As a mom of three under 5, I am realizing that I need some organization and structure in our lives.
I have realized as Jack gets older and settles more into a routine, that sane life at home with three kids is possible. With a few changes here and there...
Firstly, I need to get up EVERY MORNING before the kids. I am struggling with this because honestly who doesn't want that extra sleep? However, getting up before the kids and having time to myself allows me to run the day and not the day to run me.
Secondly, I need to suck it up and be one of those moms who uses paper plates. I can't stand buying things that are just going to be thrown in the trash. However, if i could spend less time in the kitchen cleaning and more time playing with my kids... it would be so worth it.
Lastly, I need to make and freeze meals a head of time so they are so much easier to whip out on the spot.
I recently received a great book on how to sneak pureed vegetables into meals without kids knowing. This is going to help me wonders with Rowen. Every mealtime with him is a battle with those darn vegetables. Also, I've been researching yummy breakfast smoothies I can whip up in the blender and sneak some yummy fruits and veggies in there as well.
I'm sure there will be more changes in our future... These are the ones I'm focusing on now. ;)
