Couch looks awesome! I totally feel you on the coming up with meals for the kids. I’ve done so many searches for “easy meals for kids” etc etc and every post titled “things every kid will love” is full of items my kids won’t try. Ugh. I feel guilty not providing enough variety in their diet but it’s just too demoralizing to put effort into cooking things, for them to just push it off their plate without a second glance.

Same same same! It’s SO demoralizing. Perfect word for it. And it happens EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

I swear no one tells you that the middle-of-the-night wake-ups NEVER END! My 7-year-old has been on a streak of 4 a.m. issues that result with me sleeping for an hour or more in his twin bed.

And solidarity on trying to feed picky eaters. It's so hard and unless you have a truly picky eater no one understands!
