Quotes to ponder:

"Morning basket is a tool you can use to help your mornings, not something else to keep up with!"

"This isn't complicated Pinterest craft time or super messy play. This is a great time for them to have an activity they can use their imaginations with so that you can get tasks done."

"Don't forget how powerful the small tasks can be and applaud yourself for taking a step!"
