Before kids, I had a hard and fast rule: If you don't eat what I make, you don't eat. Seriously, I couldn't even type that with a straight face. That rule died hard and FAST. Now, faced with two children out of three with severe food aversions, I will make anything that is quick, easy, healthy, and can be deconstructed to please everyone.
I'm sure I am not the first mom to forget my kid's birthday, and I probably won't be the last. I've rounded up a few tips to help other moms who, like me, are well-intended but find themselves scrambling to plan a party at the last minute.
If you're in charge of the main event (cooking), then it's still a lot of work. In my family, that job is almost exclusively mine, and it's a lot to do: Feed a family of five with food of good nutritional value (and ideally taste), within time constraints, without going over budget, and without fail. My solution: Do it once a week and get it over with.
I'm overwhelmed! You're overwhelmed! We are all overwhelmed! Yup, that is pretty much the mom life. Whether you are a stay-at-home mom or a mom who works, life with littles can definitely feel overwhelming at times. Over the years, I have developed some mom hacks to help me survive to mom another day!
Recently, we packed up the four kids and two dogs and all our stuff and moved. Since having our first child, we have moved a few times, and although each move has been great for us, I find myself questioning my sanity during the process.
Whether you're stuck inside during a rainy day, cluster-feeding during those newborn days, looking to sit back and relax after the kiddos hit the hay, or just looking for something to semi-watch as you do chores, these shows currently streaming on Netflix will definitely keep you entertained and coming back for more!
Just when we think we have it under control, those aisles at the grocery store and Target turn bright red and pink, and a slight panic sets in. “Oh dear Lord, what are we going to do for Valentine’s Day?” We rack our brains for a cute, fun, and unique date night idea, only to realize in this post-Christmas, pre-tax season, we should be a bit more mindful with our money.
