shoe hanger and use it to put a complete outfit (Including any jewelry and shoes) in each slot. Sunday night pick out all 5 outfits and BAM your set!!
Thanks for the chance.

getting everything ready the night before is my advice.

I make a menu for the week so I only make one trip to the grocery store, I get clothes set out for the morning and make lunches the night before.

keep a list of your daily "to dos" for the morning in a handy location (smart phone, taped to your door, etc.). the night before, go over the list, place things near the door related to errands, etc., add specific to dos for that day, and also get things ready. i like to keep a tote bag with all of the miscellaneous things that i need for the day. in the morning i grab it and go.

We just have a routine. Up early, shower, get dressed, eat breakfast. I pack their lunches while they eat breakfast and then out the door. We've been doing it for so long that it just feels natural.
Thanks for the giveaway.

get some things ready the night before

My trick is to make the bottles before I let my twins see me in the morning because if I show up empty handed to get them out of their cribs in the morning it makes them mad!

We plan everything out the night before, even what we are having for breakfast.

I prepare as much as I can the night before. In the morning, it is best to follow the same routine every day so that nothing is missed.

My best tip is to prepare as much as possible the night before. I get the coffee pot ready so I have to just turn it on, clothes are laid out ironed etc.. before papers, purse by the door.

My best tip to streamline one's morning routine would be to try to get everything laid out the night before and wake up extra early. Thanks for the contest! codisweepstakes2 (@) gmail(dot)com

My best tip is to leave everything you need for the next day in one place so you can grab it all and go rather than looking all over the house for purse, keys, laptop bag,etc.

I pack non perishable items in my girls lunch box and backpacks the night before. We pick out clothing in the evening and shower,too. It makes for an easier morning!!!

I find that if I have a lot of breakfast options, things wind up easier. The kids always want something different!

By getting things ready the evening before, my mornings run pretty smooth. Lunches are prepared in the frig, clothes laid out and stuff for breakfast ready to go. That way, sleepy people can get what they need without thinking too much - lol

i pack the diaper bag with everything i'll need the night before and leave it by the door so it's one less thing to worry about

My best tip for streamlining my morning routine is to have lunches for work packed the night before.

Hello, I streamline my morning routine by having coffee loaded and on a timer, so I wake up to the smell of freshly brewed coffee and that gets me going in the morning. Thanks for a great giveaway!

I get ready the night before. I have my tote bag packed,clothes laid out,my vitamins and/or any medication in a pill box, everything all ready to GO!

I have created a velcro picture schedule for my kids. Each task they must do each morning (eat breakfast, get dressed, brush teeth, etc) has a separate picture that they move into a pocket once they have completed it. This ensures that everything gets done and helps them become more independent.

like many others I get everything I can done the night before!

Try n prepare as much as possible the night before!

I find that keeping the kids on a schedule helps me streamline our morning.

quick breakfast

Practice! And create a schedule..

Early prep the night before of anything that can be ALWAYS seems to help us.

I make my lunch the night before so I'm not rushing to make it in the morning.

Our elementary counselor recommended our kids have a "drop spot" where they deposit their school things when they come home and where they put items to take back to school. It's helped us. Thanks so much! pamelashockley(AT)aol(DOT)com

Choose your clothing the night before!

I make sure I know what's around for breakfast and have the kids help me get out the juices and silverware.

My single best tip is to plan everything and lay things out the night before. If I think about what I need to do the next morning before I sleep, I tend to remember what I want to get accomplihsed the next morning. vidomich(at)yahoo(dot)com
