@holyspiritleads2truth I precook veggie side dishes so they just have to be microwaved.
The slowcooker is our best friend. When I get home, I just have to make rice or noodles, pop veggies in the microwave and bam! Dinner is done.
We have a washer with a delay end function. So I put a load of laundry in in the morning, I set it to end about a half hour before I get home. When I walk in the door, I go straight downstairs and move it to the dryer. Fold after supper. We are slowly getting kiddo involved in laundry, so folding is an all hands on deck activity.
Toy rotation was a game changer. WAY less toys to clean up multiple times a day. Added benefit is that munchkin plays more creatively with what is available.
We are a crafty house, so every couple weeks I prep craft activities with all the pieces needed and a small instruction sheet. So if we are making felt elephants, I have all the pieces cut out, googly eyes and a picture to remind me how it gets assembled in a ziplock bag. They sit in a bucket with scissors and glue on our dining room table.
