{From the Archives of Connie's Letters. May 11, 2010.}
I used to write my housework ideas down. If you can make an old fashioned, housewifery book. . . it will come in handy. . . Maybe just take notebook paper and bind it with ribbon or brown string. Make a cover for it out of maybe a brown sack. On a Sunday night, in the evening, write ideas for the following week of housewifery.
Make a general idea of a 7 day menu, mainly for the family meal for each day. . . Such as Monday: goulash. Tuesday: hot dogs and beans, etc,. Just a general idea. Then write a grocery list for your week . . Then top clean each day and do deep cleaning after naps. . . from like 2:00 to 4:00.
Have a special project like Monday: wash bedding. Tuesday: do extra baking, etc,. But write down each day what the special project would be. Just make a schedule of ideas and try to follow them or bounce off of them. If you get distracted, at least you still have your housewifery ideas to look back on.
And ya know, I am just making suggestions. If you try some of these ideas and you can't get them to work, just tweak them to fit your life.
Basically top clean in the mornings and get the family meal started by 9:00 a.m. and the kitchen cleaned. Then fix lunch and rest with the children. Then, in the afternoon, do your special project, like sewing or doing extra baking, or cleaning out closets, or under your bed. Or a special day to do extra gardening, or paint the porch.
But by like 4:00 start supper. Then free time after supper to do family things. Then put the children to bed with plenty of kisses and hugs and prayers.
Love Connie
