Find Something for Dinner with a New Baby
Submitted by
Kim
Take a walk through the neighborhood and grab takeout or delivery menus from places you like, or, if you don't live within walking distance of any restaurants, drive around and pick up the menus. Try to keep 5 or 10 on hand for times when the idea of cooking is just too horrific.
To make your takeout nights even more convenient, program the phone numbers of your favorite places into your cell phone. Call and place an order just before your partner leaves work, and have him stop and pick up dinner on the way home. We've heard from more than a few dads that such an errand is a nice break between work and home, so everybody wins.
