Ah... Well the head cold turned into a solid ten day virus... Dear hub did a magnificent job managing but the housework took a hit. By all fair estimates I think it will take two weeks to hit our standard levels of cleanliness. The trick is to get one or two things caught up each night until you hit that magical point where everything is clean and then you have to maintain your rotation. Easier said than done but as I lie here writing I can hear the whir of the vacuum downstairs and it sounds like hope!
The foray into baby food continues I had a nesting freak out moment this weekend and went a little tupperware crazy, however I now have a nice baby food containment system. Our DD (darling daughter) had a big day today she had her 6 mo check up with shots. Butternut squash purée with thyme and ginger for lunch. A trip to the park for ride in the baby swing, thank you time change, and lastly a big dinner of carrot purée. She is currently sleeping like it's her job!
Making the baby food is actually pretty fun. It doesn't take too long and it's fairly easy. I will say I am really happy with my decision to order my groceries online and have them delivered to the house. In the epic battle to use time as wisely as possible ordering groceries suddenly seemed line an excellent idea. I am ordering from Mile High Organics which is nice since I can feel really good about the quality of food in my fridge and it makes it super easy to prep organic, GMO free food for DD.
I am always amazed at the energy and time spent in the pursuit of food. Tonight I took dinner shift and made a batch of butternut squash enchiladas which were freaking fantastic! In order to do it though I had to prep the squash this weekend, peel, roast etc... and cook up a separate batch with no olive oil for,DD lunches this week. Then to make life easy while I was cooking dinner I prepped the veggies for a batch of chili that will be slow cooking while we work tomorrow. Balance it turns out requires some fierce planning ahead!
