"I'm going to be a stay at home wife and get soooo much done"....that's what you tell yourself, then you realize you have been surfing the Internet all day listening to Amy Poehler audiobooks and eating endless boxes of Mac & Cheese.
Here are a lazy housewife's tips on how to pretend you get shit done instead of marathonning Netflix and Pinterest all day:
1. Make a cleaning schedule, not all things in one day, but rather one small thing a day to make you feel like a champion. Mine is as follows:
Monday- Strip the sheets, tidy bedroom and master bath
Tuesday- Other Bathrooms
Wednesday- Kitchen
Thursday- Vacuum/mop, laundry
Friday- tidy living room
2. Become the master of making meals with lots of wow and little prep. Things that can be thrown together in 10 to 20 minutes but make you jealous of your own skills. Crockpots and the high setting on the stove are my best friends.
3. Learn the art of piling. You can have a a lot of crap, but it you stack it all nice like, it doesn't look like it.
4. Always be doing dishes as your housmates come home, it makes it look like "wow, its been such a busy day, I am just finishing my chores"
5. Candles, candles, candles! or roomspray... If a place smells nice it automatically seems nicer.
6. Last but not least, my mothers advice, no matter how dirty the house if you make a bed and drag a vacuum over the carpet(even if its not running, just the lines cause an effect) it automatically seems cleaner.
So there you go...how to be lazy and still seem busy. I try not to do this too often, but lets face it, shit happens and sometimes you need a quick save.
