The kids are in school and the rush of the holidays is fast approaching. You may not have the little ones underfoot all day, but it’s likely that your job just got busier—driving everyone from school to piano lessons to soccer practice and home. And don’t forget homework (how could you forget?). But don’t fret! We’ve picked out some great local businesses with services that can help moms and dads get done what needs to be done so that these busy months are easier on the whole family!

What’s for Dinner?

The dinner hour is probably the most stressful hour for parents. Picky kid palates and rushed prep time make us resort to pizza or chicken nuggets more than we’d like to admit. Take the stress out of dinner prep with Dream Dinners. Head to one of their four Bay Area locations (bring a friend or two for more fun!) and spend some time prepping up to 12 meals for your family. You follow the easy prep instructions (leaving out any ingredients that might not work for your family) and take your prepped meals home to cook on one of your busy days. Dream Dinners even offers sides that you can purchase to go with your meals. Don’t have time to do the prep yourself? Dream Dinners will do the prep for you for an additional fee.
