New moms know that there are a lot of tasks that are harder to do with a new baby. Leaving the house to go grocery shopping, cooking, doing laundry, etc. are all extra hard when a new baby and her big brother take a lot of time. I'm not complaining, it's just the reality and so I have felt so blessed to have so much help with Evelyn and Jase. Grandma Kate has helped so much. The major help has been playing with the boys and holding Evelyn and just loving on the kids so they weren't needing my attention or resenting the baby. They have had so much love and fun. Another huge help has been the help with household duties, especially shopping and cooking. She has been making recipes from this cookbook.
There are so many great recipes and the kids have had fun helping to make them and freeze them.
She's also helped by getting some on-the-go breakfasts and lunches ready to grab or put into lunchboxes. I had seen this blog on pinterest about making lunches ahead of time. My favorite tip is having meat and cheese sandwiches made ahead of time and frozen so they are easy to grab. You just have to put any condiments in between the meat and cheese so the bread doesn't get soggy. What a time-saver this is in the morning. We made 11 sandwiches on Saturday. They're individually wrapped and then put in the loaf bag and ready to go. Love this.
This is cool stuff
