A Young Wife’s Tale

Homemaking Tip for this week:
I don’t know if this helps other women, but I make deals with myself. I’ll find a girly movie I want to watch, and then I can only watch it while I’m ironing. Or I can have a piece of cake after I clean the shower. Sometimes if I’m in the middle of a good book, I’ll read a chapter, clean a bathroom, read a chapter, and vacuum a room.

The weather in my neck of the woods:
70 degrees and sunny. Perfect. And really pleasant for David’s arthritic joints!

One of my simple pleasures:
Stovetop popcorn and Diet Coke

On my bedside table:
A magazine that I got for free and my laptop.
