GETTING your kids ready for school in the morning can be hectic, so one mum has come up with a very clever solution.
The woman shared how instead of making her kids’ lunches every single morning before school, she does it all in one go for the week.

She explained: “When I’m organised, I bulk make sandwiches and pop them in the freezer.
“When you take them out in the morning, they’re ready by lunch time.
“Stops me from buying something out and the kids can just grab one for lunches.”
She added that she’s only done ham and cheese as the fillings, so isn’t sure about how others would fare in the freezer.
The mum added: “They are just like they were when I put them in.
“Not soggy at all.
“My mum did when I was little so I do it now.”
She showed a photo of her week’s sandwiches in Ziploc bags, with labels on so her kids know whose is who.
Her post has racked up hundreds of likes, and people seemed impressed with the hack.
One said: “Great idea.”
Another added: “I do this to make toasties when the bread or cheese are about to go off. Saves waste and something quick in the freezer.”
And a third commented: “It’s a great idea. I’ve been doing it since my oldest was in prep and he is grade 5 now.”
It’s not the only hack that could save you time in the mornings as a parent.
An organised mum has revealed how she preps an entire week’s worth of lunches for her family-of-five.
Suzanne, from Queensland, revealed an impressive photo of 25 lunchboxes for her three young kids, herself and her partner.
In the plastic boxes were tasty treats from sandwiches, chopped fruit, popcorn, biscuits, crisps and bagels.
She explained: “I pack two to three days at a time and it stays fresh. Even cut apple doesn’t brown.”
In order to keep the boxes organised, each lid has the person’s name and the day it is to be eaten.
In order to store all the lunchboxes, Suzanne said she keeps them all in a second fridge in her house.
Meanwhile, with seven little ones to organise, a lot can go wrong – and one mum revealed it’s a “school bag station” in the hallway that helps create a seamless morning routine for her family.
Jenna Pierce, 26, shared a snap of the neatly-arranged set-up which shows each of her kids’ school bags hung from hooks – with school shoes and storage below.
Even if you don’t have quite so many youngsters, a clever storage solution can make a huge difference – with many parents opting for a set of plastic drawers instead.
