Wish day 3 - Mealtime

OneWishADay I wish i could cook a meal with my little one… My husband does all the cooking during dinner time in our house, and I do the dishes. It’s been this way for the past decade, but now more than ever, it’s so difficult to pause and take a moment to have lunch. I can’t even seem to make myself a pb&j. I’m just too focused on keeping up with baby’s needs - diapers, entertainment/tummy time, and pumping on top of feeding. Somehow, most days I manage to make myself a big pot of coffee in the morning though. :winking_face_with_tongue:

Isn’t it funny how we always find a way to get our caffeine even when it is difficult to make something to eat? Like I’ll wait until I’m starving to make something to eat, but I somehow have time to make an iced matcha latte from scratch when I wake up with my baby :joy:

lol! Yes :sweat_smile: Gotta get that extra bit of energy somehow! Although I know fuel comes from the food we eat, I can’t seem to start my day functioning at full speed without an iced coffee.

Coffee is always a necessity! Thankfully my husband has been helping with the cooking when I can’t do it and I try to make enough leftovers when I cook so we don’t have to cook as often it is a real time saver!

When and if I can get myself in the kitchen, meal prep is a game changer! I used to make a big batch of hard boiled eggs for egg salad sandwiches etc and that would make lunch time much easier! I gotta keep that in mind.

I feel you mama!!! It’s been easy quick reheatable meals coffee and a dream over here and most of the time it’s just coffee
