The Morning Mama: Setting the Tone for a Seamless School Day

In Texas, August 1st means school is just around the corner.  If you are lucky enough to start school after labor day,(you know, how the world is supposed to be) hang with me. Because the start of school is coming up quickly. 

One universal truth is that EVERY SINGLE PERSON loves to be prepared for school. That is why school supply shopping is so fun, right? Today I want to help you get prepared so that you can enter your school year feeling confident.

While freshly sharpened pencils, a new planner, and a new box of crayons can literally make anyone's day, a home with no systems in place can quickly destroy it, for everyone. Racing around on a school morning looking for the lost shoe or the paper your child promises they printed out the night before can leave us feeling short-tempered and frustrated, leaving our people feeling anything but prepared for school that day. 

Can I ask a question? It’s not rhetorical. I would love to hear back from you on this, Mama.

What kind of mama do you want to be in the morning when you are getting your kids ready for school either at home or off to school? 

You might have heard me mention before James Clears’ idea of habits that we put in place is casting a vote for the person you want to become. These habits are put in place by systems. So as you think about the Mama you want to be before school think about what factors would need to be in place for you to make that happen. then our goal will be to set up systems to create the “habit casting votes”. 

I want to equip you today to start thinking through your morning routine, I'm including a back-to-school Morning routine guide. This will help you put the structure in place for smooth mornings. I want to give this to you in plenty of time to start planning for this next semester and possibly even time to practice before school starts. 

For my homeschool mamas, I want to give you access to Mama's System’s homeschool course at a special discounted rate. This course is chocked full of systems that will help you create a plan to get to all the important things during your homeschool day and still fully run your home. 

Here is what Christina said about the course, “This is such an awesome blessing and I want others to have it. Even though I have been homeschooling for 8.5 years, I was really inspired and encouraged. I get so overwhelmed with all the resources and curriculum that people try to help with, but you presented a relaxed and intentional way to homeschool, which is the change I really need."

So whether you are homeschooling, public schooling or something in between, you can have a great school year as a mama! I am for you and want to support you a million percent. Let me know how I can support you, odds are we have a system for it!
