I have three age...ugh. we're sort of there now. I have three ages 3 and under! the youngest is 3 mos old. As i sit here (instead of cleaning something) they are all actually asleep for naptime at the SAME time! amazing. but i have a mountain of dishes (no dishwasher) and a pile of laundry (including cloth diapers) to fold. so...what's a girl to do? Those two are on my husbands' list. Which means the kids and i will be doing preschool by counting the clothes as we fold and put 'em away and washing dishes together! lolGenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04103526411945806871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173567909624774356.post-75491095743549957192010-03-15T14:33:14.171-06:002010-03-15T14:33:14.171-06:00Such good advice!

It was one of the things he needed to feel like I was on top of things and that he was getting his needs met. <br /><br />The best part of all the advice above, ask your husband what he needs. Getting a few things done for him each day will go a long way in your marriage and the tone in your home. =)Amber@ClassicHousewifehttp://www.classichousewife.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173567909624774356.post-26002239368872448432010-03-15T09:12:54.709-06:002010-03-15T09:12:54.709-06:00I agree with anonymous about the food and clothing...I agree with anonymous about the food and clothing. If I can empty the dishwasher and washer/dryer by the end of a busy day (clothes put away are a bonus!) I'm feeling pretty good. I also try to have healthy, easy-to-grab foods in case dinner has to be quick. (Bananas, fruit, low-sugar cereal, cheese sticks, peanut butter crackers, etc.)Mindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16455377899571720111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173567909624774356.post-2424161084532301572010-03-15T07:12:53.562-06:002010-03-15T07:12:53.562-06:00I aim to feed and clothe during my weary times. T...I aim to feed and clothe during my weary times. Those are my basic necessities. <br /><br />I also made a list a few years ago of 5 things that I can do before my hubby gets home that communicate love to him. Whenever I have an opportunity, I try to do those 5 tasks ( or a combination of the 5) knowing that he will notice. It was funny to me to find out that some of the tasks that I poured over all day long weren't in his list of 5, but little things like clean socks/underwear, toilet paper on the roll, happy kids, a cleaned off bathroom countertop, and the promise of dinner rounded out his list. Not a single mention of spotless floors or a perfectly organized linen closet. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
