"A great time saver is to make steel cut oatmeal, put it in a ceramic bread loaf pan and slice it each morning, add a drizzle of maple syrup, milk and 45 seconds in the microwave?healthy breakfast in seconds and I can make it last over 3 - 4 days!"

GWYNETH'S bleeding obvious TIPS
FOR MUMS

  1. Schedule your time well. When I know what I am doing from hour to hour I get more done. Write it all in the day?s calendar, what you want to accomplish and in what time frame.
  2. Focus on the task at hand. Be thorough.
  3. I cook a lot, especially on the weekends, so I like to plan a rough menu for the whole weekend and get the food in on Friday. Obviously stores and websites that deliver make this a dream. In London I use Ocado. Also James Knight, my favorite fishmonger, will deliver. Having all of the ingredients means I'm prepared even when I don't think I am.
  4. I always lay the kids uniforms and school things out the night before once they are asleep. When it?s quiet I can check the "kid list" for show and tell items to bring in, consent forms, ballet kit, etc, so that the morning is less of a scramble.
  5. The school run is a great time to return calls (in whichever direction that the kids are not in the car) so don't forget your hands-free device.




remember ladies, be thorough whatever you do Wink

"I'm really in a rush I have a Shaklee vanilla shake. I always try to take the Shaklee multivitamin strip + iron, which comes pre-packaged, to save time. This way breakfast takes a few minutes to make and I have the time to talk to my children about their day."

What a brilliant tip!

Frankly a cold cup of coffee and a slice of rubbery toast does me.

Ha! Give me normal life anytime. Late for school, PE kits/ instruments/ lunchboxes forgotten. Late to work. Have to 'nip' out from work to sort forgetfullness. Leave work early to pick kids up. Pizza and oven chips for tea again. Work never happy but kids and me chilled :-)
