Sunday funday, managing emails and our favourite beers

It’s hostful time again and the questions Brooke and Ben answer today are, as always, complete crackers.

Do you have any tips on managing email and the impact it’s having on my life, both personal and professional?
How can I deal with kids clothes? We’re constantly receiving hand-me-downs and the sheer volume is making things difficult. Any tips on keeping it manageable?
Has there ever been a point in the beginning of your journey where you felt stuck? Perhaps lost momentum? I'm feeling a little frustrated at the moment, but I'm a long way away from where I've come. What can I do to move past this?
Do you meal plan for lunches and breakfasts as well as dinners? How does this work?
What's your favorite choice of beer?!
And what do you like to throw on the grill?!
I'm trying to slow things down here and implement "Sunday Fun days" at my house. Would love to hear your take on slow, fun days at home.

As you can see, a varied offering of questions and lots of fun was had in the answering. You can head over to http://www.slowyourhome.com/155 for all the details from today’s show plus the recipe for Brooke’s black bean and sweet potato patties.
