[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work tomorrow, my kid was in bed by 8 and I have just gotten in bed. My car keys are on the counter right next to my wallet and phone which I always charge in the same place. I have packed my kids lunch and mine and they are both in the fridge ready to grab in the morning. My work clothes are literally laid out so I can get dressed in the almost dark while DW sleeps. DDs clothes are also laid out, with her shoes next to them so DW doesn't have to hunt for them when she leaves the house. This makes our mornings smooth and stress free. Anything that needs to go in the car in the morning goes next to the car keys the night before.    
I get paid every two weeks so that's when I pay my bills. So I'm only paying bills twice a month and not constantly trying to remember what's due. Do you have a calendar? If not you need one for appts etc. I even write down the days DD has show and tell so I don't forget. There's no shame in writing stuff down.[/quote]

This is great. How long does prepping all of this take each night?[/quote]

I am the same.  A lot of this is a bit of multitasking.  While I'm cleaning up dinner, I pop bread into the toaster for lunch so I'm not standing around waiting for it to ding.  Wash all fruit at the beginning of the week so all I need to do is bag it (some fruit gets mush after you cut so can't do that in advance).  Have both kids eat some of the same "sides" so you have economies of scale.

Kids clothes are all totally interchangable (tops / bottoms, doesn't matter what is worn with what).  I have a 2 and 6 YO.  6YO gets dressed himself- picks out his own clothes. 2 YO, I just grab any pair of leggings/pants and top.

I leave keys in the same place every day so I don't hunt for them.  I force myself to do this since I can't tell you how much time I've wasted looking for keys.

Agree with packing any stuff the night before- back up clothes, nap mat, library books for library day, take home folder, whatever.

Today, we were out of the house in 45 min - DH is traveling, so that's me, and 2 kids.  Up at 7:45 (overslept), dressed, fed and out the door by 8:30.[/quote]
