Tips for Making Life Easier and More Efficient While on the Go! Plus a Coupon from Seattle's Best Coffee!

SocialMoms and Seattle’s Best Coffee have teamed up to create a blogging program in honor of the release of Seattle’s Best Coffee’s The Official Latte of Pretty Much Everything convenient grab-and-go Iced Latte cans. They asked mom bloggers like myself create a post called Tips for Making Life Easier and More Efficient While on the Go! .

With being a wife, having 2 kids and 2 dogs, I am always looking for ways to streamline processes in the morning so I can get out of my house early enough to arrive on time to my destination. Plus with the new school year approaching it important now more than ever to be more efficient in the a.m.

So here are a few of My Tips To Make Life Easier and More Efficient While on the Go:

Get up 30 minutes earlier than what you really need to- I find that some thing always seems to happen last minute whether it is a difficult child, a sick animal, or another stop that needs to be made before I reach my destination. If I get up 30 minutes earlier than what I really need to, this offsets any last minute hiccups. Plus, if I want to take the time to read the paper, and enjoy my coffee, I don’t feel rushed or stressed.

Shower the night before- Another way to make life easier and more efficient is to take my shower the night before. That way, it is already over with and it is one less step that needs to be completed in the morning. Plus typically on these kinds of days, I just pull my hair up into a pony tail any way so as to avoid having to put a lot of effort into my hair.

Lay out clothes the night before- (This goes for the adults and the kids) It is better to go ahead and pick out clothes the night before because I don’t know how many times I have been getting ready in the morning and have to switch outfits numerous times because I either am missing a button, I found a hole, or I don’t like the way the pants or shirts look on me. Hopefully if you pick your outfit out the night before, you will have discovered any issues. Plus, if you already have your kids clothes laid out, at least in my household, you avoid any debate about what they want to wear.

Print out directions in advance or have your GPS programmed- On occasion, I have been trying to get out the door and realize that I have forgotten to print the directions to where I am going, and I then have to stop what I am doing and lose valuable time. Now, I just print my directions out the evening before and review them so I have an idea of where I am going.

Have foods available that are convenient for Travel- Just like cans of Seattle’s Best Iced Latte, I keep convenience foods and beverages around like bananas, apples, granola bars, and bottles of water. This way I can take my meal and the kids meals on the go if I have to. Plus, I can always throw milk in a sippy cup and cereal into a Plastic Sandwich Bag and bring it along with us.
