Snippets of time

I'm quickly learning that getting anything done around the house when you have a newborn requires quick time management skills and the ability to multi-task. You learn to cook yourself some food while the baby is playing quietly in her bouncy chair and you learn to do a load of laundry while she's lying in the bassinet. You don't really get anything done that takes longer than a few minutes because at this point, that's often the only amount of "free time" she will allow before she starts crying or fussing.
