If you take nothing else away from this post, remember this; things don’t have to be perfect! If your son goes off to school and his hair is not combed and he is wearing a shirt that doesn’t match his pants… so what? If your daughter has a frozen peanut butter and jelly sandwich with some fruit snacks and a granola bar for lunch, rather than the organic veggies and fresh pasta you wanted to make… so what? Some days will be perfect and you will look like a super mom as you make it out the door with each kid fed, bathed and ready to take on the world, while you arrive fifteen minutes early for your morning meeting with fresh coffee in hand. Other days, you’ll be lucky that your kid has on a coat and has scarfed down a Poptart in the car on the way to the carpool lane. At the end of the day, don’t stress and don’t expect perfection. Once you lower your expectations, you will find peace in your morning routine.
This is great information.
