What are some of your "thinking outside the box" ideas to make Pesach cleaning easier ?

For example, I cram a LOT of stuff in the dishwasher like fridge shelves.

I'm not pumping enough for my baby while I'm at work. I use a double electruic PISA pump but usually pump once while I'm gone, from 9-3, Problem is that I usually feed my dd at like 7, and then she needs 2 4 oz. bottles @ the babysitter , but I pump about 6 oz.
Do I try to add to my cukoo schedule & pump in the morning when I'm getting everyone out the door? Can I give a little solids only at the babysitter and EBF at home? I really dont want to give formula...

Wow, I can't believe people even consider luxuries they can't afford. If you owe someone money, don't you even have a halachic responsibilty to pay it back before spending elsewhere? You're not talking paying back credit cards vs. buying food or paying utility bills.

What did kids do before camp? Go back to the basics and get out of debt. If you are considering such a luxury as a necessity then I assume you're spending a lot of money elsewhere that you think your kids also really need like matching outfits or expensive dinners or pizzas or whatever. I would go over your budget and see where you can skim to maybe afford a few extras for the summer so the kids won't miss camp.

the OP asked a sincere question and everyone else here was able to respond nicely and civilly but you have to go and make all sorts of assumtions about her without even knowing anything.

FYI- credit card companies are not gemachs. They make tons of money from pple who pay their debt out slowly. There is nothing irresponsible about that. The OP said she would like to pay it much faster. she never said she wasnt going to pay. There is no halacha that says when you have to pay off debt so dont make things up.

and to the OP- I think you should pay the credit cards and forego camp this year as well. Youll be alot less stressed the rest of the year.

I like this idea, personally. you can make it a runny chip cookie by sticking it in the oven five minutes before serving so the cookie is soft and chocolate chips are runny. Don't overbake to begin with. After you top with ice cream you can put chocolate syrup on top (a little) to make it look fancier.

You've reminded me of a great idea I saw recently! Put a layer of chocolate chip cookie dough in a muffin cup, top with a spoonful of liquid marble, then top with another layer of chocolate chip cookie dough. The liquid marble stays liquidy for a "runny chocolate" center.

As was said before, don't overbake, then reheat just before serving with a scoop of ice cream.

This looks and tastes fabulous. And it's not such a terrible patchka. Especially since it can be prepared in advance.

what is liquid marble?

I'm just curious. Why can't she go a week without soy or rice milk? Can't she drink water or juice? I'm not trying to judge, but it wouldn't occur to me to give soy or rice to my 18 month old on pesach.

I was told only to give water if she drank 18 ounces of formula already

Unless there is a feeding/growth issue, a 16 month old should not need any formula. Formula is given until 12 months, then change to 16-20 ounces of milk daily, and the rest water. After one year most of the nutrition should come from a regular diet (ie fruits, veges, chicken, fish, etc--whatever you are eating)

if your doctor told you otherwise, check with him for the reason.

I mentioned it in other threads, she is underweight, failure to thrive, and allergic to milk so changing to milk isn't an option. she doesn't eat enough solids yet to be able to get her off formula. B"H she is upping her solids lately but every day is different, I only give her the bottle after she finished the meal.

Courgette sticks, carrot sticks, broccoli florets--I'd steam or boil them briefly so they're not too hard but still a bit of crunch left. You can make dips (mayo, mayo+ketchup)--my kids liked dipping things.

I found pesach noodles to go quite mushy so it can be a messy choice.

Cottage cheese, eggs are VERY filling. You can also make salmon or tuna patties either from fresh salmon or tinned fish--mix with an egg, matzo meal (or mashed potato), shape into small patties and pan-fry.

Baked sweeet potatoes in jacket are also popular with kids. No need to add sugar as they're naturally sweet. You can add a bit of orange juice or sprinkle cinnamon.

I always stop at a year, pregnant or not. I'm not a good pumper and it's too stressful for me to go beyond that. Nothing to do with pregnancy.

I actually restarted pumping during pregnancy this time for someone who benefited from the milk, but it was so much less stressful because I didn't have to.

So you should never assume my pregnancy status because of that!

Lol, I didn't figure out your status then. Just now it makes more sense to me.

I'm saying it has nothing at all to do with it. Maybe it makes sense to you, but it shouldn't even affect the logic whatsoever, because I really have no interest in pumping any longer than I have to. I pumped for a year for all my children, despite being at different stages personally, and that's my plan to do for any children I need to pump for. Nursing I continue as long as possible...but pumping I can't bring myself to do more than necessary.
