One of the common nightmares business moms face is the conflict between business and family, particularly when it comes to answering the age-old question – “Mom, what’s for dinner?”
Too often the answer is a last second trip through the fast food take out line! The outcome is a bad case of “guilty mommy” because you are unable to provide healthy family meals on a regular basis. There’s the purchasing, preparing,clean up and before you know it, it’s time to start all over on the next meal.
Odds are as a “biz mom” you could be losing around $54k a year of income generating time agonizing over how and what to feed your hungry hoard without losing touch with your business. The thing most working moms fail to see is the fact that working from home is too demanding without easy meal plans.
You will be amazed at how much more time you’ll have for your business once you coordinate dinner ideas. You can also throw away the family vs business guilt! Here’s a meal planning SMARTcut® :
- sketch out your favorite easy family menus
- use a flexible system to change your menu planning for variety
- develop a master grocery list to trim down shopping time (maybe to as little as one hour a month!)
There are a number of benefits to menu planning. The first is that you will never suffer through”I don’t know” for dinner again. Having your own list of healthy family meals will allow you to put simple meals on the table in 15 minutes or less. Your family will be in awe and pleased with your ability to prepare simply delicious meals.
(Don’t tell anyone how easy it has become!)
Adjustable meal planning also means you can change out one meal for another if you have unexpected company or decide to go out for dinner as a family. Don’t kid yourself, life is always in flux for the busy mom!
You could even prepare a cookbook compiling favorite family meals. This is a great technique for teaching your young ones simple meals recipes and getting them started on planning and preparing them.
Creating your reusable dinner menu system will involve a few hours up front. But wouldn’t it be worth a few hours one day to streamline this repetitive task and save you hours every week for your own use?
As you get quick simple meals set up and in progress, you’ll find you love the concept of a system that makes family meals easy to plan ahead or, rather, plan once, then keep repeating. What a great time saver!
