Housekeeping

Okay is it just me  or does house work and laundry never get done!! Im dreading going back to work with 3 kids and working evenings...

Just wondering if you girls have any helpful tips we can share on household tasks, babies,etc..


Here's one...Cleaning the microwave--place a bowl of water with lemon slices in it, in the  microwave  nuk it for 5 mins the guck comes off so easy  and smells fresh.

Perfect solution Cinn. - make your husband do it!LOL  My dh does all the laundry (washing/drying/folding/distribution)has since we moved in together)-all the yard work-all the ironing-cooking on his days off, the children do the garbage, dishes, their rooms and litter box, I do the rest which really isn't much - vacuuming, dusting, washing floors, windows, and just general upkeep.

Didn't know about the microwave thing and I am going to try it.  My son and his pizza pop goop drive me crazy

Try this for crayon on your walls, use toothpaste.  It works like a dream - also good for polishing your wedding rings
Put eggshells in you garden to keep snails away
Put cayan pepper in flower beds to keep pesking cats at bay
Wax your floor 3 times in one day to keep the kids from running through rooms.  LMAO.  Did that once and everyone but me crashed coming around the corner. DH was NOT impressed with me, especially when he fell.  I am laughing out loud right now just remembering this it looked so flippin funny.  Actually am having a hard time stopping laughing, I only did it that once!

Not that my dh wont but I swear he does a half ass job just so I say okay get out of here Ill do it myself.

Put a load of clothes in the washer before you go to bed.  Put it in the dryer before you leave for work.  That way, they will be ready to fold when you get back, and you can put a new load in.

If dh did my laundry, I'd have nothing to wear. Men put everything in the dryer! 100% cotton, doesn't matter, throw it in the dryer. I'll do my own laundry, thank you.

i am frustrated because i have to saty off my feet  - teh housework is piling up!  (last sat I paid my son 5$ to clean toilets and wash floor  (of course the floor did not look washed))  it is frustrtating.  My best tip is NOT for those of you (like me)  in first trimester - but normally I spray that shower cleaner like crazy after every shower - that makes my weekly stall cleaning a snap!
