Life with Dudes Never Looked So Pretty
**This is a sponsored post created in partnership with HelloFresh.** I have written about our week night dinner woes in this space for years. Even with 16 years in the mom game under my belt, I still struggle with the putting food on the table element of motherhood. I’m busy, and tired, and uncreative in the kitchen.

If I had to choose one meal to live on for the rest of life, hands down it would be breakfast. I. Love. Breakfast. Just, so much. I am always looking for yummy breakfast ideas to try (and by try I mostly mean convince other people to cook them for me because food is always yummier when you don’t have to make it yourself).

Thank you Ellio’s Pizza for sponsoring this post. Visit your local retailer to pick up your own Ellio’s Pizza for a pizza night in! Weeknights are hard for us. Weekends too. But, especially weeknights. We are exhausted from work and school. We usually have at least three locations to be by 5:30 p.m. and only one person who can drive – me. DudeDad isn’t home
