As the school year gets into full swing, it can be hard to adjust to the new routine–especially those crazy mornings. It can be maddening at times, but it doesn’t have to be if we strive to stay ahead of the game and simplify things. Here’s 6 simple ways to make the back-to-school mornings a bit smoother:

Keep a LARGE family calendar in a visible place in your home.

This has helped our family so much in recent years. Assign each person of the family a specific marker color and fill in their appointments/games/etc. in their assigned color. That way, it’s easier to keep track of who has what on certain days of the week.

This summer, I purchased the calendar in the picture from Target in the “Dollar Spot” section. It is laminated, so it can be erased and reused for each month. If you don’t want to do something like this, you can even arrange post-it notes into a calendar with one post-it for each day of the month. It doesn’t have to cost a lot. Be creative and find a family calendar process that works for you. You’ll be glad you did!
