Meet the morning list. Your sanity saving free downloadable
ISO might have calmed us all the hell down, but in our house - the usual pressure cooker has already kicked in - where tensions go from simmering to boiling somewhere between the hours of 8am and 8.30am....
You know the situation:
Kids: wake up, shuffle half awake into the living area…
You: making breakfast, chopping vegetables for crunch and sip, trying to cobble together some vaguely nutritious lunch.
You: “Can you get dressed please?”
Kids: rolling around on the couch, the floor…
You: answering group WhatsApp text from other parents in the class asking about homework…
Kids: Upside down on the couch, pj’s half on, trying to see what their toes look like from this angle...
Then before you know it, it’s 8.10am…and child one is wearing one sock and a top...
You: “Are you STILL NOT DRESSED YET?”
And then the same thing...with teeth brushing, bag packing, hair brushing, getting shoes on, until you’ve repeated those sentences more times than a flight attendant has given an emergency briefing. You’re stressed, tired, horse from shouting...as your volume has increased with every minute that has ticked away - until you all eject from the house frantic, screeching and stressed. This is not the new normal we had in mind.
So here it is: The Morning List. Born out of sheer frustration, with the intention of bringing a sense of order, calm, and self-motivated achievement to the morning. The new normal we fantasise about. Download one for every child in your house. Stick it somewhere they can see, reach and tick off as they go. And maybe even offer a small reward at the end of each successful week. Whatever gets them self-starting their morning routine.
We like systems - we designed our recycled totes and crossbody bags to make sure you’re never without a bag when you leave the house. Here’s hoping the morning list will mean you’re never without your sanity too. xx
