You're doing it with 4 and one on the way! Wow! You're my inspiration. :)Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09191120517024861311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8567151127624112417.post-34424062027722087652011-10-11T21:20:09.728-05:002011-10-11T21:20:09.728-05:00It seems that the more kids a mama has, the less s...It seems that the more kids a mama has, the less stressed the day seems to go - I definitely got the "don't sweat the small stuff" vibe from reading your day! It definitely makes me tired, but also is a bit inspiring as well!

...Here are a few of my getting out the door tricks:<br /><br />1. I do better getting places that are right after breakfast or right after lunch. I have a captive audience while they are eating, so I can easily give everyone instructions about what needs to get done. Also, I can use the time while they are strapped in and occupied to gather last minute things- the downside of this is the kitchen doesn't get cleaned up before we leave. Also, if they don't finish their meal in the allotted time, they are done. Obviously that is not fair to a baby, however :)<br /><br />2. I prepare things ahead of time. In the morning, if I know Berean may need an extra outfit or an extra diaper, I grab it while I am upstairs and stick it in my purse. If we are going somewhere that day that requires socks, I grab 3 pairs from the drawer in the morning and put them in my purse or by the door.<br /><br />3. I simply don't allow myself to be late. If I don't give myself enough time to have everything I "need" (even though I often find I don't really "need" it), I go without. Maybe next time I will remember. <br /><br />4. I try to keep baby wipes and a hairbrush in the car. children in 5 point restraints are much easier to tidy up then when they are running around the house :)<br /><br />5. Basically though, I don't sweat the small stuff and we travel light.The Three 22ndshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17837614628832423777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8567151127624112417.post-80862150380165065822011-10-11T15:25:39.409-05:002011-10-11T15:25:39.409-05:00I agree with Elise - I'm so impressed at how y...I agree with Elise - I'm so impressed at how you get out the door. <br /><br />And I have some realllllly old laundry baskets that are cracked and pinch my hand.

It takes me two hours to get myself and the girls ready before we head out the door in the morning. Wish I could figure out how to streamline things a bit. Might help if it didn't take an hour for Lydia to eat breakfast. But still, your getting out the door skills are impressive.Elisehttp://www.bobbleheadbaby.comnoreply@blogger.com
