The following is a guest post from Daniel Sherwin. Daniel is a a single dad to a daughter (9) and son (6). His site, DadSolo.com provides resources and information for single dads.
His post is about managing the morning routine, which is something my wife, Deb, and I are always talking about. I am usually working during the morning rush, which means that Deb is left juggling dressing our daughter, getting our son out of bed, making breakfast, preparing two lunchboxes, and feeding the dog, all in less than an hour.
Happy Thanksgiving to all that celebrate. Enjoy the post.
