Juggling life and baby, and even making a little extra money!

May 22nd, 2012 at 05:09 am

It is not easy, but we are getting better at making our schedules and errands work with baby's play and schedule.

Last three days:
Saturday we needed to run errands and we went to a little town. I took baby around the town and to his favorite toy shop that has a toy railroad installed. We played there for free while DH went to the post office and to pick up his glasses.

On Sunday we went for brunch in Williamsburg with our friends. We arranged for flexible schedule and left after baby's nap. We had fun seeing our friends and having lunch outdoors, like people who have houses do. Brunch place:


And Monday, DH had an offer to make $125 for doing a focus group after work. It started at 7, so there was no way he could do it if he had to wait until I get home and take the baby, and we had no other arrangements available.

But we worked it out - he drove the baby to my office at 6 p.m., and I took the little one to see Grand Central and we came home on a train while DH did the group. It was an adventure for the baby, he was fascinated by Grand Central and loved looking out of the train window when we rode home.

So with the extra money DH made today I bought this:


for our balcony herb garden. I will put herb planters on all of these shelves and always have fresh herbs available with no waste.


I still managed to make dinner:




Black sea bass in lemon mango cream sause (I know pasta is not very nutritious, but I simply had no time to make brown rice last night).

Today we are invited for dinner at our friends house. Baby is coming along, he will get to explore new space.

I believe it is not only good for us to do these things, but it is also good for him.

So, we are managing to have a life even with our monster commutes and 2 full time jobs and a baby. Now if only we could manage to get enough sleep.

    Just when you'll be able to get sleep, you'll stay awake waiting to hear that your kids are home safe. I say that as a mom of five who goes to be bed at 9:00 and has girls who get home as late as 10:00. Glad that you're able to find harmony in getting it all done, and enjoying it along the way Smile
