    You might also pick up a copy of Help, My Apartment Has a Kitchen! for her. It's got a lot of easy and good recipes that will help. Husband has a copy, and it helped him a LOT when he first went to college. Now, he loves to cook and is honestly a MUCH better cook than I am!

    Lots of great tips in here.
    I'll emphasize one more on a sympathetic note. As a full time working mom who is equally busy, its easy to start to feel the guilt. When we've spent a whole day away from our littles, we want to be able to dedicate time to them and not use yet another daycare or leave them to their own while we have to do more work- cooking cleaning etc. So like some others here, I try to double down on exercise with my kids. Dance parties with the ipod blaring. Your baby isn't crawling yet. You could lay him down and do pushups and kiss his little nose each time you lower. Invest in a decent stroller or baby carrier. I'm an avid babywearer and hike with my little dude all over the place.

    But after all that, let go of the mom guilt you may feel every now and then and treat yourself to some time. The money you save on prepared meals could earn you a babysitter for the night. Use it and treat yourself to a few hours out. You'll be amazed at how this little recharge will make you feel more energetic for the other 29 days of the month.
