Back to work. Help.

[PretzelPrincess]

I'm going back to work full time after a number of years as a SAHM. What practical things can I do to make the transition easier? I'm really worried I won't be able to cope DH is reassuring me that he will do more than his fare share and we have 2 children. But I want to be organised so we're not all tired and in a big mess. And tips? Tricks?

Just the boring stuff. Batch cooking at the weekend so you don’t have to think too much about dinners. Meal planning. I used to have the cleaner come on a Friday so I could start the weekend with a clean house.

I'll be honest I'm no domestic goddess. I'm staring at a pile of washing that needs to be done and another that's clean and needs to be folded that's been sitting there for at least three days. This is without a full time job...
