Life before our new baby Jack was hectic already with constant travel and now it's a new level of hectic … but we couldn't be happier about it and the joy he brings to our lives. Everyone told us to get ready for a big change but how is it possible that we barely have time to get out of the house for groceries? So now, more than ever, I can appreciate services that save us time, make life easier and help us stay healthy, all while enjoying time together with a home-cooked meal.

I recently came across Blue Apron, the delivery service that sends you farm-fresh ingredients in the exact proportions you need to make a meal. How genius. One thing we can't stand is wasting food but with Blue Apron, you only get the amount you need to make the meal. Even when Natalie and I are able to travel more, we are home for such a short amount of time, it's hard to keep perishable ingredients fresh in the refrigerator. This service definitely seems worth it and here's why.
Benefits of Blue Apron

You can save time by not having to make that extra trip out to the grocery store; farm-fresh ingredients are delivered right to your doorstep. This leaves us with more time to enjoy time with Jack and also gives us more quality time together, as a couple.
