How to Have Easy DAYsies and Smoother Bedtimes | POF44

Mornings are the worst time of the day for our family BY FAR!  My husband and I are NOT morning people and apparently neither are our kids who are now 12 and almost 15.   I have always found that a regular routine is key to getting us out the door on time and in peace (although it’s not always a perfect science with teenagery boys!).  For parents who struggle with mornings and establishing a routine, meet your new best friend, Elaine Tan Comeau, founder of Easy Daysies!  As a mom to three kids and a former teacher, she has developed easy to follow magnetic schedules to help kids stay on track of tasks from morning routines to bedtime.  If you struggle with these areas of the day like most parents, you need to check out this episode where Elaine explains why a schedule and routine is so important and how to get on one. BONUS: Elaine shares her thoughts on homeschooling during quarantine as well.  P.S. use these same tips for when kids are back in school for when they need to do homework! About Elaine Tan Comeau Elaine Tan Comeau knows the ups and downs of being a mom entrepreneur.  She launched her product line and company from off her kitchen table two days after her third baby was born.  She went from being a school teacher to accidentally inventing a children’s product, to CEO and Founder of one of Dragons’ Den favorite pitches, Easy Daysies, which incited a bidding war among all five Dragons.
