My friends and family have recently discovered a love for Brooklyn Bean Roastery after receiving a few samples for a “Tasting Party.” I was sad that I couldn’t join in since I’ve never tried Black and White Cookie! So far my favorite roasts have been the breakfast blends, which is lucky because I’m currently doing a giveaway for a 24 pack!
The theme of the giveaway is Back to School. Which works out perfectly because so many of my friends and family are teachers! While I would ask how do you wake up and make it out the door in time – in the spirit of “Back to School”
What is your sure fire way of waking up the kids and getting out the door on time?
Enter below using the Rafflecopter widget. It’s going on until the end of the month! And make sure to leave a mandatory blog comment [anonymous works, just leave your name!] answering the question above. 🙂 If you don’t have kids, let’s say you were babysitting. haha! What would you do?
And make sure to take advantage of all of the bonus entries. They are easy peasy. 🙂
Contest open to those with a U.S. address.
Good luck!!

I try to prepare as much the night before as I can.
Blasting music
Laying out clothes before!

Just rip those covers right off and open up the blinds!
Sonic Alert Boom Alarm Clock – it wakes them up whether they want to or not.
No kids. 🙂
I did this successfully by not having any kids.
My kids are grown now but I do remember the struggles in the morning.
Do as much the night before, prep lunches, pick out clothes, get them to bed early (all in a perfect world right?)…ha!
I really have no idea. My daughter was never a problem. She was an early riser as are myself and my husband
I must have been very lucky but mine were never a problem. Now the adults? The smell of bacon frying generally gets everyone to the kitchen!
I make sure they get plenty of sleep by going to bed early.
Organize everything the night before.
Using extra incentives not to sleep in, like making the last person to the breakfast table have to wash the dishes!

They can set an alarm when they are older on their phones and put it across the room so they have to get up to get it. Also get to bed early enough Rosanne rosans4@comcast.net
It's easier on me to prepare the night before. It's easier on them if they're excited for where we're going.
singing to my kids!
have everything ready ahead of time
Get breakfast ready & then call them down to eat.
laying out everything the night befire
Getting as much stuff done the night before as possible, and its easier if I get up before them and do any other last minute things

I have to annoy my daughters out of bed but I make sure they go to bed at a decent time the night before and that means them turning in their electronics at bedtime so I know they won't get on them after bedtime.
Try not to yell! it only gets everybody mad . I set the time five minutes a head to mess with my kids head.
promising a trip to starbucks or mcdonald's for breakfast
No idea!
I am lucky, my daughter sets an alarm & gets herself up.
I get their clothes ready and layed out the night before and make sure they get to bed at a good time.
My children are all grown now. However, when they were younger I used to wake up before them and make sure everything was ready for them when they woke up.
Mine are grown
Showering and getting outfits ready the night before!
Not having any kids simplifies everything! 🙂
Waking up early and getting clothes and food ready then night before!
I don't have kids, but I make sure I get out of the house on time by choosing my clothes the night before.
Get everything ready the night before.
I think to make sure you're organized the night before!
I wake them up with hot cocoa <3
The kids enjoy the twist-and-bake cinnamon rolls and I love a morning cup of coffee. Mmmm… that's motivation to get-up and get moving.

Everything is done the night before: homework and backpacks packed up, any practice or gym clothes packed up, lunches made and in the fridge and clothes to wear laid out on dressers! Makes my only job in the morning breakfast!
I threaten to put them on the bus.. .I drive them.
Having a good breakfast waiting for them on the table!
I tell them they will get on the bus in their PJ's if their not ready on time.
try to get as much done the night before
its my coffee lol. thanks so much for the chances to win.
I threaten to go to the bus stop in my night clothes and fuzzy slippers.
I lay out school outfits the night before and prep as much of their lunches as I can.
Getting their outfits ready the night before!
I am always tempted by the bucket of ice water…..but I compromise by starting early. I know it will take more time than I think so I always add in an extra half hour.
Having outfits ready to go and letting them dress themselves is the way to go to getting out the door on time.
noise in the morning … no one likes it
I try to entice them to come down for a warm breakfast.
My daughter loves school and I have no problem waking her up. Me, on the other hand, need two cups of coffee before I get out the door!
preparing the night before and coffee of coarse!
no kids.
water! :b haha
Since I don't have kids, if I were babysitting I would…blast some music!
I need to get at least 6 hours of sleep to be really awake in the morning and functioning efficiently.
have no kids
Settting the alarm an additional 30 minutes on the early side has always worked for me.
Making a great breakfast 🙂
No kids for me!
Have everything ready the night before it leaves a little bit of extra time.
A loud alarm clock
I hate to say it, but I'm a morning person. I never have a problem getting up & going in the morning…and neither do my kids. They get themselves up. I set my alarm for 5:20am, but usually wake up just before it goes off anyways.
They wake me up first.
I have no children, but my great dane is a SUPER SLEEPER. If he's allowed in bed (boyfriends been hunting for two weeks, so he's been in bed!), he will stay there until you makeeee him get up. So. I usually just open the back door and tell him I'm going outside and THEN he will come running. #Lazy
I was able to do this by not having any children haha
I don't have kids? I used to get up when I worked by putting the alarm clock far away from me so I had to walk across the room to wake up.
I'd make a really tasty breakfast!
I make sure everyone is up at a certain time. That way I schedule for the dragging and complaints…lol
I prepare everything the night before and then wake them up with the delicious smells of breakfast.
A spray bottle full of cold water. I had cats long before I had kids 😀
The easiest way to get out of the door on time is to prepare as much the night before.
I get most things ready the night before. In the morning I wake them up and tell them they need to be ready 15 minutes before we actually need to go.
The sure fire way of getting them up and out the door to school on time is, that they will be grounded if they are late to school.
Waking them up 15 minutes earlier than needed.
Singing. I know that I have a beautiful singing voice, they just dont agree. Mwahahaha
Get them to bed on time.
I try to get everything ready the night before, and get everyone including myself to bed at a decent time! It doesn't happen to often.
we prepare the night before
I get as much done the night before as I can and always make sure backpacks are ready to go by the back door.
