[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 375464, member: 3907"] I use a lot of interchangeable recipes, so substitutions are easy depending on what I have in the fridge. I usually keep staples around (some sort of meat or chicken, a collection of vegetables, lettuce for salads), so I can quickly throw things together. I do all food prep (wash and chop veg, put frozen meat in the fridge to thaw for a meal a few days later, etc.) on weekends, so that I can just quickly assemble meals on the fly during the week. With regard to baby care, I: - Keep a small changing station (diapers, wipes, cream, plastic bags, changing mat) in each room where I spend time with the babies. That way I don't have to lug them up to the change table every time. I collect soiled diapers in the plastic bags and transfer them to the recycling bin next time I pass by it. - assemble any breakfast items that don't need refrigeration the night before. They're out on the counter ready for me when I get up. - keep at least three full days' worth of baby utensils and dishes around, so that I'm not caught short if I didn't get the dishes done the night before. That way I can still have clean utensils for the babies first thing. - figure out a logical work triangle, and make sure that everything is where my hands will be looking for it. Be sure to put everything back in its place, so that I'm not hunting around for something critical when I need it (e.g. changing table has wipes refills and extra cream right there, so that I don't have to try to manage an undiapered baby while looking for a spare wipe). That's all I can think of right now. Trinity P.S. It's good to see you Barbara. It's been a while. [/QUOTE]
