How I Got My 4 & 5 Year Olds to Get Themselves Ready in the Mornings

September 17 by Steph (MPMK Founder)

The secrets to getting my 4 and 5 year olds to get up and get themselves dressed, fed and ready to go to school each morning.

In honor of the fact that we’re giving away a cordless Dyson MC59 Motorhead vacuum cleaner worth $549, I thought I’d share two more ways for you and the family to get more organized this week.

First, up check out my post over on eHow Mom’s Channel on how I get my 4 and 5 year old to dress, feed, and otherwise prepare themselves for school in the morning (it had to be done – otherwise this “mom of 3 kids ages 5 months to 5 years” think would have surely been the end of me!).

Second, I’m hosting a second giveaway in honor of the first! (Is that weird?)

Since the Dyson MC59 Motorhead will keep your home clean, I’ve decided to help one lucky reader get organized too by giving away ALL of our printables and eBooks!

This includes:

  • Project Organize Your ENTIRE Life: The Quick Start Guide (eBook)
  • Project Organize Your ENTIRE Life Printables Pack
  • Hands-On Holidays (eBook)
  • Kids’ Responsibility & Money Management Printables Pack

Simply use the rafflecopter below to enter – good luck and happy organizing!!
