#ad It doesn’t always come naturally to ask for help, but stressful feelings can sometimes come from the idea that if we don’t do it ourselves, then it won’t get done (/right). Sometimes being able to open up to the idea that things can happen in ways other than we originally imagined (ie. spending family time over a home-cooked meal that took time that you didn’t have to make vs. spending family time over a meal that was brought to your home), can be really freeing. When Josh and I are feeling overwhelmed with our to-do list for the day, we start to look for things we can cut out in order to make it easier and have a better day overall. @bitesquad gives us a chance to delegate our meals to someone else while we worry about spending more time with the kids, or finishing up work projects for the day. I love knowing that even time escapes me, I still have great options like @bitesquad right at my fingertips. Why not give it a try this week and let me know what you thought!
