Banish morning madness
Advertiser Staff
One easy first step you can take to simplify your life with kids is to create an unhurried morning routine, said Elaine St. James, author of "Simplify Your Life With Kids."
Some ways to alleviate morning madness:
• Set reasonable bedtimes for yourself and your kids so no one's tired and cranky in the morning.
• Teach your kids to set out their clothes the night before.
• Kids who take their lunch to school can make it the night before and put it in the refrigerator.
• Designate a convenient place where the kids can leave their schoolbags when they've finished their homework.
