Welcome to Her Hustling Hub: How I Conquer My Mornings (Without Losing My Mind)

Ever feel like your mornings are a game of beat-the-clock? Between flipping pancakes, checking the school planner, running a bakery, and dodging laundry piles—I get it. Life doesn’t slow down, and neither can we.

Hi, I’m Sherri—mom, wife, college student, full-time hairstylist, homeschool teacher, home bakery owner, and part-time volunteer. That might sound like a lot because it is. But over time, I’ve learned how to hack my mornings to save time, stay sane, and leave the house feeling like I’m already one step ahead.

Today, I want to share one of my favorite kitchen hustle hacks that keeps me moving fast and leaves my space clean before I even walk out the door.

My “Clean-As-I-Go” Morning Routine

When I’m making breakfast and prepping the day, my kitchen is command central. So, before I even crack an egg, I set myself up for success:

1. Bring the Trash Can to You
Instead of running back and forth to the cabinet under the sink, I pull the garbage can out and place it right by the counter next to the stove. Every wrapper, eggshell, and scrap goes straight in as I go—no mess left trailing behind me.

2. Prep a Quick Clean Station
I fill the right-hand sink bay with hot, soapy water and a splash of bleach. Next to that, I stash a handful of clean cloths. As I cook, I can wipe spills, keep counters tidy, and submerge utensils and dishes right away for a quick soak.

3. Post-Breakfast Reset
After we eat, I reuse that soapy water to wipe down the stove and counters, and I’ve already got the dishes soaking. It takes five extra minutes, but I leave the house with a clean kitchen, ready to roll into the next thing on my list—whether it’s teaching math or mixing cookie dough.

  Monday Meal-Prep Made Simple: One Tub to Rule Them All 💪👏👌   Happy Monday, hustle crew! If your week is already sprinting and the sink is staging a coup, today’s tip is about streamlining—from the cabinet to the fridge to the dinner table.   Why “Same, Same” Saves Your Sanity 😌   After too many memories of my Mom spending hours matching orphan lids to mystery bowls, I declared dish amnesty: I stacked my cabinets with one basic set of plates, bowls, and drinkware that nest neatly. The real hero, though, is my stash of restaurant-style 28-oz black tubs with clear lids (the microwavable, stackable kind you can snag at Sam’s Club in sleeves of 40). Because every container is identical, clean-up is as mindless as stacking Solo cups—no hunting, no mismatched leaning towers. I average 8–10 months of reuse before a few tubs get too scuffed for comfort, and replacements cost pennies per week.   The 3 times 3 Prep Strategy 😏   I cook th...

Double-Duty List: Everyday Staples + “Company’s Coming!” Upgrades 😃   Because dinner shouldn’t hinge on a frantic dash down Aisle 9. Ever been here?  Wednesday, 4 p.m. I’ve just clocked out when my sister calls:   “Hey, can my boyfriend and I swing by?” Me: “Absolutely! Have y’all eaten?” “Not yet, but we’ll be ok.” Me: “Girl, I gotch-u (real word) 😉 What’s your ETA?” “Forty-five minutes?”   5 years ago I’d have rushed through the grocery store next door, sweating over impulse-buy pre-made salads and so on, and peeling price stickers off plastic tubs.   But 2025-me?   I knew my double duty list was just stocked, did a little fridge-door happy-dance, and pulled together dinner, and dessert (fruit smoothies in glass cups) without breaking a sweat. Hosting stress free- and I do love to host! 😁   What’s a Double-Duty List? It’s my go-to grocery list: i ngredients that keep weekday meals easy, and let me transition into ...
