[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For food:
Make muffins for breakfast in bulk.  Every weekend I make a big batch of something and freeze it and we have a few choices every week (“Hulk” muffins with spinach, blueberry, paleo poppyseed, bacon cheddar and cornbread, pumpkin walnut, etc).  It takes barely more time to make 3 dozen than one dozen.

For lunch they get the same 5 “entrees” every week:
Pigs in blankets, pizza, pbj sandwich, larabars and veggie dino nuggets from aldis.  I make the pigs in blankets and veggie pizza as part of my weekend rotation.  Also in my rotation is mass-producing pbj sandwiches (I prep 2 loaves at a time and cut sandwiches in half so I can just grab it in the morning without getting everything out and getting crumbs on the counter).  For snack and alongside their entree they get fruit.  Berries and other time-sensitive things in the beginning of the week, freeze-dried fruit or applesauce pouches towards the end of the week.

For dinner: 
We have veggies and hummus and cheese one night a week, breakfast-for-dinner one night a week, bean-dip with chips one night a week and pasta one night a week. Fridays we order out. I cook real meals on the weekend and DH and I take leftovers for lunch two days a week and then do packaged frozen meals the other days.

We wash a load of laundry daily.  We all put our clothes right into the washer when they are dirty, then I start it with a delay in the morning and move to the dryer after bed.  DH folds and puts away on the weekend.  We have a housecleaner every other week and she changes the bedding then too.

For day-to-day mess we keep it from getting too bad by not wearing shoes in the house, being somewhat minimalist with our possessions, and doing a nightly cleanup routine.[/quote]

Genius.  Great post.  [/quote]
