The 6:47 AM problem
You haven't taken a sip yet.
Your toddler walks into the kitchen at 6:47 AM. You haven't taken a sip yet. The next 90 minutes will determine the whole day, and the only thing standing between you and a hot cup is whatever you can hand them in the next 30 seconds.
What this is
A PDF guide with a morning rhythm and the activities that run inside it. Instant download. Works on any device.

Real moms. Real mornings.

Is this for you?
This is for you if
- Mornings are your second-hardest hour
- You want a calmer start to the morning with small stretches of independent play
- You've tried "let them help cook breakfast" and discovered that means breakfast takes 45 minutes
Not for you if
- Your mornings are already calm (please email me your secrets)
- Your toddler is under 18 months
- You want a structured curriculum (this is a rhythm, not a schedule)

A note from Katie
I made a decision before my kids were born to keep screens out of their lives. My toddler is 2.5 and has never used one.
Keeping screens out is hard, and it's hard because the apps are designed to win. The only way to make it sustainable is to have something better ready to hand your toddler instead. That's what this is.
I built it for myself first. Tested every piece of it on my own kid. I'm sharing it because the moms in my DMs are fighting the same fight, and I'd rather you have this than spend another afternoon on Pinterest.

Questions other moms asked first
What ages?
2 to 4.
Will my early riser actually do these?
Yes. The whole guide is built for parents who haven't woken up yet. Every activity is set up the night before, so morning-you doesn't have to make a single decision.
Is there overlap with the Meltdown Playbook?
Almost none. Meltdown is dinner. Morning Coffee is mornings. Different moments, different systems, different activities.
What if mornings are okay but afternoons are hard?
Get the Meltdown Playbook ($17) instead. That's the dinner hour system. If you want both, the Bundle is $67 for all 4 systems.
Can I print it?
Yes.
What if it doesn't help?
Email me within 30 days, full refund.
Drink your coffee while it's hot. Tomorrow.
