Back-to-school season is iconically a time of fresh starts — new pencils, new notebooks, new shoes. But what about routines? Today, Alexandra Frost shares three big things she’s doing differently this year, in hopes of a smoother start to every day. She admits: “In my house in the past, mornings have been a series of stressed-out exclamations, while I try to navigate hectic (more like disastrous) mornings with four sons under age 7: Wake up! Come downstairs! Eat breakfast! Hurry up! Why do you have no underwear on! Stop tackling your brother while he’s eating!”
Check out her plan for a fresh start — and see if you want to lift any ideas for your own home.
