@quedee Agreed with some of these. Yes to the dishwasher hack. Clothes prep I’ve used since my daughter was in daycare. Pick an outfit the night before and she dresses on her own.
I use robot vacuum to vacuum rooms during the day.
We visit the library once a week and take out books. Books I return and don’t have to buy.
We loosely meal plan to leave room for a random takeout or possible dinner with friends. We do Costco/ Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods semi & prepared food section. Costco has like good frozen chicken option you can just throw over a salad kit & we all eat that.
Leftovers hack is my daughter will take left overs for lunch. She’s probably one of the few kids who brings Sesame Chicken in a thermos for lunch but sometimes that’s just what lunch is. Most days I make her lunch in the morning.
I slice dried mango as a snack option, she gets some fiber in the snack. That’s my healthy hack.
My kid loves Mac & cheese so I gave her Annie’s but now switched to Goodles which has veggies in it and is healthier. That’s my switch to healthier option hack.
I fold laundry in the evening and catch up on stand up comedy. It makes the task less mundane and I can enjoy what I’m watching.
