Day 2: Organizing Kids for Church

I have to admit, my husband does most of this. He's amazing. He gets up with the kids every morning and gets them ready. I'm up in time to speed things up and do hair for my girls.

The thing that I've always gotten wrong is I don't set things out the night before. I know in my head that it would make things run smoother, but I just don't do it. I love it that my girls make decisions about their clothes and we work together to build the outfit. I could do that the night before, but I know that I'm always in a hurry to get them to bed, so it's difficult to focus on the next day in the midst of that.

Still, it's just an excuse.

I'm working on it. My plan (I have a lot of plans) is to begin putting their clothes together in complete outfits when I'm folding and putting away clothes. Then I want to get the Handbag file from Clever Container and put the outfits in the sleeves there. That way the girls have complete outfits ready that they can see and they don't have to go searching around for the stuff to make an outfit. Having putting it away like that makes me use less time because I will be eliminating the step of doing it every day.

That's the plan. Stay tuned to see if it works. I'm going to get at least one of those handbag files this month to test it out...I just have to afford it first.
