Delivery day!!
Life is busy. Like... really busy.
Running a business, being a mum of four - with two of them still preschool age - trying to look after myself better, get to the gym, keep the house running, be a wife, be a mum, be present... and somehow remember to actually eat too.
Some weeks Jamie and I genuinely feel like ships passing in the night.
You get into that routine of wake up, children, work, nursery, appointments, dinner, bedtime, tidy up, prep for tomorrow, sleep... repeat.
And when work is flowing and Tiny Stitch is busy, I'm terrible for getting completely absorbed in what I'm doing and suddenly realising I've barely eaten all day.
So I decided something needed to give.
Not because I wanted to do more, but because I wanted to take one thing off our plates - quite literally!
I started looking for a meal prep company that could make meals for both Jamie and me. Something that would help us stay on track with our health and fitness goals, take away the constant "what are we having for dinner?" conversation and hopefully give us a little bit of our evening back together.
There was just one small complication...
I have three different food allergies, so finding somewhere that could cater for me properly wasn't exactly straightforward!
But I found Elite Eats - and they haven't just managed to accommodate everything, they've given me a proper variety of meals that I'm genuinely excited to try this week.
And LOOK AT THIS DELIVERY!!
Sometimes making life easier doesn't mean becoming more organised or trying harder. Sometimes it's recognising where you can take a bit of pressure off.
Here's to less time cooking, more consistent meals, staying on track - and hopefully a little more time for Jamie and me that doesn't involve one of us asking "have you eaten today?" 😂
I'll report back on my favourites!
