Tips for Making Sunday Mornings Less Hectic for Church
Lay out clothes the night before. One thing you can do to make Sunday mornings a lot easier is to actually lay out the clothes for everyone the night before. Most of the stress for Sunday mornings are because no one can find their clothes. You wouldn’t believe how much stress this eliminates. This includes laying out church clothes for mom and dad as well.
Get yourself ready first. I don’t know how much stress I have created by waiting until the last minute to get myself dressed. I start by getting myself ready and I have noticed that Sunday mornings are a lot less stressful. Sometimes moms wait until the last minute for themselves and it is more harmful than good.
Make breakfast super easy. Another time consuming thing on Sunday mornings is breakfast. While I dream of making an amazing meal, this doesn’t always happen. I have learned that Sunday mornings just are not worth the stress. I have saved my sanity a lot by making breakfast super easy on myself. Sometimes my family has donuts from the store and I’m okay with that.

Have dad get the kids ready. Seriously, if Sunday mornings are that stressful to you, then you need to let dad get the kids ready. It’s not possible to do everything as the mom, which is why you need to let dad do some of those tasks. It’s not worth being all stressed out over getting the kids ready, just to have a little control. It’s so worth it to just have dad get the kids ready.
Wake up earlier on Sundays. On Sundays, it may seem like everyone is waking up early enough already. However, it is possible for you to wake up even earlier on Sundays. Maybe the kids don’t need to wake up early, but it would help you out if you did. With all of this being said, it would even make sense to leave a few minutes early if this helps keep the stress level down on Sundays.
Stress is no fun, especially when you’re a mom. Take a deep breath, you’ll get through this Sunday and every other Sunday, you just need to keep these tips in mind. What tips would you add?
