[quote=Anonymous]Our kids are in the same school and we trade walking duties with other families on our street - it makes no sense for 10+ adults walking every morning so we assemble at a corner and a few adults walk a gaggle of kids the last 1/4 mile.

Rec sports, but we car pool and don’t go to every single practice.

We don’t go to the gym. We workout with a Lululemon Mirror and run or bike outside from home.

We also both go to the office on Wednesday, so that is our takeout night. We usually batch cook on the weekend which gets us through Tuesday.

We almost never “run errands”. I use curbside pick up for groceries at Harris Teeter ($100/year) and BJs (free). We also use curbside at Target, Whole Foods, Michael’s, and Home Depot for anything that Amazon doesn’t have. My kids order their clothes from websites - neither has ever been in a shopping mall / department store. We have a pharmacy a block from home on the way to/from school.

Our house is not a mess because our kids unpack bags when they come in the door and they each have one cubby for their backpack/coat/shoes and one basket for papers they bring home. We have an “inbox” for things we need to review and sign. We all pick up for 5 min after dinner so that the clutter can’t accumulate. [/quote]
