Some mornings, the struggle is real…
It’s hard transitioning into that back to school morning routine. No one wants to get out of bed. And no one wants to get moving in the morning.
But it doesn’t have to be stressful and it doesn’t have to be all on you. Start delegating to your kids which will make them more independent and you can start having more fun and make the back to school mornings easy.
HERE ARE 3 EASY WAYS MAKE BACK TO SCHOOL MORNINGS EASY AND FUN.
1. START YOUR MORNING WITH CHEERIOS™ OAT CRUNCH OATS ‘N HONEY
This delicious NEW Cheerios™ Oat Crunch Oats ‘N Honey flavor is an easy breakfast option for my kids in the morning.
The Cheerios™ you grew up with and love has a new flavor with whole grain oats and real honey all rolled into one. Cheerios™ Oat Crunch Oats ‘N Honey is a hearty and simply delicious breakfast for you and your kids. PLUS, it’s available at Walmart.
I can have the bowls, spoons, milk, and New NEW Cheerios™ Oat Crunch Oats ‘N Honey waiting for them while I finishing getting ready for the day.
It’s also great for an on-the-go breakfast when you or your kids have overslept. Keep a few snack bags of this delicious cereal in your purse as well.
2. Play Fun Music
Create a morning playlist of some of your families get-up and go songs. Depending on what mood the day holds, sometimes I play classical music on those days they have a test. This creates a more calming morning.
Other times, I have a playlist with a morning jam that gets everyone up and moving. The right music can set the mood for the day and the morning routine.
3. Taking a Morning Selfie
With my daughter getting her new smartphone, it’s all about taking selfies now. What better way to create some fun in the morning taking silly pics of all of us together.
Those grumpy faces turn into smiling faces making back to school a little easier. And something to look at during the day if you need a pick me up.
No more stressful mornings. No more nagging. Make your back to school mornings easy and fun!
I love these ideas. We all fall into morning ruts, especially during busy times of the year. I think doing simple things like this is a great way to inject some fun back into our relationships with our kids.
This will come in handy after spring break. Our son often gets cranky when he’s out of school for a short period of time. We love Cheerios. Will need to check this flavor out.
Hehe….music always gets me going! It is a good partner to school-going human beings.
I can’t wait to try this flavor! I love all Cheeerios but this one is exactly the type I would go for.
The oatmeal would be tasty, the music would help calm up the atmosphere and the selfie would add fun every morning. Three real great ways to pep up the mornings.
