It’s the end of the day. Time to get the kids into pajamas, grab their bedtime books and tuck them in. The problem is, the book is missing or pajamas are nowhere to be found and tomorrow is laundry day.
What about a bedtime bag? Bags are used to corral books and materials for school and sports, why not extend that use for bedtime? Have the kids put pajamas and any bedtime activities (such as books, journals, pencil, flashlight) into a bag and have it hanging by the bed all ready. If you’re crafty, sew your own (or have your children sew it!) but if you’re not, various stores carry plain canvas totes that can easily be embellished with fabric, paint or fabric markers. Such an easy fix for what is often a hectic time of day.
