I'm one of those people who can go the whole day without eating because I'm so preoccupied by the needs and demands of my girls and man are they demanding! Being able to keep up with the Super Twins is quite the feat and it requires some intentional preparation.
I'm a night owl. I dredge through life the entire day, but once I put the girls to bed I come alive! lol. It's so weird. After enduring a terrible day filled with a ton of tantrums I decided I should take advantage of this kid-free time slot. Cooking overnight is working for me. I don't know why I hadn't thought of it before. When the girls were babies I used to pre-measure their formula, boil the water for their bottles, add the cereal (I'm from the South. We poke them nipple holes, give 'em cereal and they sleep through the night lol. I didn't say it was healthy, but it works!) and the baby food the night before. It just saves time and cuts down on the fussiness. Now that they're busy toddlers not too much has changed. I still try to measure out their hot cereal, prep the fruits and snacks, bottle up the water, juice and milk that they'll consume for the whole day, and make the timeless peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunch. If I don't do this, I'm playing catchup all day long. I'm sure if I was a better cook this wouldn't be a problem, but I'm not so boo!
I also prep my own food. Otherwise I'll never eat.
