Parental Wisdom:
If you’re a new parent or about to be a new parent, here are things that nobody tells you that you NEED to know.
1. Invest in batteries!! Every toy, gadget or gizmo needs a AA battery. Trust!
2. Invest in a sock company! Because
a. You will only be able to find one sock for each set.
b. If you can find 2 matching socks, 1 will have a hole in it.
c. Dogs love to chew socks. (see b for proof)
3. Invest in Oxy-clean and always have a back up bottle.
4. (freebie – consider xanax now)
5. For the child’s first 4 years, you will not be able to use the bathroom in privacy.
6. Each child will like different foods and request different foods for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
7. If on the off chance that both children like the same food, they will no longer like it if
a. They find out you like it
b. They find out it’s good for them
8. About age 5 they will begin staking their claim “I call…” on various items, such as:
a. a certain sausage, hamburger, chicken breast, biscuit, etc
b. front seat (two days before we leave)
c. downstairs shower, upstairs shower, etc
d. walking the dog first/last
You’ve been warned!
- simple
- easy to throw together
- healthy
- low fat
- very little to clean afterward

| Shrimp and Veggie Foil Pack Dinner |
Hi Paula,
I don't know what I'd do without aluminum foil when I cooked. I often use it to cook salmon and veggies. Never thought of trying shrimp! Enjoy your SITS day!
This looks like a wonderful meal. You are so right about the socks. We seem to have one of many pairs of them
Happy SITS day! I am loving your blog. I am definitely subscribing via RSS and G+. Love that you live in MS…I live in NC, but my husband is a Mississippi boy and his family still lives in Clinton.
This looks delicious and so easy too. Am totally pinning to try and Happy SITS Day again. Happily following you now!!
Happy SITS Day! I'm a neighbor next door in Louisiana, and I cannot wait to try out this recipe! Love good recipes…
This looks amazing. And, funny story, my 5 year old is obsessed with shrimp! It's still one of the only things we can get him to eat when we are out to eat. So hopefully this will become a new family favorite.
Ps! Have a great SITS day!!!
“Invest in a sock company.” Amen! lol. That was definitely something they failed to mention in those parenting books. Where in the world do those things go? Anyway, congrats on the SITS day! Oh, and I'll be stealing that shrimp and veggie foil pack recipe. lol. Enjoy your day.
This looks delicious, Paula! You used some of my favorite veggies!
Happy SITS Day!
have a geat sits day!
Congratulations on your SITS day. I hope it's a great day for you.
And, oh, how correct you are on the parental advice.
I love anything cooked in a foil packet! Genius! Happy Sits Day!
Congratulations on being featured blogger for SITS. I loved the tips you gave. Hilarious and oh so true. I think you hit many nails straight on. Hope you have a blessed day!
Have a fabulous SITS day!
Oh, that list is perfect! The foil packet looks pretty darn yummy too
Enjoy your SITS day!
This recipe looks like it will be a winner with my family! Yum!
Congrats on your SITS day!
Don't even get me started on the sock thing. It stresses me out just thinking about the daily shouts of “Mom, I don't have any socks!” or “Mom, do they HAVE to match?” Mercy. lol
Love, love, LOVE your blog. I'm visiting from SITS and will certainly be back!
YUMMY! Headed over from SITS! I have not cooked shrimp like this in a while, after seeing your photos I'm craving it! I will need to pick some up this week!
I had to laugh at your list. So true! Batteries — check! Privacy in the bathroom… what's that???
Happy SITS day!
This looks delicious and it's making me hungry!
You have so many recipes here, I'm gonna check them out. Preparing meals for my 3 fussy eaters gives me a real headache sometimes.
Happy SITS Day!
Mmmm! I dont eat shrimp anymore but I love it!
Have a great SITS Day!
This sounds easy, delicious and fast! Thanks for sharing! I haven't been a “new” parent in a while, though would add approach anything that says the dreaded words “Some Assembly Required” with extreme caution or a degree from MIT! Have a fabulous week!
Happy SITS Day! Thanks for following me via social media. Off to do the same xxoo
Love this idea, Paula! Great blog! Congrats on your SITS Day!
This sounds fabulous!! Can't wait to try it!!
Happy SITS day! I love the foil pack idea–we always used to do that when we went camping and the kids really enjoyed it. Good way for portion control when you are trying to watch your calories, too!
Congratulations on being featured
Only 4 years… you are lucky. My kids are 8 and 10 and I'm still waiting for privacy in the bathroom!
This looks easy, but I'd have to sub out shrimp…only one of the 3 of us eats it and I'm not the “one!”
I simply love this! I have been making the same old tired shrimp recipes for years! I am going to try it out this week…. Yeah!
Uhm, that sounds awesome and easy enough for me to make (quite a feat). Thanks for this and happy happy SITS day! You have a great blog here
Foil pack dinners are very popular in South-Africa, but I not yet seen a recipe using shrimp, which I love! Pinned
The batteries had me think back to when my son was around two years old, he kept saying {always in the store} he wants “budgies” and for weeks we could not figure that one out – until he showed my Mom the batteries! Thank you for sharing another great recipe at the ALL MY BLOGGY FRIENDS party 
This looks delicious and easy! A great Idea for my lunch since I am a work at home mom. Thanks for sharing! I pinned it for later and would love for you to link this up at my linky party Thursday at http://www.juliakendrick.com! I hope to see you there!
I absolutely LOVE the look of this. So tasty!
