Paging Dr. Mom with Julie La Barba, MD, FAAP
Stop saying yes to things you really don’t want to do, to make time for the ones that really matter. AKA: How to say “No!” ARRIVAL FALLACY: Is this all there is?

What does it look like to be a good enough wife, mom, doctor, friend? How can we stop saying yes to what we think we SHOULD do based on others expectations and choose to prioritize what’s truly the most imp to us. Have to really look downstream to figure out...

#31 - Solocast: SMART Goals, Time Matters Today Recap
Paging Dr. Mom with Julie La Barba, MD, FAAP
by Dr. Martha Kenney, creator of Time Matters Today We are half-way through 2022, and, I have a quick question for you. Have you achieved your New Year’s resolutions? My guess is that most of you would say "no," because research shows that 80% of people abandon their New Year’s resolutions by the beginning of February. Why? Because although New Year’s resolutions may be the closest that most people will get to planning their goals in life, resolutions are more an expression of desires rather than "true goals." Vaguely stated goals that lack relevance to your values and are...

Paging Dr. Mom with Julie La Barba, MD, FAAP
@thefamilydinnerproject (Harper Collins, 2015) (Familius, 2019). WHY THE FAMILY DINNER PROJECT? Research shows most think eating family dinner is a good idea, but fewer than 1/2 of American families do so. 70% of meals are eaten outside of the home and 20% in the car! The Family Dinner Project is all about the not perfect but “good enough” meal to inspire families to get back to the diner table. Bottom line: studies show regular family dinners reduce high-risk teenage behaviors such as: substance abuse, smoking, eating disorders, behavioral...

Getting food on the family table: a universal pain point!
Amanda Haas is with us today to talk about her Upcoming book: “How To Feed Your Family”
Tips and tricks for working moms to get a family meal on the table and why we should never begin cooking dinner when it’s time to eat!
People imagine they need to make dinner this perfect, precious setting, but Amanda reminds us, gathering around the table is about so much more than the food.
We’re not aiming for perfection, we’re aiming to create moments of gathering with our families, and the meal is our excuse to get everyone there. If you can get the people you love the most around the table, the dishes can wait! Even though it’s tempting to get right into the cleanup, there’s no party killer like getting up to do the dishes while company is still there.
Amanda teaches us which shortcuts are worth it (a freshly roasted rotisserie chicken) and which should be skipped all together (don’t fall for the bottled salad dressing when homemade is cheaper, more delicious & better for you).
The more we plan and the more we grocery shop, the more savvy we get in terms of both time and money.
Simplicity is something we all need in the kitchen…Our kids' expectations are so different from our own!
The simpler and more organized the meal prep, the more of mom’s undivided attention shows up at the table:
the place where kids offer up little pieces of themselves at the end of the day.
If we plan ahead, there’s a greater chance we won’t miss that.
Learn about:
Meal Planning,
Batch Cooking
Generating grocery lists and kitchen tasks for helpers
Valuable tools for working women to spend less time alone in the kitchen, and more time around the table with family.
Tips for Planning ahead:
- Once a week, sit down and identify when you’ll be eating at home and any other meals/snacks you need to prepare, then make a chart that has a spot for every meal you’ll be eating at home.
- Start to select the recipes you want to make for the week, scheduling time for the ones that might take longer to cook or can be used in multiple meals up front, e.g. roasted chicken, something slow-cooked, etc.
- Fill in your chart. Assess if you have a good balance of meals/ingredients and ample time to cook them. Also, are some items too pricey? Reevaluate and make changes if necessary.
- Make your shopping list by department/aisle. SHOP!
- Get rid of any unused food from the week before, unload groceries, and pick 1-2 easy things to prep to help you get ahead for the week!
