Running Late: Our Morning School Struggles and What They Teach Us

Most mornings in our house are a whirlwind of mismatched socks, half-eaten breakfasts, and frantic shouts of "Where's your backpack?" No matter how early we wake up, it seems like we're always racing against the clock, and my kids end up late to school more often than I'd like to admit. At first, I felt guilty and stressed, but lately, I've started to see these chaotic mornings as a reminder that perfection isn't the goal—connection is. We laugh, we scramble, and sometimes we just have to accept that being a few minutes late is part of our family's story. Do you ever feel like you're the only one running behind?
