It’s just impossible pre-baby to imagine how all-consuming a baby is. Impossible.

I am the exact same way. I almost feel as though we are soulmates at time. Sweet thought, isn’t it? lol

I know so much about healthy eating, I read about foods to eat, recipes to make, I got to the grocers and pick up a tomato, a cucumber and bread. I come home and have no clue what to do with it.

What can I say? It only gets worse… For a change from Hipp jars though, think cooking your own pasta and freezing it in baby sized portions (this works really well in our house). Obviously this also make one dinner for all and its the leftovers youfreeze! Cooking the veg in the microwave and stocking up on tinned fish (mackeral etc) in spring water these also go down a treat.
I have also discovered that kids love hoovering and polishing and tidying (well in our house at least) Train L. up well and you won’t have to lift a finger in a couple of years time…

I just never invite anyone over. Ever. Job done.

And Kai eats Organix crisps which is about as close to an Organic wholesome diet as I can muster. Staples in our house consist of varieties of toast, dried pasta and cheese. Sometimes all at once.

I figure there will be time for housework and good diets when I am rich and can afford a cleaner and a personal chef.

I would love to live in a town again and have decent take-away options (sigh).

PS. There is an award for you at my blog. x

Just take care of the baby and don’t worry about housework. It’s for the birds anyway.

This too shall pass! but eat well enough to not deplete yourself if you are nursing – that will not do anyone any good….
I hired a young girl to help 2 afternoons a week and though I did not leave a baby with her, it helped me get through making a couple good meals a week and clean up. She was so great when I had to leave 3 children and go out of town years later she could keep things going and by then was old enough to be on her own. A few dollars well spent.

My children had Celiac Disease and I could not eat out or buy pre-packaged items….enjoy this slack period because who knows what is coming next…I never thought I would be a farmer in the city!

Ah yes, the peanut and vino dinner! How naive we all are when all we have to content with is a bump. I cannot remember the last time I sat down to a proper meal i.e. containing vegetables, despite my insistence that the boys eat one every day of the week. Ho hum (pours another glass of wine..)!

Poo. I just wrote a really long reply and Clickcha just spewed it out somewhere into the internet highway. Anyway basically, housework is dull. Vietnamese take outs are yum. Enjoy. It all sounds pretty normal and perfect to me. xx
