Thank you to Easy Daysies for providing me with a product in exchange for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.

With the Back to School season upon us, the stress that comes along with getting back into that school day groove may seems a bit overwhelming. My family hasn't strayed too far from a regular half day of school routine this summer, because B has been attending summer play group for four mornings each week. I am very much a routine-oriented person, and don't like it when my schedule is interrupted. My four-year-old operates likes I do (for better or for worse), and from the moment his feet hit the wooden floors each morning to the moment his sleepy eyes are closing at bed time, he likes to follow a schedule, and do things in a certain order.

Our morning routine going smoothly sort of sets the tone for the rest of the day. B is becoming super independent, which is so wonderful. Having a guide that he can see and follow on his own each day gives him a bit more responsibility when it comes to daily tasks and chores. I have mulled over many ideas of what might work best for a 'chore chart,' but wanted to use something that would be fun, and age appropriate. Not too long ago, I found Easy Daysies, an award-winning company which offers magnetic schedule kits for kiddos!

I had the honor and pleasure of connecting with Mompreneur, Elaine Comeau, who founded Easy Daysies. Elaine is not only creator and CEO of Easy Daysies, she is mom to three children, and a classroom teacher in Canada. Easy Daysies is designed to help kids have easier, less anxious and more co-operative days. Many parents asked Elaine to create a similar routineboard/chart that she used in her classroom at school. There was such a demand for this type of product, that Elaine set to work at her kitchen table, and the product launched just a couple of days after the birth of her third child.

We were excited for the opportunity to try out Easy Daysies for ourselves.

We received the Every Day Starter Kit, and B couldn't wait to dig into it, and figure out how it all worked. The starter kit is appropriate for ages 3+, and includes a magnetic board, with task magnets and accessories. B immediately recognized some of the graphic images on the magnets, as well as some of the words.

The Starter Kit came with a fold & go magnet board, which can be hung up, or you can add a magnet to the back, and hang on the fridge, dishwasher, etc.

The magnetic board has a blank space at the top, where you can fill in your child's name, to personalize the board. The kit comes with a dry erase marker with attached magnet, and eraser on the cap. The kit also comes with a drawstring storage bag for unused magnets. There are 18 task magnets included with the kit, and add-on packs are available, as well.

We wrote B's name on his fold & go board, to personalize the responsibility chart, just for him!

The magnets each contain a graphic image, and large, bold words, which are easy for little ones to recognize or read. B was excited to see magnets for all of the activities he loves to do through out the day, and couldn't wait to organize them in order, on his magnetic board.

We placed the magnets in order of his routine on the left side of the magnetic board, which is the 'To Do' side of the board. When B completes a task, he goes to the board, and slides the magnet over to the 'Done' column. This has quickly become a huge help to us, and has made our mornings run more smoothly than ever before. We start out with the tasks that take place from wake up time to school time. B goes through the list, in order, and 'checks off' his tasks by sliding them over. While B is at play school, I list his afternoon tasks, and they're ready for him when he gets home. He starts with eating lunch, and then we go through the rest of the daily tasks up to bed time.
