Welcome to Episode 1 of “Welcome Home Wednesday!”
Whether your preschool or elementary aged child needs quiet or connection after school, this series is for you!

Knowing your child’s preferences is key for almost every parenting situation, but it is especially crucial when reconnecting after work or school.

Some kids NEED decompression time after working hard in school all day.

Others want to tell you everything they experienced, felt and thought throughout the whole day.

Some fall somewhere in between.

You need different strategies for all. That’s exactly what you’ll get when you tune in for my series “Welcome Home Wednesday.” Make sure you’re following me so you don’t miss an episode!

Welcome to episode 1 of Morning Connection Monday!
We all know a smooth morning really starts the night before. In this first episode, I share 6 things to prep the night before so your morning (hopefully!) runs like clockwork! They are:
1. Sign all forms that need to go back to school the next day.
2. Backpack is packed and by the door.
3. Clothes are chosen and laid out (right down to underwear and socks)
4. Set the table for breakfast and give menu items to easy, low prep options.
5. Lunches are packed as much as they can be (no one likes a soggy sandwich!)
6. You’ve chosen your family connection strategy for the next day. (If you’re not quite sure what I mean by that, we’ll talk more about them in future episodes so be sure you are following me so you never miss an episode!)

Be sure to share this a mom friend who wants to streamline her morning too and come back next Monday for Episode 2!

If you have a child that is preschool or elementary school aged, this is for you. Building strong family bonds now will help you as you move into the teen and young adult years.
Introducing the family connection series. We’ll have one for each of the three most important connection periods of the day:
1) First thing in the morning (Morning Connection Mondays)
2) Reconnecting after school (Welcome Home Wednesdays)
3) Before bedtime (Friday Night Fuzzies)
Be sure you are following me and look for those episodes on their designated days!
