    Everything from packing lunches to morning beauty routines? I pack our lunches the night before. I also have coffee ready to go for morning.:coffee:
  2. Coupons
    I'm returning to couponing after about 20+ years. (My 21 year old daughter got me back into it :hugz:). Things have really changed, but some things remain the same: I've tried a few methods, and find that my old method of using a recipe index-card box is the best way for me. I am sitting...
  3. Home Environment
    Regardless of whether or not you have a cleaning schedule (ie cleaning certain rooms on certain days), do you have a housekeeping routine? I tried to go back to scheduling tasks, but was never getting to the things I had scheduled. The house was chaos all the time, I never knew what I was...
  4. WOTHM
    Ever since I switched from working in the banking industry, the husband switching to seconds, and adding the Moo Cow to the family, I have been feeling really overwhelmed. At the bank, due to working at least one Saturday a month, I always had at least one half day off during the week and I'd...

    For those of you who have had a two year old...I have a few questions. I am a SAHM of two daughters--ages 4-3/4 and 28 months. DD2 used to be hard to put to bed, but recently it has got a lot easier. What I do is giver her a bedtime snack, give her a bath (if it's bath night), change her...

    Today I was at the mall and one of those kiosk salespeople tried to get me to buy some skin care stuff for $260! I did not buy it. But I did start wondering if I should be doing some type of skin care. I'm 51, I have kinda oily skin, and all I've ever done is the good ol'soap and water...

    Nothing super exciting planned for today. I've been enjoying taking life back down to the routine, at least mostly anyway. I didn't even get to the grocery yesterday. I just didn't feel like it when I got off work. Instead I went straight home and stole an hour for myself with a book. Reading in...
  8. Stay at home moms
    :yucky: I am having the hardest time this year. I have one who was in school, and during the school year, we had a routine in the morning to get him out the door. Then my youngest and I had a little bit of a routine during the day. I'm not a huge "schedule" person, so it was a loose routine...
  9. Home Environment
    Or do you have one or just clean whenever? I always keep up with laundry so that means about every other day. How often do you clean your bathroom, kitchen, mop and dust and all that fun stuff? Do you have certain days or times or schedules? The reason I am asking is because my one year old...
  10. Just Tips
    I never realized knew that you should call the gas company every few years and request that they come out and do routine maintenance on your gas meter! We noticed this winter that our gas usage was way higher than it had been in previous years, but I didn't think too much of it and we tried to...
  11. Family
    We eat most suppers at home. We always light candles (we leave the other lights on most of the time) and hold hands to say grace. Isabel has to try a tiny bit of everything but she can choose if she wants more of anything. She has to stay in her seat until Philip and I are finished. Philip...

    Saturday mornings, my DH eating breakfast at the other end of the table, a diet coke, and a bunch of coupons just crying out to be set free, and a blank menu planner. Do you have a routine for cutting your coupons/menu planning?
  13. Simple Living
    I hope you all don't mind me jumping in here. What has been bothering me is my dh work schedule. Well, now I feel we are at a place where he doesn't need to work O.T., yet feel like the company expects him to put it in. or else your slacking off...kwim? Dh would love to work 40hrs... how can I...

    I was thinking about this as I made my bed at lunch time..... I usually make my bed early, run through the house, straighten things up if I didn't do it the night before, start the laundry, maybe talk on the phone for a few minutes and then have my shower in the mornings. This morning I had to...
  16. Lifestyle Articles
    Sometimes life becomes so routine, we don't have to think about a thing we're doing throughout the day. We're programmed to run on automatic. It's important to shake things up every once in a while to get the creative juices flowing, give us an added boost of energy or give us something to...
  17. Health and beauty
    I was wondering how much time you all spend each morning, showering, doing your hair, makeup etc....I feel like it takes me forever just to shower, do my hair and dress, and I don't do the makeup thingy.....Anyone?????????
  18. General Chat
    I'm new to all this and I'm still trying to work out how to fill my days more productively. Do you have a routine that works for you? Also, how many of you make you own soaps, shampoos and cleaning products? How important is it to you that you use only natural products in your home? I'm keen...

    Besides the actual workouts we do, what are the ways you 'sneak' exercise in? I'll go first :D 1) First thing in the morning is started off with some major stretching because I'm usually really sore in my arms/legs or back. I do prayer pose, good mornings, and childs pose...i'll also put my...
