31 Days Of Housewifery

Yesterday I was reading The 50s Housewife Experiment on Jen But Never Jenn and thought I should replicate it.  Then today I was glancing at Facebook (I am supposed to be avoiding it, but failing miserably) and saw Mama Gab talking about Nesting Place's 31 Day Challenge.  I also realized that my blogging has been a pretty big failure lately.  My house has also been a disaster more often then it should be seeing as how I am home all day, everyday with two well-behaved little girls.

So everything kind of came together at once and I am going to do the challenge!  For 31 days I will do my darnedest to follow the following rules:
  • keep to a housekeeping schedule
  • NOT waste time on the computer or smartphone when I should be cleaning or playing with the girls
  • not harass my husband about his computer gaming time
  • get ready everyday (Lori if you are reading this, maybe I won't be in my pajamas when you drop Hadlee off in the morning!)
Although I have a huge case of nostalgia-itis, I am not putting a 50s twist on this, because I think not using my dishwasher, ironing all my clothes, and wearing skirts/dresses everyday will really undermine how well I do at this.  I also do not want to eat gelatin meals.  


Everyday I will post a quick update on how my challenge is going.  I will try to add links to the new post everyday on this "landing page".

Manipulatives Monday GIVEAWAY from Mother Goose Time - closed

Giveaway closed! Thank you so much to everyone who entered, I really appreciate it! I have excellent news!  Today is Manipulatives Monday, and Mother Goose Time  is giving away a great prize!  One lucky winner will receive TWO bags of manipulatives!  Mother Goose Time will chose the prizes, but I assure you, whatever they send will be a lot of fun for your children! Manipulatives are a big hit in our house.  Every month we get two new bags of manipulatives, and every month Little Guy asks if he can play with them before the month starts.  The answer is always no, but he tries every month anyways.  During the month we use them for the assigned activities but after we are done with the curriculum, I let him add them to his toy collection. One thing that is in almost every box is a set of counters.  These are often in the shape of animals, which are Little Guy's favorites.  They are used for a variety of activities, and are alwa...

Breastfeeding An Adopted Child - The Tenth Day of Christmas

Today we are hearing from Teglene.  Her story is pretty long, but trust me, it is totally worth reading through!  She also has a great blog, called The Breastfeeding Mother . I always knew I wanted to breastfeed my children. I couldn ’t imagine doing it any differently. I was lucky enough to give birth to two beautiful boys and I enjoyed breastfeeding them both. Not that it was easy or without struggle, but it was what I wanted to do and loved doing it. In fact, I liked it so much, and felt so passionate about breastfeeding that I became a La Leche League Leader, so that I could help other breastfeeding moms. I really took to the idea of “Mothering through breastfeeding”. It wasn ’t just a feeding method for me, but a relationship with my child. My husband and I always talked about adopting a child who needed a family. We thought, if we can’t have kids of our own then we will adopt. Even if we can have kids of our own, maybe we will still adopt. After the birt...
