Have you heard of the “Good Wife’s Guide”? If you haven’t, do a little googling and read it for yourself. You’ll likely be surprised by the “rules” that they used to lay out for women when it comes to taking care of the house. Today, I wanted to reference some of the points they bring up but spin it so that it has a modern take on things. After all, a woman is no longer expected to know her place and stay in the kitchen all day long. Here’s The Good Wife’s Guide: Modernized.
There is a theory that a homemaker’s job is neverending. Even if you get to the bottom of the laundry basket, there will just be new clothes to take its place. Even when you get through all the dishes, new ones will take their place. As it starts to feel like you can never cross everything off your to-do list, finding the joy in homemaking starts to get a little more difficult. Here is how to find the joy in your homemaking.
It seems like everywhere you look on the internet or social media these days, you see all kinds of slime recipes floating around, all unique in their own way. There’s glitter slime, clear slime, magnetic slime—even glow in the dark slime. But my daughter’s favorite to play with this fluffy slime. Not only is it super easy for me to make, but I’ve found fluffy slime to be one of the more low-mess slimes.
Slime is a great sensory “toy” for kids to play with, as well as surprisingly calming. Storing slime is also easy—just make sure whatever container or bag you use is airtight, because when exposed to air, slime tends to dry out and becomes less malleable (AKA harder for your kiddos to play with).
Has your house ever felt like such a disaster that you didn’t even know where to start? The laundry bin is piled high, the sink is full of dishes, and you haven’t even begun to think about starting dinner yet. Sometimes when it comes to homemaking, it’s not that we are incapable, but that we just don’t know where to start. If you are ready to get back into homemaking, or maybe get started for the first time, here is how to begin to take control of your homemaking.
Back to school is right around the corner and my kitchen is full of veggies from the garden still. On hot late summer nights like this, one of the family favorite go-to dinners are quesadillas. They are quick, delicious, and don’t heat up the kitchen. Quesadillas are also easy to customize for each family member. If one doesn’t like onion and the next doesn’t want peppers changes are a snap. I love serving them with sour cream and homemade Pico de Gallo. These are 15 quesadilla recipes you have to try!
These quesadillas are also great for those busy school night. We are always rushing around with sports getting back in full swing and music practices. Quesadillas are great for pre-prepping and making for each person when they actually have time to eat. They are also great for school lunches if your child has access to a microwave to reheat it.
