I meal plan and have been since we moved here, it's the only way I'd survive! That's my evening activity the day the flyers are delivered, I sit with them and my cookbooks and figure out what's on the menu. It's been a lifesaver and I love seeing the list on the fridge knowing I don't have to worry about dinner- I've already planned it! Sadly enough I even plan my baking and snacks- I think I

Totally!<BR/>I remember the feeling a few days after giving birth. I actually had an anxiety attack about it. I started thinking about how I did not want to die because I wanted to see my child grow up. <BR/>Before that, I never really thought about death.<BR/><BR/>I can see how thinking about the soldiers' families would have moved you to tears.

Alternative - a little baby powder at the roots - absorbs oil, and (in my hair, at least) you can't tell once I've brushed it through.

I WISH I was better at menu planning, it's definitely something I want to do.<BR/><BR/>I once came across a website that let you do menu planning online plus gave you the nutritional information behind the meal. It's killing me that I can't find it anymore!!

We&#39;re BIG on the meal planning around here! It&#39;s amazing how quickly we revert to take-out if I don&#39;t plan. Once a month or so I spend a bit of weekend time prepping stuff for my freezer (soup, meatloaf, etc). I&#39;m also a huge fan of the following convenience kitchen appliances: slow cooker, bread maker, &amp; steamer. With these you can spend time giving the kids some cheerios

Oh man... meal planning... it's something I need to do. I can barely get a list together for the grocery store. I can get away with this for now while on Mat Leave, but when I go back to work my time will be even more strained with 2 kids to pick up, feed, bathe and bed. <BR/><BR/>Carol

I go through periods of meal planning, then I don't do it for a while but I have to admit that I love it when I get around to it. I really find that it makes everything so much easier, I know what we're going to have, the shopping is quick and I'm not leaving with a bunch of stuff I don't need.<BR/><BR/>I just haven't figured out a good way of doing it so that I can keep it up.

I think that's awesome, Gina!<BR/>I had tried to plan a week's worth of menus a while ago, and didn't stick with it. It was just too convenient for me to stop off for groceries on the way home from work.<BR/>But menu planning is definitely something I should get prepared for before I go back to work.

Yeah, I'm working through going back early. I have to go back every morning. And every morning it's way too early! :P<BR/><BR/>Good luck with the new job. I'd offer to babysit Petra, but I don't think she likes me!<BR/><BR/>Glad to see you're back to blogging!

Hi There,<BR/>I stumbled on your blog through Junction Parents, and really liked the title! My name is Julie- mom to Levon (almost 4) and Eila (15 months). Currently I look after another little one, but sadly she'll be dropping down to part-time around July as her mom is having her second child. My rate is $50/day and that is inclusive of meals and snacks. We are out every day, be it at the Early

Wow! I just sent that daycare an inquiry about pricing. I'm looking for 2 part-time spots in the Fall of '09 -- a total pipe dream, I know. But even if they could accomodate us, there is no way I can earn enough working part-time to justify those prices. Good luck to you. It's hard enough to leave your first baby; you don't need to be stressing about whether they are in the best possible

For baked goods....I LOVE "Wanda's Pie in the Sky" by Wanda Beaver. You may know the bakery of the same name in Yorkville. There is not one recipe that isn't amazing!<BR/><BR/>I am also loving the Barefoot Contessa books for great everyday and entertaining recipes, her recipes also make a lot so leftovers can be frozen for future use. Tip...Costco has these books for great prices.<BR/><BR/>Ah.
