Her first tip is to have a basket of socks right by where the shoes are stored.
As putting on shoes is often the last task before heading out of the house, you don't want to be scrambling about for that missing sock.
Always having socks at the ready will make those morning rushes less hectic.
Elaina then goes on to say that she meal preps a variety of sandwiches at the start of the week and stores them in the freezer. This way, she can just 'prepare' her kids' lunchboxes in 2 minutes, and the kids' sandwiches will be thawed by lunchtime.
The Nashville mum left the best tip for last, which will likely save you the most time in the morning.
Elaina swears by her weekly clothing organiser, in which you can store outfits for the entire week.
No more losing time umming and ahing over what to wear to school. All the outfits are picked out at the start of the week, so there's no more discussion over what to wear, as the kids can simply slip on the outfits picked out for them.
