So, I just started reading a book called Home-Ec 101: Skills for Everyday Living
after stumbling upon the author's blog. I have been doing this stay-at-home-mom/homemaker thing for over a year now and I still don't feel like I have a good handle on it. Specifically the household chores part. There is stuff that I just don't think about, know about... or care about. But, I need to get on the ball!
Well, I'm only up to the fourth chapter of that book*, and then I stumbled across this e-Book called 31 Days to Clean: Having a Martha House the Mary Way
and found out there is a challenge starting up on May 1st (um, tomorrow!). So, headfirst... I'm diving in. Hopefully this will help motivate me to stay after my house a little better. I don't have any excuse any more for the dust and dirt to pile up, the laundry to go unfolded and all that... here's hoping having a blog challenge set before me will get my butt up from couch (and AWAY from the blog, funny enough) long enough to get my house in order! Feel free to join me! The e-Book is only $4.99 on Amazon (and you don't have to have an e-Reader to read it!). Let's do it! (You can click on the image above to find out more about the blogging challenge.)
* Home-Ec 101 has been incredibly inspiring and informative and I fully intend to continue reading and learning from it as well. The author has a hilarious sense of humor (and references all kinds of 80's and 90's trivia, so it's right up my alley!), plus she really breaks down things so that you understand WHY and HOW of it all. And I'm only on the fourth chapter so far!
