I need to add that to m checklist I guess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-morning-checklist-of-things-you-do-before-heading-out-the-door-in-the-morning#post-1097869 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 13:04:57 +0000 Boheme 1097869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our checklist the night before is bigger!<br /> *Wash bottles<br /> *Make BM bottles for the next day<br /> *Pack diaper bag<br /> *Wash cloth diapers<br /> *Pack lunches<br /> *Pack pump &amp; clean bottles in the car, pack diaper bag in the Jeep<br /> *Lay out clothes<br /> *Set coffeemaker auto-start </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-morning-checklist-of-things-you-do-before-heading-out-the-door-in-the-morning#post-1097819 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 12:56:16 +0000 mrbee 1097819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: Wow your husband is all over the mornings! Impressed by your joint military precision!!</p> <p>I gotta get better at laying out clothes for the week... that's a minute or two I lose each morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-morning-checklist-of-things-you-do-before-heading-out-the-door-in-the-morning#post-1097715 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 12:34:56 +0000 looch 1097715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: lol! That's hilarious, because I was thinking, I would have no time to deal with a girl's hair!</p> <p>My husband does it, with my son. He's got his spot in the hall bath and I usually leave it all set up...it's the set up and break down of the stool that causes us the most delays, so I leave it in place. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-morning-checklist-of-things-you-do-before-heading-out-the-door-in-the-morning#post-1097709 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 12:33:28 +0000 mrbee 1097709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: Ah thanks!!</p> <p>Re: brushing, oops didn't mean hair... nobody's hair gets brushed in the mornings over here!! I meant more around brushing teeth... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-morning-checklist-of-things-you-do-before-heading-out-the-door-in-the-morning#post-1097685 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 12:30:17 +0000 looch 1097685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I put all the clothes out the Sunday before for the week. I know what all three of us are wearing on any given day. That helps a ton. There's not a lot of discussion yet, so I imagine at some point, this is going to get more difficult wrt my son.</p> <p>I can't comment on doing hair, my son's got a wash and wear hair style, sometimes i put a little water on it if there are some spots that are extra crazy, but I do keep it short for this reason.</p> <p>As for feeding, my husband and I handle this with military precision. He now gets up earlier and showers and dresses. He gets our son up and gives him breakfast while I get dressed. Then we're out the door. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-morning-checklist-of-things-you-do-before-heading-out-the-door-in-the-morning#post-1097615 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 12:19:21 +0000 LuLu Mom 1097615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mental Checklist:</p> <p>Get Ready<br /> Dress DD &amp; give medicine (DH has already changed and fed her)<br /> Grab pre-breakfast snack (cherrios)/cup for daycare<br /> Pack Lunch (me)<br /> Grab purse/cell phone/lunch/baby/diaper bag and head out the door to do daycare drop off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-morning-checklist-of-things-you-do-before-heading-out-the-door-in-the-morning#post-1097469 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 11:52:53 +0000 Rubies 1097469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just a mental checklist that consists of: feed DD, dress DD, get everyone out the door. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-morning-checklist-of-things-you-do-before-heading-out-the-door-in-the-morning#post-1097455 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 11:51:30 +0000 banana 1097455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we have a mental checklist. We also run things by each other to make sure we didn't forget. My DH will ask me if I put sunscreen on my son and I'll ask DH if he packed my daughter's blanket in her bag. I actually have it all written down too but I forget to look at the paper! I should put a post it up to go look at the checklist! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-morning-checklist-of-things-you-do-before-heading-out-the-door-in-the-morning#post-1097226 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 10:56:30 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1097226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: hahaha! I would hope you've never left the house without pants on. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-morning-checklist-of-things-you-do-before-heading-out-the-door-in-the-morning#post-1097219 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 10:55:33 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1097219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! It's a mental checklist but I also have a visual I created to help Noelle with sequencing, but she doesn't need it anymore! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-morning-checklist-of-things-you-do-before-heading-out-the-door-in-the-morning#post-1097156 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 10:44:15 +0000 anonysquire 1097156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's easy with no kids. Make sure I'm wearing pants and go. Lock the door if I feel like it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-morning-checklist-of-things-you-do-before-heading-out-the-door-in-the-morning#post-1097153 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 10:43:04 +0000 Adira 1097153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's a mental checklist, but it goes like this:</p> <p>Shower<br /> Brush Teeth<br /> Hair/Make-up<br /> Change Xander's Diaper<br /> Nurse Xander<br /> Pump!<br /> Wash pump parts, pack pump parts &amp; bottles<br /> Get dressed!</p> <p>And that's just me! Hubs handles daycare drop-offs, so I'm sure he has his own little checklist too to get himself and Xander ready for the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-morning-checklist-of-things-you-do-before-heading-out-the-door-in-the-morning#post-1097142 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 10:39:31 +0000 mrbee 1097142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: Impressive!!</p> <p>How do you guys handle feeding, dressing and brushing... that stuff takes the most time for us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-morning-checklist-of-things-you-do-before-heading-out-the-door-in-the-morning#post-1097136 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 10:37:40 +0000 mrskc 1097136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a little hand written not on the fridge with a list of things I need to take to work everyday. Don't want to forget my pump or bottles! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-morning-checklist-of-things-you-do-before-heading-out-the-door-in-the-morning#post-1097128 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 10:35:39 +0000 looch 1097128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, because I do everything the night before, including stuff like loading the car or putting crap in my bag! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-morning-checklist-of-things-you-do-before-heading-out-the-door-in-the-morning#post-1097096 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 10:25:24 +0000 chopsuey 1097096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Great idea! I'm gonna probably need one when the kids are in school! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-morning-checklist-of-things-you-do-before-heading-out-the-door-in-the-morning#post-1096927 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 09:48:02 +0000 mrbee 1096927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've never formalized this, but Bee and I kind of have a mental checklist that we work off of every morning:</p> <p>* Pack lunch (Bee makes lunch the night before now that Charlie started pre-K)<br /> * Make breakfast, feed kids... pack leftovers for kids to eat when they get to school.<br /> * Brush teeth<br /> * Dress the kids, put their shoes on<br /> * Put sunscreen on</p> <p>I've been thinking about printing the checklist out and putting it on the door, to make sure we don't forget anything! I always feel like I'm forgetting something in the mornings...</p> <p>Do you have a "morning checklist" of things you do before heading out the door in the morning? </p>
