[quote=Anonymous]11 hours working days is really tough with two such young kids.  So give yourself a break.

Food - Costco frozen food with some veggies and fruits added. Ravioli, chicken nuggets, etc. Keep it very simple.

Clothes - Take everything to the nearest dryclean warehouse or a laundromat where they wash and fold.   Do that once to get a handle on laundry and then start doing laundry every day.

Cleaning - get a cleaning woman to come and clean.

I have a cleaning woman who charges by the hour. She has been working at my house for the past 15 years.  She knows my house inside out and has been able to come and sort out the house even when I have been out of the country for several weeks.  My DH can make sure that the kids are fed and alive and picked up from school (the essential parts that your nanny also covers), but nothing much beyond that because he also works.  Having someone come every week for around $150 and sort out cleaning and the laundry, water plants, change bedsheets, clean the fridge and recycle is God-send.
