I think some of it is inevitable, and I would rather spend time in the kitchen than spend time in the Doctor's office. Maybe it would help to assign each child a night to assist you? That way it's just one child so it's more manageable. I know a mom of 10 who does this. One kid in the kitchen at a time. I understand, it really is a job isn’t it?

THREE HOURS. And this is without the children's help (which makes things go slower) and the newborn that's due this week (which will keep me from accomplishing tasks in record time)! I can't keep this up and dh and I are firm believers in healthy, home cooked food... What to do? I want to teach the kids but the amount of time spent in the kitchen already, is ridiculous. Any thoughts? I am right there with you Carrie — I just find it hard to implement right now. :(
