Oh March Break… You’re only a week long but I have so many feelings about you. In the past, we would typically go away over March Break (usually on a ski trip). This year, we decided to stay home and have a little staycation.<\/p>\n

On one hand, I was happy because it would mean we could take it easy. On the other, what I had imagined was very different from our reality. I thought we\u2019d have plenty of sleep-ins, brunch, and lots of happily lounging around the house. In reality, March Break was pretty nuts! The house could have easily been mistaken as the after effect of a tornado, John was away for work a few nights, the screen was on longer than I like to admit, and the boys still had a relatively busy schedule.<\/p>\n

Each day by late afternoon, I couldn\u2019t even think about what I would make for dinner, let alone have the energy to cook something. I was so desperate that I even invited us over to my brother\u2019s house for dinner one night (and he has 5 kids, just so you understand how bad it got).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I finally decided to let go of the stress and guilt, and ordered dinner in from SkiptheDishes, which has a HUGE selection of restaurants (over 15,000!). Because we couldn\u2019t get away this break, I decided to maintain a vacation tradition and let each of the kids select their favourite foods for dinner. Kyle got burgers from A&W, Ryan got a sub from Mr Sub, Nathan got a hot dog from Harvey\u2019s and I got a bowl from Freshii.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Placing the order was easy, quick and freed up my time to do something else (like relax with a glass of wine). We were able to order multiple meals from different restaurants without any confusion. We could track our order status and it arrived looking absolutely delicious! The app is so easy to use so we usually order in on a weekly basis. I just can’t fathom (mentally or physically) cooking every meal. Cooking sometimes feels daunting to me, so whenever I can, I like to outsource my house chores, dinner included!\u00a0I\u2019m so grateful for SkiptheDishes, as it helped make our March break #SkipStaycation that much more\u00a0exciting. <\/span><\/p>\n

And be sure to stop by my Instagram post <\/span>here<\/a><\/span> to enter for a chance to win a $200 voucher to SkiptheDishes \u2013 contest ends on March 24, 2019\u00a0at 11:59 p.m. EST.<\/span><\/p>\n
