Why Freezer Cooking Works For Me: April

I am the mom of a 3-year-old and 1-year-old twins, and an 11-year-old fluffy dog. Needless to say, my life is BUSY.

My babies tend to be needy, and especially so between 5-6 pm. And when they aren't begging to be held, they are tearing the house apart.

My husband is an attorney. He luckily has regular hours of 8:30 am-6:30 pm. But once a month or so, he is out of town. Or has two weeks of CRAZY.

Usually, this tends to be an unfortunate reality.

To add to our busy and crazy life, we add PROJECTS. We bought our first home one year ago. A fixer upper at that. Because not only do we have unpack everything, and attempt to keep it safe an organized in the wake of Hurricane Babies, but we also have our work cut out for us in renovation. The major projects this year were the yard (a sprinkler system, lawn, fence tear-out, garden, bush/tree  trimming, etc.) and the kitchen (tear-out, tile, new cabinets, counters, backsplash, sink, etc.).

And we have many more projects to go.

But my favorite thing about freezer club are the FRIENDS. I crave adult interaction,  and with all my busy craziness, I don't tend to have a lot of girlfriend time. I am an extremely extroverted person, and basically just live to survive between social interactions. As much as I love being with my children, I know I need adult time, too. The best part about our freezer club is that we do it together.

Freezer cooking is most of the reason we don't survive on fast food and cold cereal. We get real food almost every day. And even during Project: Kitchen, we managed to sustain a diet of crockpot meals, thanks to our Crockpot Chalkenge.

Thanks to our freezer club, my crazy, busy, project-filled life can stay relatively calm. At the very least, we always have something to eat.
