While my 3 kids are in the next room vegging out from all throwing up this morning, I thought I would post some things that work for me. Ya know, some tricks of the trade I've learned.
Remember when we went through
Sugar Detox and didn't eat sweets for a week? Turned out to be a good thing for our family. So now we have treats on Sundays and Mondays and no sweets during the rest of the week. There are exceptions for treats at school or special occasions, but for the most part, we are sweet-free. It's not too bad actually! We now have popcorn at night after dinner, and the kids love it.
And my new favorite
jeans! Now that I'm 24 weeks, these are so comfortable that I wear them every day except laundry day. Seriously. The "Secret Fit" panel is like a giant spandex band that goes all the way around, with no tight elastic at the top. My mom-in-law found them at Kohl's and I have worn them all the time since Christmas!
And these are something else I wear almost every day... support socks (for the lovely vericose veins popping up on my legs) and $5 crock shoes from Wally World (=Wal-Mart). I was wearing red crocks every day until I found these normal-looking shoes. I just don't want to bend over anymore to put on shoes. Sometimes I wear them around the house when my feet hurt.
I put a gallon-sized ziploc bag into my diaper bag for miscellaneous trash and wrappers. That thing really gets used during church... and makes a great place to stash a nasty diaper when we're out.
And my new favorite place!
DinnerMarket makes fresh meals that they then freeze and deliver to your house. It works out to be $11 per dinner for us. With the time I've put in for accounting and taxes lately (not to mention the kids), it's so nice to pull a dinner out of the freezer when we need it.

Look at you...impressive. Some great ideas. You do look really good this pregnancy. I love seeing pictures of you too and not just the kids. You look great! I do the popcorn trick too. Works like a charm!
