    I have a bag for Avery when she goes to daycare. As soon as we get home and wash everything I put it right back into her bag so we do not forget it. It helps to keep everything in one place.

    I make sure that we keep to a schedule – bathtime, bedtime, etc. the same each night. Then everything becomes automatic and there are no surprises.

  21. Jennifer G. says:

    Keeping organized is not easy but I try by keeping the backpack and school supplies in the same exact spot always. I set out clothes the night before and make sure everything is packed and ready before hand so I’m not rushed at the last minute. Just try my best to keep everything in its place where it belongs.

  90. OK so I swore I did the mandatory entry days ago now I look and I don’t see it

    So here it is..since I can’t go back and see my tweets from Tues.

    The best tip I got is to use boxes as canvas for little drawers and lay your childs close out the night before along with making sure you have thier shoes ready at the door.

  91. Krissy says:

    Keep a hook inside the coat closet or on the wall in the bedroom so that there’s no morning scramble trying to find where it was left the night before.
