Your home can be a sanctuary — it’s just a matter of setting it up for the way you interact with your space. Here are some helpful hints on how to fashion your home for the way you’d like to live:
You shouldn’t cut corners when it comes to your nutrition. But when it comes to preparing meals, there are tons of shortcuts you can take to save time, and more importantly, your energy. Here are some helpful and healthy mealtime energy savers:
Make large, special meals a family affair. Kids love to mix, mash, and microwave. So do friends and loved ones. Don’t be afraid to put them all to work!
Take a seat before, during, and after you eat. A tall chair or stool with wheels can help you save time and energy while preparing — and cleaning up after meals.
Use foods that require minimal preparation such as pre-cut or frozen vegetables, bagged salads, shredded cheese, sliced olives, and minced garlic.
Prepare double batches. Try to make more than you will eat in one meal and store or freeze the rest for another meal.
Make anything you can the day before, like desserts, soups, and dips
Establish a "Home Base" Have one place in your house where you gather and store the day’s information. This will be where you check back to if you lose track of something. If your home base includes a desk, keep it clear of clutter. If it includes a computer, keep files in their appropriate folders.
Rocker Panel Light Switches Replace your standard light switches with rocker panels. These can be turned off easily with an arm, elbow, or palm of the hand. It also makes it easy to flicker the lights to get your kids’ attention.
