A daily routine keeps the wheels of family life running smoothly. But sometimes it's easier said than done when life is so busy and your children aren't overly fond of going to bed ... or staying in it. While we can't promise that our products will make every day run like clockwork, they do offer a huge helping hand and encourage children to be that little bit more independent. Curious to know more? Read on!
WAKEY, WAKEY, SLEEPYHEAD
Wake up to a morning routine that kick starts the day. From clocks to help children know what time to get up and a calendar that allows them to change and set the date (and weather) themselves, we have lots of great little ideas keep things running smoothly.
And don't forget a handy clothes rail. Sort out their clothes the night before and hang them up on the rail to save rummaging time first thing in the morning. It's a nice way to develop a habit of preparation and planning ahead too.

TICK TOCK, TIME TO GO!
School bag? Gym Kit? Hat? Gloves? How many times have you stood by the back door reeling off a long check list making sure that your children have everything that they need for the day ahead? There's always something that's been left in the bedroom or has somehow disappeared under the sofa.
Well, we have everything that you need to make your hallway an organised haven and quick exits the norm. Even if your hallway is only small, a simple peg rail with hooks for bags and coats and a shelf for books and gloves will help make the whole process a lot easier.

TIME FOR BED, LITTLE ONE
Got a bedtime dawdler? Tempt them up to bed with our cosy bedroom ideas. Let them pick their favourite book from our gorgeous cloud book holder and snuggle up in bed to read it. When it's time to sleep, they can pop the book on the bedside table and turn off the lamp - it has a fully enclosed bulb so there's no hot glass to harm little fingers.

COUNT YOUR SHEEP, IT'S TIME TO SLEEP
Good nights mean happy mornings, and nothing works better than a cosy bedroom. Think blackout curtains to keep the light out, soft, snuggly bedding that's just the right amount of fun without being distracting, and a mattress that’s the perfect mix of soft and supportive.

A HAPPY HOMEWORK HABIT
It can be hard to get children to sit down and do their homework, but our bestselling desks and ingenious desk accessories will have them racing to take a seat. The Whittington desk is smart and space-efficient. It has storage shelves, a useful noticeboard, and an opening for cables. It's great for keeping homework corners organised, in a bedroom or in the corner of a living room.
