It is my role to make this household tick along nicely and somewhat orderly ....

I like the way you look at this Bron...I don't mind being left with all the housework, especially if I am home alone as there's no one to distract me :)

Your Monday looks rather like my Tuesday except I shall have a 14-month old underfoot!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if you read her blog, but I appreciated Tina's perspective on housework in this post: http://thequiethome.blogspot.com.au/2012/02/treasuring-home.html.
Love some of those ideas - very clever indeed!
I loved those links thanks for sharing them with us. Office work on that great table you made must be a pleasure! I love using the stuff I make when it works right! Have a great week.
