How to fool your husband to think that you've been working hard all day long.

I have actually been meaning to post about this for a while but when I was chatting with one of my favorite people the other day and we got on the subject about how it's so easy to fake out our husbands into making them believe we've been slaving away in our home all day long.... when really we were sitting on our butt watching the new chick flick :)  So talking to her reminded me that I should come up with a list of quick and easy ways to get your house ready 30 minutes before you're husband comes home. 

#1: Kitchen

            Dishes - load your dishwasher, and wash out your sink

            Clear anything/everything off your counters and wipe them down*

             

#2: Living Room/Entryway

            Put away anything that is out* (for me this always consists of toys, shoes, remotes)

            Straighten everything up

AND IF YOU STILL HAVE TIME….

#3: Extras:

            Start a load of laundry (makes you look busy)

            Vacuum the living room/entry way

            Take out the trash if it's full

            Start dinner

The 50’s Housewife Golden Rule: Clutter makes everything look terrible, unorganized, dirty and lazy* 

           

Seriously…. This all only takes me 30 minutes and my husband, 9 times out of 10, will say “the house looks good.” ha ha ha!
