My Attempt at Being a Domestic Goddess

I am NOT the best housewife.  If I was, I would scrub the floors every week, vacuum every room (even if not used) every other day, dust daily, cook every meal--even breakfast, and do it with a smile and makeup on.  This does not describe me in the least.  I honestly hate cleaning on my best day, but realize it needs to get done.  I do the minimum necessary to survive.  Since I've had Ginny, my attempts have become virtually non-existent.  My focus is on her.

In an attempt to be a better housewife, which I deemed necessary once my lovely husband started voluntarily cleaning around the house (he hates cleaning more than me), I put myself on a schedule of sorts last week.  Before I did the schedule, I would find myself overwhelmed with the things that needed to get done around the house and would usually barely get anything done.  So, I created a schedule for myself with the hopes that it will give me a simple goal and be less overwhelming.  Here it is:

Monday:  Clean bathrooms
Tuesday:  Grocery shopping (NOTE:  No cleaning today unless I "want" to. LOL)
Wednesday:  Dusting
Thursday:  Floors
Friday: Scrub the kitchen
Saturday:  Make up day for any of the above and/or cleaning another needed area

It really seems to be working thus far, granted it is only week 2, but already I have a better attitude and feel as though I'm making some real accomplishments.

My zucchini bread and corn bread for tonight!

Since I have been feeling all proud of myself, I suddenly found myself with the urge to bake.  I've never been huge into baking.  I like it mainly when I am craving something sweet.  Otherwise, I'm okay with not baking.  However, in the last 2 weeks, I have baked (all from scratch) zucchini bread (twice--I'm doing it again today), a carrot cake with homemade cream cheese frosting, and corn bread.

Will wonders ever cease?  I may be on the road to being a domestic goddess after all.  Or maybe not. ;)

The chili I made for dinner tonight.  Notice my cheat?  Crock pot! :)
