'What I like to
do (it doesn't
always happen!)
is to get both my
work clothes and
Nicole's uniform
ready and laid out, including underwear
and socks or tights, so I'm not running
around looking for things when I don't
have much time. And, because Nicole
doesn't like rushing in the morning, I
turn getting dressed into a game!
'In between the first and second Peppa
Pig episodes when the adverts are on,
we race to get ready before the second
one starts, which makes it a bit more
exciting and fun! Works every time.'
SALLY SMITH, 38, MUM TO NICOLE,

Label it!
'I didn't bother
labelling my
children's
belongings
when they were
younger and at
nursery, but I lost so
many things, and when Saskia, my
oldest, started school, the teachers
were so strict about putting names
on everything that I had to get my
act together. It did help in the long-term.
'I had a dilemma over which type of
labels to buy - stick on, iron on, sew on,
even staple on! I opted for sew on in the
end (but had to ask my practical friend
to do it for me). Now, around the house,
I know which kit belongs to which child
and I haven't lost anything!'
GEORGINA MARIC, 43, MUM
TO SASKIA, SEVEN AND MAX,
THREE, FROM SURREY
Pack it up
'For my family,
eating healthily is
key, so when it
comes to Coby's
packed lunch,
I do discuss
options with him.
'Obviously his
preferences aren't always healthy but I
insist on two pieces of fruit and always
sneak a dose of calcium and a "treat" to
make it more appealing. His sandwich or
wrap will usually consist of ham or tuna
as he loves those the most. He'll argue,
though, so coming to a compromise can
be hard. I always make sure there are
lots of berries (for antioxidants) and dairy
(mini cheese or a yogurt drink).
'When you're a busy parent you have
to allow extra time to prepare lunches so
you know your child will eat it up.'
SARAH TEPPER, 38, MUM TO COBY,
SEVEN, FROM NORTH LONDON
Food for
thought
'Not knowing
what to cook
at dinner time
for my two
children always
used to stress me
out, so I decided I had
to get super organised.
'This involves planning exactly what
we're all eating for the whole week and
it allows me to do my weekly shop with
the exact menus and recipes in mind.
It works well because we don't always
eat the same old things, which means
no moaning and I feel like my kids are
getting a good balance of meat, fish
and vegetables. It also cuts down on
cost, waste and - most importantly
- my stress levels!'
KELLY LEVER, 41, MUM TO OLIVIA,
10 AND JOSEPH, SIX, FROM BRISTOL

ornings, afternoons
and evenings...
When you have kids,
they all roll into one.
Fighting for the bathroom before school,
getting the kids to eat breakfast, making
packed lunches and thinking about
what to cook for dinner when each
child wants something different - being
a parent is hard work! Then there are
the arguments about what the children
have lost at school that day. These
mums share their tips on how to make
the working week a little bit easier...
