I did it, guys!! Survived the first week of school! I was so worried because the last two weeks have been crazy busy with work. I usually like to get my son back on his bedtime schedule at least two weeks before school starts, but I slacked – a LOT. But it all worked out, and I feel that our back to school morning routine is the reason why! Today I’m sharing my tips on how we rocked it and how you can too!
Stress-free Ways To Rock Your Back To School Morning Routine
This post is in collab with Hamilton Beach.
I’m not a morning person, but when you have kids, you have no choice. This year my son started the 4th grade. He’s been pretty good with getting ready in the morning.

Organize the night before.
The best way to rock your back to school morning routine is to start the night before! I like to prep my son’s clothes for the whole week. Every night I just grab his clothes from the closet organizer and leave them out for him to wear the next day. I also get his lunch/snacks ready and have him double check that everything is in his backpack (homework, agenda, etc.).
-
Get plenty of rest.
It’s important to get plenty of rest if you want to start your morning right. Although we didn’t get my son prepared in advance, came the school night, he was out like a light by 8:30. Mostly because he was so excited about starting the 4th grade. His school days bedtime is 9 pm which is pretty reasonable for a kid his age.

Eat breakfast!
Breakfast is by far my favorite meal of the day. The first couple weeks of school, I like to get up early to cook a hot breakfast for my son. Then we switch to cold breakfast (cereals) sometimes toast or waffles. This week we got to test the Hamilton Beach Breakfast Sandwich Maker. I love that it takes only 5 minutes to make a delicious breakfast sandwich.
This week’s favorite is English muffin, Canadian cheddar, and a few slices of ham. We also love adding already cracked eggs from Egg Creation. HUGE time saver.
And Voila!!
Love this little machine. It doesn’t take much space on the counter, and it’s so easy to clean. Which helps a lot with our morning routine success. The Breakfast Sandwich Maker is retailed at $39.99. You can also get the dual machine for $62.99 -perfect for bigger families.

We don’t have any back to school kids here. These are still some good ideas for adults to get going in the morning
Organizing beforehand is going to help so much. I like now having to worry as much on busy mornings.
Thankfully we homeschool now, and our mornings aren’t really stressful. However, these are still great ideas for any number of things that would apply to us, such as an early morning appointment.
Back when our kids were in school, we had two out of three kids that were easy to get ready for school! When we were down to 2, after their older brother graduated, one was easy to get ready, the other, not so much. I wish we had had some great ideas such as these when they were younger!
I do think the Hamilton Beach Breakfast Sandwich Maker would help me get organized in the morning. I’ll have to check these out. I try to organize the night before but that doesn’t always go as planned.
This is fantastic! I love making mornings easier and you just totally helped me with some ideas. We start school this week so I will have to do these stress free ways to rock my back to school morning!
This looks like a nice addition to my kitchen counter. Although we don’t have any back to school kids in the house anymore, (well, there is just one more and he’s in college so he can make breakfast for himself) this would come in handy when fixing a good breakfast for me and my husband. Thanks for letting me know.
We have been getting back into our routine as well and these are great tips! We focus on getting rest and having everything ready the night before.

We don’t have kids but I’m a teacher and getting back into the swing of things is always fun. The Hamilton Beach breakfast maker sounds like a real time saver.
This is so important especially in my house with 4 kids off to school. I thrive on schedules and planning and the only way to go for sure!
Getting ready the night before definitely keeps the stress down. I try to get ready for each homeschool day the night before.

What an awesome way to start the day with! I dont have any kiddos going back to school … so this I have to share to friends who does 😉
I have no kids but this is pretty awesome, it’s definitely going to make your mornings easier especially if you have more than one child to prepare for school. I love the tips and I’m sure parents will appreciate them!
I normally skip breakfast because I don’t have time to make anything but this looks like it would be perfect for me. I could make breakfast sandwiches so easily!
You can make a breakfast sandwich in under 5 minutes and no pot to clean! You would love it!
Organization is the key. When you prepare beforehand it makes like a little less stressful. Great points and thanks for sharing.
This is such an awesome appliance. I wish they made one with a European plug! I definitely would get one!
That is a nifty little sandwich maker! My kid would be in heaven for one of those!
