tasks that need to get done around the house

always fighting about who's turn it is to do the dishes? you may benefit from having a 'to-do' list where someone who's better at doing dishes will do them all the time while the one who hates laundry or cleaning toilets the least gets to do that every single time. This may not work for everyone but I will be trying it with the Wetcat and let you know how it goes! He is definitely resilient to even creating the list because he feels threatened by it. Something like this probably goes in his mind : if we have a list of things that need to get done she will know how little I've been doing and I will have a million more things to do after it. No way I'm allowing her to do such an atrocity! BUT some things just need to get done and regardless of how much you ignore that pile of laundry it will not disappear or do itself so here goes my list of what needs to get done around our place. We don't have a backyard yet (I'm hopeful that we eventually will and that

what to do when it's 20 min til 6pm

All the house is an absolute mess right now, I want to keep writing blog posts and perfecting my lists and plans but the house needs action. When all hope is lost and everything looks like Irma just stopped by the only thing that has to absolutely get done is the kitchen. YES? repeat after me: put music on empty that dishwasher put stuff away throw dishes in dishwasher make high chairs look like you cleaned them, sort of change your shirt and look like the kitchen has been clean all day!

Themed night meals (more photos to be added)

Not a single two nights have we had the same thing unless it was leftovers of the first time I cooked it. That sounds very romantic and exciting but the trouble is and the reason why this is is that even if I cook something we love I never know exactly what went into it so I cant do it again unfortunately. Even if I'm starting out by following a recipe I always end up adding a bit of this some of that and end up with a completely different result each time! This was great when it was only Wetcat and I but now that Chunk and Canary (Kik and Sof) are in the game I think we need to implement some sort of ' tradition ' around mealtime if only it is to ward off any picky eating issues. That is why themed meal night sound like a great idea! The only issue is that what I find online is very... meat eater friendly but not so health or vegan friendly. Examples of what I'm finding go as classic as pizza and taco night and as wild as 'three cheeses' night? Well the dilemma

Gathering my thoughts - purpose

Hello new readers (of course everyone is new, I just created my first blog), I'm writing this blog because it's the new hype thing that everyone is doing, bye and have a good day. Ha' On a more serious note, trying to have a place to journal but also improve my writing skills and review myself and hopefully improve are a few of the reasons why this blog was created so hopefully it will be a learning tool for myself and anyone who visits the blog. I will be sharing some of the endless lists I've been making on paper as well as meal planning, recipes and ideas that I come up with. Also, parenting advice that I want to remember and other that I acquired through reading endlessly on the subject while using it on my own children (for those who don't know that anything good could come out of me I made these two humans, Kik and Sof, at the same time I might add and not to brag or anything but they're a pretty awesome set). Will also let you know of what doesn't wor
