Wifey Wednesday

Have I told you about Wifey Wednesday?

It is the day that I do all my "Wifey" duties. You know ... laundry, vacuum, mop, clean bathrooms, kitchen, I basically clean my entire house and end it with ironing the hubbies work clothes while I watch some TV online (we don't have cable) after the kids go to sleep. I started this about 5 weeks ago and can I just tell you I LOVE IT!

It is WONDERFUL to have just one day that I dedicate to cleaning my house. I feel so good! I used to stress everyday and try to get something done and I felt like the kids never cooperated and then I felt like a failure homemaker. But now I do everything all on one day and the kids are surprisingly great for it all! They help when they can and keep themselves entertained or just watch when they cant help. At the end of the day I feel SO accomplished and my house looks great when I go to bed. AND the best part, is every other day I don't worry about anything except playing with my kids (and of course tidying up the toys).

The idea all started when Jeff started busy season and no longer had time to iron his shirts (that makes me sound like a horrible wife, but yes, he did iron his own clothes). I chose Wednesday for a few reasons, but mostly because the shows I want to watch air on Tuesdays which means I can watch them on Wednesday online. And I liked "Wifey Wednesday," it had a nice ring. Then that just adapted into me doing everything that day.

Anyway, I just wanted to let you know all about it because this works for me! And I have been trying for about 2 years to find something that works for me. I can honestly say I look forward to "Wifey Wednesday." I have fun doing it, and it makes me feel so good!

What works for you?

Oh, and what shows do you like to watch? I'm always looking for new ones.

So Happy Wifey Wednesday!!
(All I have left is my ironing:)

What would I have Jason call the day when he does all that for me?

That's so crazy Rebecca! I do that on Wednesdays now too! I didn't when we were in Utah because I was teaching. I split up all the chores and did one everyday when I got home from work (Jeff was doing homework). But I've got a new schedule and it wasn't working. So...it just worked out to do it all on Wednesdays. I really don't know why I chose that day though. I think I just liked that it was in the middle of the week (for laundry) and kind of close to the weekend (to have people over). Great minds think alike I guess :)

Sounds like a great idea! I have the hardest time keeping the house clean and that feeling of being an awful wife ... yeah I feel that too. I'll have to try it out! I watch Grey's Anatomy, NCIS and Lie to Me (occasionally). :)

I have never ironed Lincoln's clothes so you are definitely a super wifey! I love this idea! I've been getting into "Off the Map" lately (medical drama), pretty entertaining.

That's awesome. I love it! We have Saturday as our big cleaning day, but more often than not, it seems like something comes up on weekends and I end up doing bits and pieces through out the week instead. I might just have to change it. But then I don't have as much help if I do it through out the week!
It's amazing what a clean house can do for your spirit.

The Light of the World

By
I was asked to give a talk yesterday in church.  Kinda daunting knowing it was Christmas Sunday, but I think it went pretty well.  I like remembering my talk so I'm throwing it up here mainly for my own record.  But maybe it will bless the lives of others too.  I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and that the Light of Christ will be upon you and radiate from you now and forever. Jesus Christ: The Light of the World Rebecca’s talk given on 12/20/2015 Jesus Christ.  Can a topic be any broader? I have spent a lot of time over the last 6 weeks trying to decide what direction I wanted to go and I kept going back to the same thought, Jesus is the light of the world.  This is not an insignificant statement, but very profound and very important.  Let’s start from the beginning. Many Prophets have testified of the fact that Jesus Christ is the light of the world long before the Savior was even born.  The very first sign of his bir...

Because God Love's Us

  How is Christ’s Birth Significant to me Talk on 12/20/2020 Good Morning Brothers and Sisters & Merry Christmas!   Heavenly Father must know my preferred method for giving a talk is procrastinating because I have been called to fill in last minute on many occasions.   However, this is the first time it’s happened on Christmas Sunday.   But I am happy to be here with you and I’m so grateful for technology that allows us to meet and worship together, especially during this Christmas season.   I’m not gonna lie, this is weird speaking on zoom.   I much prefer being together and making eye contact with you and seeing your encouraging smiles.   So please bear with any awkwardness I may have.   When initially asked to speak, Brother Smith gave me the topic of “How Christ’s birth is significant to me.”   My initial response was, could that topic be any broader?   But then gratefully he followed it up with “Particularly from the prosp...

Kid's Talks

  Riley’s Primary Talk on Baptism 3/15/20 Today I want to talk on Baptism.   Being baptized is a commandment from Heavenly Father.   We have to be baptized to make it back to Him.   Even Jesus Christ was baptized.   If Jesus Christ was baptized we should be baptized too.   When we turn 8 years old we can choose to follow Jesus Christ’s example and be baptized too.   When we are baptized and confirmed we become members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.     If you have already been baptized, you should remember the covenants, or promises you made.   If you have not been baptized, you should study and pray and keep the commandments so that when you turn 8 years old you will be ready. We should all remember how important baptism is.   I am really excited I get to be baptized next year.   In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen Faith Parker’s Talk   2/16/20   Today, my talk is going to be about f...
