I do very simple makeup and I always carry the same bag.</p> <p>We also open the mail and either file it for later action or toss it. Bill pay what we can.</p> <p>Also gas in the car on the weekend so we don't have to fill on Monday and I take a day off a month for appointments. I'd rather spend the morning doing that and the afternoon errands that can't be done on the weekend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohms-what-are-your-best-time-saving-tips#post-1085677 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 14:09:11 +0000 sooz 1085677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I take showers at night. It's just too chaotic in the AM. I also prep my lunch and LO's lunch the night before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohms-what-are-your-best-time-saving-tips#post-1085601 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 13:42:01 +0000 littlek 1085601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to do the laundry on thursday night and then clean on friday night. That way I get to enjoy the weekend with my family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohms-what-are-your-best-time-saving-tips#post-1085594 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 13:40:11 +0000 LindsayInNY 1085594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have a LO yet but still look for time saving tips... This isn't an option for everyone but we send out our laundry and dry cleaning and order most groceries. I also make brown rice in bulk - the kind that takes 40 minutes, not the instant stuff, since it reheats like its fresh! We have that for dinner with meatballs or sausages and a salad. Any quick meal is a plus in my book! We also make a bunch of lunch sandwiches on Sunday night. As long as your "wet" condiment (mayo, mustard, etc.) is between the meat and cheese, the bread won't get soggy. It makes it a TON easier to grab lunches during the week!</p> <p>ETA: We also have a cleaning person. Clearly I'm not much of a house wife ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohms-what-are-your-best-time-saving-tips#post-1085572 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 13:30:11 +0000 Bookish 1085572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm still figuring it out, but so far what helps me is washing + prepping the bottles the night before, and having DH cook dinner every night. He is my biggest help, because I still feed LO twice before bed every night to tank her up, which takes over an hour. There's no way we'd eat before 8:30 if he didn't cook. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohms-what-are-your-best-time-saving-tips#post-1085571 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 13:30:02 +0000 autumnlove 1085571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prepare daycare stuff and my lunch the night before! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohms-what-are-your-best-time-saving-tips#post-1085557 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 13:23:12 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1085557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another big saver for me was Amazon Mom. I can order something and have it to my house in two days and not have to find time during a busy week to get to a ToysRus. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohms-what-are-your-best-time-saving-tips#post-1085544 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 13:19:48 +0000 Smurfette 1085544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wash and prep bottles after he goes to sleep. I don't do anything when I get home but spend time with her. And put milk from the day in the fridge.</p> <p>I send all her crib sheets, extra outfits, and bibs on Monday to day care, so I don't have to do anything during the week. I lay out her outfits for the week on Sunday night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohms-what-are-your-best-time-saving-tips#post-1085531 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 13:17:04 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1085531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get everything packed and ready the night before, sometimes even the clothes. So, all I have to do in the morning is change her, feed her and get out the door. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohms-what-are-your-best-time-saving-tips#post-1085432 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 12:36:18 +0000 JoJoGirl 1085432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely making easy meals, prepping stuff on the weekend,, freezing, pre-chopping, eating leftovers. Dinner is the bane of my existence most days, especially when DH is late (which is often). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohms-what-are-your-best-time-saving-tips#post-1085426 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 12:34:27 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1085426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We make bottles and prepare any solid foods the night before after we've put LO to bed. All of the bags are also prepared the night before so I can just feed him breakfast in the morning, change him and go! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohms-what-are-your-best-time-saving-tips#post-1085346 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 12:14:17 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1085346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband helps with a lot of stuff like packing bags. </p> <p>We only do quick meals on week nights. We eat a lot of frozen veggies that just require to be heated as a side. We focus on cooking the meat/main dish and then the sides are always easy. It helps cut down on dishes too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohms-what-are-your-best-time-saving-tips#post-1085344 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 12:13:17 +0000 regberadaisy 1085344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH does a lot of housework before he goes to work after dropping us off.<br /> A lot of laundry gets done at night as well.<br /> On the weekends I make a big batch of whatever breakfast so I can freeze the rest.<br /> ETA: we do a lot of one pot meals! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohms-what-are-your-best-time-saving-tips#post-1085338 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 12:10:45 +0000 Boheme 1085338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like every mom, I want to maximize my quality time with my little guy while I'm not at work.
