Mom vs. Morning: Winning the Battle of Getting Kids Ready for School : SMU74

In this episode, I am sharing how every morning is like a battle for all mothers like me to prepare their kids for school.  When the alarm goes off, and instantly, it's Mom vs. Morning. From the moment my feet hit the floor, I'm juggling so many tasks—waking up my daughter, negotiating breakfast choices, and racing against the clock. The struggle of getting my daughter ready for school sometimes feels like a whirlwind of chaos. No matter how much I plan the night before, it seems there’s always something that catches me off guard—a lost shoe, an unexpected meltdown, or even my exhaustion. 

There are days I question if I am winning this battle. But through all the madness, I have learned to find small victories. A five-minute head start, a pre-packed lunch, or even a moment of calm over breakfast makes the difference. I remind myself that every mom faces her version of this morning's madness, and while it may feel overwhelming, we’re stronger than we think. The key is accepting that it's okay if things don’t go perfectly every day. Each morning is a new chance to reset and try again.

So, if you are out there, racing through your morning like me—know that you are not alone. We are all in this together, fighting to win the battle of getting our kids ready for school, one messy morning at a time. I am sure you will love this episode and also would like to listen to all the experiences you are having while making your kids ready for school.
