*I received a package from Straw Propeller Gourmet Foods in exchange for sharing my thoughts with you. All opinions are my own.*<\/em><\/p>\n

Yesterday was our first day back to school- which prompted me to make a big breakfast. But, most days that\u2019s totally not the case. I am not a morning person. I never have been. I\u2019ve tried to be, but it\u2019s probably never gonna happen. As a homeschool parent, I do have to be ready each and every morning- and yes, my family has to eat breakfast every.single.day.<\/strong> I\u2019ve learned a few tips and tricks over the years to help set up my day for success- even when all I really want to do is hit the snooze button. So, today I\u2019m sharing my morning hacks for back to school with you.<\/p>\n

Prep as much as you can ahead of time.<\/h5>\n

That means get yourself a coffee pot that has a clock that you can set for morning. I prep our morning coffee the night before, when I\u2019m cleaning up the kitchen after dinner. I\u2019ve made it part of my nightly routine so I don\u2019t forget. And waking up to freshly brewed coffee is much nicer than trying to make a pot before my brain has awakened for the day. My Hubby also really appreciates this.<\/strong> Go ahead and lay out your clothes (and the kiddos if they need help) the night before as well. That way you don\u2019t even have to think about it in the morning. Just grab your clothes, throw them on, and get that coffee in your hand<\/em>.<\/p>\n

This is also why I prefer to shower before bed. Because I am usually the one that runs out of time to shower, (and that is also why dry shampoo is my best friend).<\/p>\n

Make breakfast easy on yourself.<\/h5>\n

Like I said before- yes, everyone needs breakfast. Every day of the week. But, I am never awake enough to want to make anything. That\u2019s why I usually go for convenience foods in the morning. Which isn\u2019t always the healthiest option.<\/p>\n

So, to make breakfast time healthier for my family-\u00a0 I do these things:<\/p>\n
