Saturday, May 24, 2025
If you’re anything like me, your calendar probably looks like a chaotic game of Tetris. Between my daughter’s after-school play rehearsals, my son’s sports schedule, my husband's unpredictable work hours, nannying my niece and nephew a few days a week, and our church commitments, the last thing I want to think about at 5:00 p.m. is dinner.
