Having a personal chef

I live in the best neighborhood ever! When someone has a baby one person from our street will get everyone together and plan a week of dinners for the new parents. It is the nicest thing to have someone else cook dinner for you, you now have an extra body in the house you have to take care of and the transition from the hospital to home is not always easy. You have had everything done for you for a few days and you have had help with the baby, well now you are back to the real life and the last thing that should be on your mind is having to cook dinner. If you don’t have a neighborhood program set up maybe start it yourself, so when it is your turn everyone will want to help you with your dinner for the week. It is truly exciting as well, you never know what you are going to get and it will be food you haven’t had before. If you do not have neighbors or family members who are willing to cook for you, than make as many dinners as your freezer will hold and put the directions on each item so even your husband and make dinner, or order a pizza it is easy, cheap and you can always eat it for lunch the next day. It is so important to bond with your baby his first few weeks home, don’t let cooking or chores get in the way
