Benjamin occupies himself pretty well, so it isn't too much of a problem. But your tips are GREAT for any time when you may need to get something done and need to plan ahead. I 100% agree with you on the prep ahead thing!!

It's so hard not to just shove the kids at my husband when he walks in the door, but that's EXACTLY what I feel like doing! :-)Jessica Morrisonhttp://www.30somethingmotherrunner.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9097608524604685450.post-2342050167602627822012-11-16T18:53:18.549-05:002012-11-16T18:53:18.549-05:00What a great list!

For me, I work until about 4:30/5:00, so it sucks because the witching hour(s) are my only time with my kids on weekdays. I feel like all I do is yell and stress. I only cook on weekends lately - I make enough of a few dishes to last us the week so the only thing i need to do is cook rice or pasta or something. Once I did that, the witching hour got much better here! Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
