Mum puts kids to bed in next day’s clothes to save time in the morning and says it ‘works wonders’

The mum-of-two says her trick works wonders for saving time in the morning.

Lisa Lamond stars in an Australian renovation show, House Rules, on which she revealed her trick to save time in the morning.

The pre-school routine for her and many other parents can often be difficult with young children.

She said her daughters, Arabella, three and Ruby who is two like to dress themselves head to toe as they strive for independence.

Lisa added: “On days I’m working in particular, I don’t have a spare hour while they pull up one sock.

“So the best piece of advice I’ve been given is to dress your kids the night before in the clothes you want them to go out in.”

In the morning, she simply wakes her kids up, changes their nappy and puts on the shoes. She said: “It works wonders for me and where I’m at in life at the moment.”

Lisa also recommends taking advantage of online supermarket delivery to save the hassle of shopping with two young children and to leave the weekend for quality family time.

Lisa also said one her daughters has become attached and struggled to go to nursery. She said by printing out words with pictures of both the morning and evening routine it can help the little one preempt what’s coming up when she’s starting to feel anxious.

She urged parents to not compare themselves with other mums and dads, admitting at one stage she wouldn’t go out because she thought she couldn’t control her daughters and felt embarrassed.

She said: “We all have our own pace and ways of coping, but I got over it and learned how to diffuse the situation.”
