Welcome to my blog on topics about keeping the home - or attempting to - as a Gen X Mom of four and wife to one. :) This blog is written by me, Lori Seaborg, from the Florida-Alabama Gulf Coast. I'm not the person who is ahead of you in mothering and homemaking knowledge. I'm just the gal right beside you, motivating the 11yo daydreamer, keeping up with the 9yo future homemaker extraordinaire (every mama needs a helper like this one!), teaching the rascally 6-year-old while occupying the 3yo. Let's learn together!
• Load the clothes' dryer as you hand over the items one by one. Say the names of the colors of the clothes as you hand them to her, so she'll learn her colors at the same time.
• Empty the silverware container from the dishwasher. My 2-year-old dumps the silverware into the drawer, so we have to straighten it, but at least it is in there!
• Take the silverware to the table for setting it
• Sit on the counter as you make cookies and dump the cups of ingredients into the mixer as you hand them to her
• Clear her items off the table after she eats
• Fill the dog or cat dish with the food that you give her
• Pick up her own toys (if she can pull them out of the basket or drawer, she can put them back in!)
oooo, you're right! I forgot that one. I have those microfiber towels (bought mine on the 'Net but saw some recently at WalMart in the automotive area, where you get oil changed). You only need water for windows with those towels, and just the dry towel cleans any dust. So baby doesn't breathe chemicals!
