Give In and Take Out
You're running late, haven't made it to the store, or are just dog tired. Fortunately, the Birmingham area has an abundance of possibilities for family-size take out that allow you to dine at your own kitchen table and spend time together over a quality meal without any planning, marketing, or preparation on your part.
Use BirminghamMom.com's list to phone in your order during your commute or before you leave the office (if your phone is web-enabled, you may click on the highlighted phone number to dial the restaurant directly). Your dinner can be ready and waiting for pick-up on your drive home.
If your kids are older, you may prefer to have them call in the order so you can just swing by and pick it up on the way home. Better yet, have your husband bookmark this page and let him handle dinner.
