Cavorting with the Hot Housewife (The Salacious Stories of Rogerstown)

Product Information

So yes I would raid the closet of a 1950’s housewife any day and maybe I should wear red lipstick a little more often, but I am thankful for being a modern day housewife with all its glorious potential. We go to a 9:00 church service, so we usually just have granola bars, cereal, or freezer breakfast sandwiches. These are perfect for practicing those swaddling skills you learned in those crazy baby prep classes!

What I found was that, in the end, the most valuable things I received were gifts from other moms who knew the best baby items!North States Superyard Colorplay-Once your baby is mobile, it’s hard to relax at all if they are awake! There were a few times she rolled waaaaay off it and gave me a heart attack, but there was one time I don’t think it was a false alarm.

Eventually, our little one didn’t need it, but we still use it when she has to sleep anywhere other than her crib at home. I vacuumed areas I embarrassingly admit I’ve only vacuumed once or twice in the 2 years we have lived in this house.

We fought over blow dryers, straighteners, dresses, shoes, jackets, and, of course, the front seat of the car. My current work gear so to speak consists of jeans (on a good day), a t-shirt (preferably one without baby puke on it) and a cardigan (usually lying in a pile of wrinkled dirty clothes on my bedroom floor). A 3+ hour baseball game is a lot for a 2-year-old to sit through, so I am thankful for the Kid’s Zone! If she was just kind of crying (more like whining), we let her get through it and teach herself to fall asleep. I have been wearing pearl necklaces most of my life; accumulated quite the collection of pearl jewelry as well as an impressive collection of vintage brooches.

Nothing is worse than your baby flooding your only mattress pad in the middle of the night and not having a replacement! We have hard floors downstairs, so I had a little bucket with paper towels and floor cleaner in a spray bottle.To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

I think people who are super against sleep training imagine a baby alone and sobbing for hours and hours. Our daughter apparently gnaws on it when waiting for us to come to get her in the morning and after nap.I only did this cleaning routine for a week and feel like a ginormous weight has been taken off my shoulders. Yes I am proud that I can iron clothes with the best of them and that usually four out of five work days I have dinner on or almost on the table by the time my husband comes home, but all the while I am always exceedingly aware I have far more opportunities and options for my modern housewife life. I definitely had a small case of the Baby Blues, but the lack of sleep in particular was so, so hard. Potty training will require you as a parent to clean up a lot of messes, do a lot of laundry, and do a lot of sitting and waiting as your little one tries to go potty.
