Living with more than one children is a world of its own. You are looking to squeeze every penny out of each dollar while operating with the highest efficiency possible. And, let’s be honest, if that is you, you’re proud of it. I mean, deep down inside things are insane, but you are excited when you save money for the family… or even better, save time running around.
Here is very possibly one day in your life: Each child wakes up with a different need. Because of course, when you are a child, you do not wake up to be productive but rather for the bathroom, to eat something, you were coughing, or someone woke you up. The potentials are endless and the solution – meet mom or dad.
Now once the initial needs are met, it is time to prepare this group of children for the day ahead. Depending on the age of the child they will either be heading to school or will need entertaining at home via homeschooling methods (another way of saying that the parent at home is fully responsible for all activities for the foreseeable future). And if you do not have a plan for the day, you had better make one quick because you have multiple willing schedulers that might add dessert for breakfast to your agenda!
We will choose to skip the middle of the day which could include attempting to shop at a grocery store or walking across a street to go to a local park. Yikes!
Now bedtime – a comedian once called it a hostage situation in reverse as he stated: “I’ll give you anything! Just go to sleep!” For most tired parents, this is not an ideal time of day.
Then mom/dad ends their day and enjoys the luxury of silence 😊. They open their phone, kiss their spouse, drink a glass of wine while they detox… and hope no one wakes up for pee-pee or needing a drink.
We have been there. Lived as one of the children and raised multiple children ourselves (and survived). Children are the primary reason we started The Garden Shed and are still running it today. Early on, we wanted to create an opportunity for our children to get work experience while spending time with them. Today, they are all grown up starting families of their own, and our mission has shifted. As we remembered back to packing up the kids for a grocery store run, it hit us people must still hate that experience. Delivery seemed like a family health saver!
When fruit and veggies go bad so quickly, it is easy to choose the less healthy options when a weekly grocery store run is the alternative. We want to provide healthy food options to families around Yamhill county directly to their front door… without a delivery charge! We hand pick each box and will work with you weekly to make sure your needs are met.
